What this game is
Dead Space (2023) is a full remake of the original 2008 game from Motive Studio (EA, Montreal) on the Frostbite engine. You play Isaac Clarke, an engineer who arrives at the USG Ishimura mining ship in response to a distress signal and ends up in a real nightmare.
The ship is overrun with Necromorphs, monsters born from reanimated human bodies. The key mechanic of Dead Space: they cannot be killed with a shot to the head. You have to methodically shoot off their limbs with the Plasma Cutter, the series' iconic weapon. This turns every encounter into a tactical puzzle under pressure.
The remake was rebuilt from the ground up: Isaac has a voice and a full story arc for the first time, the ship is now a single continuous space with no loading screens, new side missions were added, and so was a real-time system for peeling the skin off Necromorph bodies. Lighting on the Frostbite engine creates an atmosphere the original could only promise. Ray tracing (RTAO), DLSS 2 and FSR 2.0 are supported.
Metacritic PC: 87. Steam: Very Positive, ~62,600 reviews. One of the top games of 2023 in the survival horror genre.
Note: there is no official Russian language, neither text nor voice-over. Fan-made Russian translations are available (text + unofficial voice-over).
The cult 2008 space horror game has been rebuilt from scratch: Isaac Clarke with a voice, a living ship, Necromorphs, and not a second of loading.
