Dead Space

Alone aboard the Ishimura

Released on 27 January 2023 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, this remake retells the story of Isaac Clarke, an engineer sent aboard the mining ship USG Ishimura, overrun by Necromorphs. It keeps the original's uninterrupted camera and strategic dismemberment, with an expanded story and areas.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (8/10) praises a very faithful remake, expanded story and areas, and superb atmosphere and sound effects; it criticises disappointing visuals, some frame rate drops and poor DualSense support. GamesRadar+ (4.5/5) finds it terrifyingly gorgeous, with loads more depth than the original and effortless confidence, but says map backtracking can feel restrictive and some nods to the source material feel dated.
