One such quest, surrounding Nicole’s investigation into the marker was an unexpected pleasure. Newly added side-quests don’t just allow you to explore more of the ship, they offer you deeper detail about the story. The latter having a much more nuanced story arc here. Then you also have expanded characters like Dr Mercer, Hammond, and Kendra. Rather then just being dropped in, it’s a living organism from the very start of the game. Which builds a much better connection to him and how he fits in the new world of Dead Space.Īlongside that is the expanded view of the religion Unitology and how its role has shaped the lives of the people aboard the Ishimura. The most immediately obvious being that Isaac is no longer silent – in fact, he talks a lot. Those who played the original game will recognise this story and the remake doesn’t deviate from the main plot points at all.
His girlfriend Nicole who sent him a distress call shortly before they arrived. Not only that, but Isaac also has a personal reason for being aboard the ship. Before they can escape back on the Kellion, the creatures destroy it, forcing Isaac and the rest of the crew to get to safety, find a way to fix the Ishimura, and get off it alive. The cause being mutated human corpses called ‘Necromorphs’. It’s the job of the Kellion crew to board the Ishimura, find out what has happened, and fix it.Įxcept, once they board, they find the ship seemingly deserted and in chaos. A ship that has gone silent and no-one knows why. They have been dispatched to the planet Aegis VII where the mining ship, the USG Ishimura, is stationed.
Players take on the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer on a repair vessel called the USG Kellion. This remake doesn’t strip away the flesh of the original game, instead it builds upon it in satisfying ways. An original that still stands the test of time now. All while staying true to what made the original 2008 game so beloved. However, under the bloody and gristly exterior is a thumping heartbeat that showcases fresh ideas. So much so, that on first glance, the remake of Dead Space looks to fall short.
Capcom’s exceptional Resident Evil 2 remake set an extremely high bar for remakes.
