Feels familiar but also new if that makes sense
They are creating things back as you remember but with a fresh coat of paint

Gameplay looks solid (as it should do). I was a bit worried during that initial cutscene as the first two things I always turn off are chromatic aberration and depth of field, if I can.

Didn't this game just come out under a different name?

If the secret ending isn't a bunch of necromorphs doing a song and dance number I'll be most put out.
In all seriousness, I'm assuming this is what some people in the internet are just desperate to spoil.

The game's averaging an 89 on Metacritic. Nice to see this years off to good start with horror games.

I played about four hours last night and it's really fun but like the previous Dead Spaces, it's not scary, like at all.
It just blares music and screams at you and expects that to do all the work. One of the the jump scares even has the music play before the actual monster on screen lunges at you.
But yes, as a game it's fun. The combat's great, the new writing is pretty good, and there is more exploration and short cuts than I expected. One of the problems however is that it's kind of confusing to back track as the map isn't great and with the game being in an industrial setting, a lot of the environments blend together. Which makes going back to unlock lockers with newly acquired keys hard to do since I don't remember where anything is. Its possible the game does this on purpose to make item scavenging harder but given every enemy drops ammo/health/money, I doubt it.I think a 3D map like Doom 2016 and having rooms with items still in them be a different color than completed rooms on the map like the recent Resident Evil games would have gone a long way.
Also, while I'm happy that you now get weapon parts through exploration rather than at the store, I wish that they actually gave your weapons an immediate upgrade rather than just opening up new branches on its skill tree. It kind of takes the fun out of the discovery when the benefit of finding a part is several upgrade nodes away.

Really? I always found the atmosphere in Dead Space put me right on edge before any scares.

Really? I always found the atmosphere in Dead Space put me right on edge before any scares. To me, the game's just too eager to scare. They're so many moments where I hear a noise and think "what was that" but then the loud scary music starts playing and I go "oh, it's just a monster". It takes away my ability to be startled when you try to do it every three minutes, like, I'm not even flinching at the jump scares at this point.

The game is getting some really good praise
Looks like they got a vehicle to do more Dead Space

I never played the original Dead Space but, though I'm early on (maybe halfway through Chapter 2), I've found the remake to be really intense and enjoyable thus far.
