Jason says, “I’ll start out with it: I’m impressed. This easily stands up there as being one of the best remakes: it dares not disturb the original. Unlike other remakes, this isn’t a soft reboot, either: it’s a properly modern upgrade to a core classic formula and design. You might see the letters “EA” and look for reasons to downplay or bash this remake, but you’d just be blind to the fact that they knew they needed to be faithful to people like me who revered the original. So while there are fundamentally old designs that may turn off more modern gaming minds, anyone who has an appreciation for the era of horror this game came from is in for a truly modernized classic. Finding flaws requires a witch hunt, an angle I don’t have. This is truly new AND old classic Dead Space.”
