PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC; EA Motive/EAThis remake of 2008’s urgent sci-fi horror from Visceral Games resists big changes in favour of some laser-focused improvements

Originally released in 2008, Dead Space was EA’s sci-fi riff on 2005’s Resident Evil 4. It took the revolutionary design ideas of Shinji Mikami’s horror masterpiece – the over-the-shoulder perspective, tense crowd-control combat and zombies that weren’t really zombies – and launched them into a far-flung corner of the cosmos, switching virus-infected villagers for mutant alien necromorphs. The results were darkly thrilling, but couldn’t fully escape the light of Resi 4’s incandescent star.
