Imagine yourself walking slowly down the dark, dank corridor aboard a desolate space station. You’re being stalked relentlessly by hundreds of unimaginable grotesque horrors, under-equipped and unprepared for the desperate situation you find yourself in, and the long, arduous night ahead. You’ve found a few others along the way. But entrusting your survival in anything other than the makeshift weaponry you’ve made out of mining equipment scavenged along the way seems like a sure way to perish in the silence of space.
If you’re a horror sicko and this harrowing scene sounds like a fun way to spend 12 to 14 hours, then you will no doubt enjoy the original Dead Space. Thankfully, developer EA Motive preserved Visceral Games’ 2008 classic with one of the most overlooked and well-made remakes of the decade.
