Dead Space (2023) – Save 85% – £10.49/$10.49 from £69.99/$69.99
Released in the same year as the fantastic Resident Evil 4 remake, it might be fair to say that the Dead Space remake may have been overshadowed somewhat, which is a shame. Befittingly, the original Dead Space is inspired by the original Resident Evil 4(as well as the movie, Event Horizon)
Along with the likes of Alien: Isolation, Dead Space is one of the scariest video games sci-fi horrors of all-time, built from the ground up with not only improved visuals and gameplay, but new areas, story beats, and its protagonist, Isaac Clarke, has a voice to help develop his story, something that was not present in the 2008 original. If you love horror video games, you owe it to yourself to check out the Dead Space remake
“With this Dead Space, the developer welcomes not only faithful players but fresh-faced recruits and stunningly enough, neither of them knows what they’re in for. They will love the ride, though. Scream if you want to go faster, and all that,” said GAMINGbible alumni, Imogen, in her review
