This game sets the bar for AAA games releasing in 2023. It was nearly perfect in every way. From the visuals, to audio to environment and combat, the entire game felt fluid, responsive and very well done.
If you've never played Dead Space before and like a good scare, you're in for a treat!
Highly recommended.

Cons- My 2080ti overclocked on water could not handle above 60fps at 2k resolution with graphics set to ultra and ray tracing turned off. That's with a 13900k and 64gb DDR5 backing it up. Game is beefy!!

Holy F*** buy this game!!

Review date: May 3rd, 2022
Cons: Title lacks severe progression mechanics, content becomes repetitive extremely fast.

Pros: Very cool art and combat style. The music and characters are well done as well.

Hopefully further updates will push this game towards the top of my list, but is unfortunately missing some core mechanics.

Absolute masterpiece
It's open world Dark Souls with tons of content out of the box. There are dozens of weapons and spells to find, all with their own weapon arts and spell animations. Every turn you take has you running into some cave, crypt, merchant or mini-boss.
PC performance is terrible and needs hotfixed, there are work-arounds, however. FPS is capped @60.

Still no settings to change FPS without editing files. Disappointing.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was this an amazing remake. I have every achievement from the base game and I STILL come back and play it from time to time. Probably the best Survival-Horror I've played since Dead Space 2.

Hands down the best Rouge-Like you'll ever play. Been over 5 years, It's still an "always in my library" game. Absolute hidden gem.

Like Survival-Horror? This game is for you. Yes, its reminiscent of a Resident Evil game... But isn't that what you crave?

The voice lines and character acting is shotty; but the puzzles, gameplay and storyline are actually really good. Support Local Business, buy this game.

As an avid Survival-Horror fan, I saw great potential in this title. TL;DR: Not once was i scared, panicked or worried.

This game starts off strong and then just drags. After realizing what kind of monster, or, "entity" I was up against I was immediately turned off. Not to mention the ridiculous and tedious puzzles you must encounter just to try and get to the next scare... Which is laughable at best.

Buy on flash sale, play for 1 hour, never touch again <- My best advice.

Any new or existing fans to the Half-Life series will greatly appreciate this "redux" as it brings new life to an all-time classic!

Crowbar Collective did an absolutely amazing job not only keeping the gameplay feeling familiar and grounded but also adding their own touch. I have been waiting for a few years now to be able to play the finished version and saw that they recently released the "XEN" update which is as close to the finished product I was willing to wait. Haha. It was phenomenal. The ending of Valve's Half-Life felt kind of draft and I went into Half-Life 2 wondering things that didn't feel fully explained. XEN gives you the opportunity to revisit it and put some of the pieces together for yourself without ever saying a word. The graphics are revamped and vibrant, the sound and music is great and the weapons are fun to use.

Highly recommended to life-long fans or anyone new to the series who never had a chance to play the original Half-Life.
