Dead Space (2023 remake)

[]

I had played the original Dead Space (2008). The 2023 remake is a take-for-take remake. I felt it was too slow. The combination of slow gameplay and waiting through cutscenes again and again after dieing in combat, combined with the instability (3 crashes within 4 hours of play, on a Windows 10 machine) made me not want to slog through the game again.

The Game setup is always the same. You enter a dark room. Monsters spawn behind you. You kill them by cutting off their limbs. Sometimes you enter a lit room. But then the light goes out and monsters spawn behind you.

There is the occasional jump scare. The fates of the crew are told through text and audio logs. Sometimes there are cutscenes, which are OK, but sometimes there are cutscenes d or long dialogs uring missions, and ypu can't skip them.

I feel that Prey (2017) is more my avenue. It's not dark and there is far more game variety to the gameplay and the enemies.
