Only the Dead Survive.
A massive deep-space mining ship goes dark after unearthing a strange artifact on a distant planet. Engineer Isaac Clarke embarks on the repair mission, only to uncover a nightmarish blood bath the ship's crew horribly slaughtered and infected by alien scourge. Now Isaac is cut off, trapped, and engaged in a desperate fight for survival.
- Strategically dismember the Necromorph enemies limb by bloody limb.
- Zero gravity combat means terror can strike from anywhere.
- Uncover the horrific truth of this shocking thriller.
Game Features:
- Messy monster slaying
The Necromorphs are unlike any enemies you've seen before. Headshots do about as much damage to them as flicking rubber bands. To survive, you'll need to dismember their insect-like limbs, one at a time. - Improvised weapons
There aren't many traditional firearms aboard the Ishimura, but there's plenty of stopping power in Isaac's toolkit. Send horizontal or vertical blasts of energy at enemies with the Plasma Cutter, remotely control a high-speed sawblade with the Disc Ripper, and fill hallways with wide swaths of destruction with the Line Gun. Switch things up with alternate fire modes, and purchase upgrades to increase ammo, power, and reload speed. - Real-time attacks.
Whatever you do, don’t drop your guard. Everything takes place in real-time. That means any action you take, whether it be reloading or digging through your inventory, gives the Necromorphs a perfect opportunity to attack. This nightmare has just begun and it’s up to get to the bottom of what happened here.

Horror classic fondly remembered, and for a good reason. The perfect blend of combat and atmosphere. The weapons are punchy enough to feel potent, but the enemies are scary and strong enough to feel like a threat at all levels of the game. The Statis and telekentic mechanics are fun. Only downside is the Zero-G segments get pretty motion-sickness inducing but they are thankfully few and short.
A classic survival horror game, loved every second of it!
Gameplay, story telling, visual effects, sound effects, UI design are all on point.
It's a great game, it's Dead Space.
Absolute classic so many years later, decided to play before hitting the remake and still makes me wish we saw more from this franchise. The only major bug ive seen was in the beginning section when you obtain the plasma cutter, the necromorph wouldnt appear until Vsync was turned on but other than that it ran just fine.
Finally played it, beat it and I loved every horrifying minute of it. <3
This is a very good survival horror game, the enemies are terrifying, the story is interesting and the weapons are awesome, if you can, please get not only this game, but Dead Space 2 as well, if you really feel you have to complete the trilogy then Dead Space 3, otherwise i'd recommend Dead Space 2008 (or 2023 if you have a beefy PC.) and Dead Space 2, 3 is a certified maybe.
messed with the setting's, then played for a while then turned the game off, went to go play it again. It won't even get the the selection menu it'll just crash. waste of money. better to get a ps3 or xbox and play it on that.
Dead Space is a masterpiece of survival horror, setting a gold standard for the genre and leaving an indelible mark on gaming history.
This spine-chilling title expertly combines atmospheric storytelling, innovative gameplay, and nerve-wracking tension to deliver an unforgettable experience!
The storytelling is masterfully subtle, unfolding through audio logs, environmental details, and Isaac’s growing desperation.
Gameplay is where Dead Space truly shines...
The innovative "strategic dismemberment" mechanic forces you to rethink traditional shooter tactics.
Simply aiming for the head won’t cut it here; you need to sever limbs and incapacitate enemies in creative ways, which adds a layer of strategic depth to every encounter.
The weaponry, especially the iconic Plasma Cutter, feels satisfying and perfectly suited for the grim task at hand.
The immersive presentation elevates Dead Space to another level.
The HUD, integrated seamlessly into Isaac’s suit, is a stroke of genius that enhances immersion and keeps you grounded in the game world.
The haunting sound design deserves special praise, with eerie whispers, distant clanging, and the Necromorphs' guttural screeches creating an atmosphere of constant dread.
The visuals, even today, hold up remarkably well, with the Ishimura’s dark, oppressive corridors dripping with detail and oozing with atmosphere.
Dead Space is relentless in its ability to unsettle...
The pacing is immaculate, alternating between moments of high-intensity action and quieter, more psychological horror.
The jump scares are earned and effective, complemented by an overarching sense of dread that keeps you on edge throughout the game.
Isaac Clarke himself, initially a silent protagonist, becomes a relatable and compelling figure as the game progresses.
His vulnerability, coupled with the weight of his personal struggles, adds an emotional layer to the horror, making his journey all the more gripping.
Dead Space is not just a game, it’s an experience!
Its ability to terrify and captivate in equal measure ensures its place among the all-time greats of the horror genre.
If you’re a fan of survival horror and haven’t ventured into the Ishimura yet, you’re missing out on a seminal experience!
Dead Space is a must-play, and its legacy as one of the finest horror games ever made remains unshaken.
Its Dead Space! Do I need to tell you how amazing this game is! You already know that! JUST PLAY THE GAME!
Classic game that broke what was a horror game at the time. great game even still to this day
An old classic and a must play - but, if you haven't done Dead Space before, I HIGHLY recommend buying the 2023 Dead Space remake instead. The remake basically takes everything great about the original, updates it for our era, and also addresses many old bugs and "jankiness" endemic to a game of this age.
Even playing this game for the first time, 16 years after its initial release, it carries well in today's horror game genre. It blends the horror of Resident Evil with the shooter theme of games like Half Life in an interesting way. Haven't played any other ports in this series, but this game has me intrigued at giving them a go sometime.
You should do these two things before playing the game on PC with mouse and keyboard:
1) Don't use the game's vsync feature and use vsync via your graphics driver. The game's own vsync caps the fps to 30 and makes it very unpleasant.
2) Download the Dead Space mouse fix fan patch. The mouse aiming is normally dreadfully bad and this patch makes it perfect.
Those two easily fixable issues aside, this game is so fantastic. I'm not all that familiar with horror games, and I don't think this game is scary in the slightest, but every other aspect of it is top notch.
First, the gameplay. It's absolutely perfect. You have to shoot the Necromorphs' limbs to kill them, then stomp on them to make sure they are dead. The shooting is impactful, satisfying, requires precision and the gore is really good too. There's a lot of weapons that can be bought from the store, though I only used the Plasma Cutter and the Pulse Rifle, both of which were enough.
You have some tools like Stasis and Kinesis, though they are used more often for puzzles than combat. Stasis is used to slow down fast object/enemies, and Kinesis allows you to move objects and throw smaller ones at enemies. These tools make the puzzle sections fun, and though I didn't use them much in combat they were useful in that regard too.
There's a lot of Necromorph types with distinct behaviors. Slashers are the most common ones and are easy to kill, Swarmers constantly leap at you and can be annoying to deal with, Pregnants spawn more enemies if you shoot their belly, and the Exploders might be my favourite type of Necromorph. You can shoot down the explosive they carry to kill them and other enemies around them, and the explosion is glorious. Every now and then there's also the Brute, a miniboss that is very dangerous and makes you want to use Stasis on it to make it more easily manageable.
The presentation of the game is really good too. The graphics on a basic standpoint look good, and the ship has a lot of dark areas and areas filled with fleshy walls that are kinda gross. The most interesting part of the game is the HUD. Instead of it being a typical HUD, it's very different. The player's health and stasis are shown on the back of the suit, video screens are shown in front of Isaac and move with him as he moves etc. It's very innovative.
There's the Zero-Gravity areas which are creative, with you being able to jump from one distant location to another, and enemies like Leapers attack from every direction in those areas. I find them to be some of the most fun parts of the game.
Levels also have parts where you are outside the ship and need oxygen to survive, which gives a sense of tension. Enemies often appear and you want to kill them quickly so you can leave the areas before your oxygen becomes dangerously low. Isaac's exhausted breathing and a lot of things being quiet makes it quite tense.
Enemies and ammo crates give you resources you need, like ammo and weapons, and you can also buy said resources from the shop. There's items that have the sole purpose of giving you more money when you sell them, making you want to look for them. The most important things to buy in the shop are suit upgrades and power nodes. Suit upgrades allow you to carry much more resources, and you can use power nodes for things like increasing your health, making weapons deal more damage and take less time to reload etc. Power nodes also appear in many locations, so it's good to look for them.
The story is... alright. Isaac tries to find his girlfriend over the course of the game, and the other few survivors like Hammond help him. I didn't find any of the characters all that interesting, and Isaac has Gordon Freeman personality. The twist at the end of the game was cool though, and the ending... had something sudden happen out of nowhere.
Boss fights are fun, but they are on the easier side. All of the bosses require you to shoot at yellow parts of their bodies to kill dismember them, and they all can be killed without much trouble. I'd say the hardest boss was the Slug, and that was mainly due to the bad turret controls.
As I said, I find the game to be very lacking in the horror department. It's atmospheric, but not really scary. The game sometimes uses jumpscares that aren't even shocking, and I also didn't find the violent death scenes to be that disturbing.
Conclusion
Dead Space 1 might be one of the best games I have played in a long time. Lackluster horror and kinda bad story aside, the game is amazing in every aspect. Combat is great, graphics are great and level design is great. The game is outright a masterpiece in my eyes and I recommend it.
9.5/10
I totally recommend this on other consoles. Due to issues with the PC Version. Specifically is a lot of issues happened during Chapter 5 where you can't progress. Sadly you may have to restart.
While I do love the atmosphere, the story, etc, it can get really annoying with the standby door glitches despite me doing everything correctly. Other than that, it's a good game.
An iconic classic still fun today, 7.5/10 at its worst.
This is a critical review looking back at a game from 2008 and how it plays today on PC. The weapon balancing seemed off, I ditched the plasma cutter early on which clearly was never thought about. My game became soft locked as the ripper couldn't kill the tentacle drag pull or the leviathan so had to run back to buy the contact beam (note this is on impossible but max upgrades).
Odd design decisions that left me scratching my head. Had a node locked door not returnable but no store or node pickups in that section. I used stasis on a moving object that kills you instantly for it to have no effect (turns out you have to go out into space to complete the objective) just short sighted stuff.
I liked the forgiving checkpoint system as it made death not painful and pushed the player to inch further ahead, you could always give it another try. As the game is dated, the keybind options for me were poor. A known issue where I had to enable vsync and lower my frames to get through one door at the beginning. Also I fell through the map at one point when using a lift, so the game does lack some polish.
Honestly there is so much to love in this game including your death animations. It hasn't aged the best but is playable provided some tweaks here and there and a little patience. When it works it works great and you can quickly forget that this game came out in 2008. This game does a lot right just age catching up to it.
Great Game, great graphics, storyline, experience and more stuff... Worth every penny spent.
If ever you have low fps, just disable V-Sync.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
The horror and suspense of this game built a franchise.
P.S. 100x scarier when you share the main characters name.
I'm kind of disappointed with Dead Space, honestly. Now, it is not a bad game, first and foremost, it's just I went in with high expectations, and it simply did not quite fulfill them. I thought "The political intrigue and character motivations of Ridley Scott's 'Alien', coupled with the psychological and body horror of John Carpenter's 'The Thing'? This must be one of the best horror games ever!" How naive of me.
Body horror has never quite been my cup of tea. I do not directly associate blood and gore with fear or even 'unsettling-ness'. To me, the more viscera you pump into your game does not make it scarier, it only makes it a bit more gross, and over doing it makes graphic deaths lack impact as the audience grows accustomed to the gore.
Jumpscares are a topic I touch on with every horror game and movie I play or watch. They rarely startle me passed the first few, and even when they do, the instant shock passes very quickly, not leaving any lasting impression.
The story is forgetful, and shallow. I cannot remember a single character's name beyond Isaac and Nicole, nor can I recall major plot points. Characters, regardless of their importance to the story, drop like flies, as such it felt useless to become attached to any in any way.
The core story-gameplay loop got tiresome. "Isaac, this part needs fixing!" You go to fix it, fighting monsters along the way. "Good work Isaac! Ah, damn it, now this other thing needs fixing, go fix it!" Rinse and repeat for 12 chapters, some reusing the same levels you already cleared once before.
If I were to give my own two cents: Watch Alien and The Thing instead. They tell better stories in shorter time frames with great pacing and memorable characters. Now, if you enjoyed both and desire more, then Dead Space is an ok place to continue.
I give Dead Space (2008):
7 Power Nodes out of 10
The more I play and watch horror content, the more I realize maybe the genre simply isn't for me. I find most shallow, and not very scary at all, really. This game might've gotten me with a jumpscare once in the entire 8 hours of playtime.
P.S. - Jumpscares are loud, like REALLY loud. Do your ears a favor, and play at lower volume, lest you be ear-graped (minus the g)
great game decent story line gun play is fairly basic the 3rd person view at the time was definitely interesting but for 2008 this game is pretty solid
If you like RE4 and ripping limbs off of alien zombies, then you may enjoy this game.
Darker than the time I spent with a homeless guy in the mens room of the Chicken Treat in Daglesh
Its a shame the others aren't as great... and they made that remake for a game with a simple fix to run smoothly.
there were some bugs
I find disheartening that the new remakes are worse than their respective originals in anything but graphics .
Don't bother buying the 2023 remake , apart for achievements and barely graphics , everything is better in the original.
One of the best games ever made, it's really an incredible experience from start to finish!
Good story, pacing, and game play. Got it on sale but its worth the full price.
It's a classic, you better play this game. Don't use anything but the default pistol.
Controls were not that great from the porting but still loved the game when it came out and today
designs were sick, gameplay was alright, dont play it on a keyboard like i did. not that scary at all though
The game's alright, but it wasn't spooky or atmospheric to me.
Dead Space is a sci-fi horror masterpiece, to put it short, it's a foundational work in the genre. The artwork is disgustingly delightful, the sound design is exemplary, the gameplay can be fast-paced when it needs but is also conducive to slower pacing for more effective tension-building; this game has it all. The story kept me engaged and retained a consistent amount of tension throughout, and the combat is incredibly satisfying. Honestly the plasma cutter, your first weapon, might be my favorite in the game. It's super fun cutting the necromorphs apart limb from limb. If for whatever reason you're a sci-fi horror fan and you still haven't played this game, you need to fix that immediately. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Except on the visuals, this game is far superior than the remake in every other aspect!
If you are looking for the true master piece of survival horror, this is the one, the remake is infected with DEI propaganda,
One of the best Space horror games. This game is definitely not for the faint of heart and who get startled easily.
Pros-
1) Amazing graphics for the time.
2) Excellent creature designs for the different types of necromorphs.
3) Good story and great level design maps for the different parts of USG Ishimura.
4) Good weapons catalogue and the upgrading technique.
5) Loved the use of statis and kinesis modules in the game.
Cons-
1) Combat can be improved.
2) Startling creature noises can get irritating after a point.
3) In some levels, the number of creatures attacking from different directions can get too much for the player to react.
Verdict - 8.5 / 10
PROS:
+This game stands the test of time.
+A solid survivor horror game set in space.
+The musical score and ambience is superb.
+Still worth the amount of money I invested again to get the game again on Steam.
+Play the second game in the series. It's just as good.
CON:
-The way EA has mishandled the franchise.
This is peak gaming. Not only does the game feel great, but it's a visually stunning game even without the remaster! Seriously impressed with this franchise; finishing DS3 and the DLC this week.
An all time classic shooter horror game,very grindy but also super rewarding
I haven't played any horror games in a while, but god damn -- this game scares the crap out of me with its sheer intensity of its high -volume noises!! Not gonna lie!
The eerie ambient sounds aboard the desolate spaceship crank up the tension, making every step forward a nerve-wracking experience. And the enemies? Absolutely disgusting and terrifying! At first, every encounter felt like life-or-death, but as you progress, you start to adapt and face them with more confidence.
I haven't finished the story yet, but it's gripping enough to keep me hooked. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds!
I LOVED the game. However, since the "new" one has come up, I noticed "issues" with the original. Currently, the problem is that, when starting a new game on "Hard", the game will not allow me to progress beyond finding the plasma cutter. Continuously, where the first necromorph you can shoot SHOULD be, there is nothing. The crewman being attacked is being attacked by air. Without being able to kill that necro, you cannot go through the door and progress. This is ESPECIALLY upsetting because there is NO save point before this...meaning you have to go through the WHOLE OPENING SEQUENCE before getting to this point to try again. I tried it on medium, and there's no problem. I have been through this point already in hard mode, so I know this wasn't a problem previously. Why only now when there's a "Newer" version available? EA: Fix this problem someone in your organization created. I wanted to play through one more time in hard mode and use the cool armor and stuff I'd earned previously. However, I notice that the skins are gone, and the game won't allow me to play. Is this what you have to resort to in order to try and generate sales of a game I"d already planned on getting after one last playthrough??
The Dead Space remake brilliantly revitalizes the 2008 survival horror classic, enhancing nearly every aspect while preserving its terrifying essence. The USG Ishimura is more immersive than ever, with stunningly detailed environments, revamped zero-gravity sections, and a new interconnected design that encourages exploration and backtracking. These updates bring a modern touch to the original’s atmosphere of dread, creating an experience that feels both familiar and fresh.
Combat remains a gruesome highlight, demanding strategic dismemberment of necromorphs while introducing new layers of gore and enemy variety. Enhancements like circuit breakers and Stasis canisters add tactical depth, while quality-of-life improvements, such as manual flight controls and reimagined sequences like the asteroid defense, refine rougher edges of the original. The Plasma Cutter and other weapons shine in combat, making each encounter feel dynamic and tense.
With its meticulously crafted upgrades and attention to detail, this remake not only honors the original but sets a new standard for remasters. Whether you're a returning fan or a newcomer, Dead Space is a masterclass in sci-fi horror, blending strategic gameplay, a gripping story, and a hauntingly atmospheric world. It’s an unforgettable journey into terror.
Controls a little jank, but the charm is not lost on me and it holds up as a really fun game to play. Only 3 hours in now but I've been having a lot of fun, not a lot of scares yet but I'm also a lot older and more jaded, maybe when I'm further in I'll get spooked!
An exceptional video game. Apparently my previous playtime was just a bit of 2 (not counting 3, because who cares?), and I had actually never played through the original before. I'll likely play the remake at some point as well, but we will see! The weapon variety was always a bit strange, as I ended up just not using my third weapon slot, because I felt strong enough with the Ripper and Line Gun as my full arsenal aside from the default Plasma Cutter. This did cause a bit of a scare at the final boss, as my inventory was full to bursting with ripper blades, which wasn't ideal for that fight. Made it through in one attempt regardless! The weapons in Dead Space are so memorable, even if I didn't touch a few of them. Do note that the controller controls suck for the turret section. I used a keyboard for that and nothing else.
Now for the star of the show: The sound design! I played this game set so loud, which is not my habit. The sounds of the ship creaking and falling apart, the ominous and varying whispers, the distant tinny voices of the security system, the dullness of everything but the inside of your suit when you enter a vacuum. Chef's kiss. Stupendous.
Overall, A tightly-packed and excellent gaming experience. It gave me something I'm not entirely used to; I often found myself entering a strangely zen state while playing it. A sort of anxiety-induced meditation, if that makes sense. High marks.
I also have to briefly gush about the UI choices. It's all in-world, and it's so classy. Your healthbar is along your spine on your engineer suit, along with your stasis meter. Your ammo count is shown by the weapon. The menu is an actual HUD that Isaac has to actually pull up and look at. It's stylish and elegant and I love it.
Played this for the first time recently and it turned into one of my favorite horror games. An absolute classic
Absolutely recommend it !! the best scifi horror game ive ever had the priviledge of playing hold onto your seat because the immersion will make you crap your pants
Waste of money. Keys are locked and cannot be configured, even when trying various hacks from google search. Mouse movement sluggish and even playing with xbox controller still need a mouse to turn the player. Not recommended!
Once you play this game, you will understand how the name 'Dead Space' is everywhere even among those who don't play the game. I love how the game is not too complicated in terms of puzzling. Imagine, instead of confronting various types of aliens that you need to deal with, you spend more time walking around with no clue where to go or what to do. You won't like it, right? We all know the reason for playing this type of game. So, this game knows its audience pretty well. The story progression is simple. It tells you almost everything, including where to do or what to do, but to accomplish them, well, it depends on your skills.
I felt in love with the style and creepy atmosphere of the game and I really like the model of the main character. I bought it a long time ago and I am glad I played it only now in its full glory. This kind of games with very dark scenes are especially good on OLED displays. There is something especially creepy to be alone in space, knowing some unfriendly alien form of life is transferring behind steel walls of a spaceship and at any second can attack and kill you.
Very good game, space survival horror before new politics if you know what i mean (guiño guiño)
Without a doubt, THE best horror game I have ever played. This games ambiance is absolutely stellar, it had me checking my back time and time again to make sure there wasnt anything behind me. The Ishimura creaks and groans, and you can hear things running through the vents, screams, human or otherwise, echo throughout. The game keeps you on your toes the entire time, I literally could not recommend it enough!
If you have a machine that's able to run the remake get it instead of this version, if not, well this is an option. Although it's old, it's great and you can still get scared by it, has a fun story and gameplay. Like always, graphics might deceive you but trust me, it's awesome.
Still one of my favorite games! It's Resident Evil 4.... IN SPACE! Can't wait to try the remake that came out a few years ago.
-Story is absurd and predictable
-The sound designs are not for fear but for torture of the ear
-Game mechanics cause headaches and nausea
-Monsters are so boring
-Characters do not provide a lively atmosphere at all
it was the WORST game i've ever played
Also, Resident evil 4 (orginal) is mentioned in the reccomendations. But this game cannot be match for it
(Game that everyone praised was nothing)
10/2
This game is amazing with its gameplay, music, atmosphere, tension. A masterclass in horror action games
However, I got too scared and had to turn it off.
I've always been a huge fan of apocalyptic games, but 'DEAD SPACE' franchise delivers cosmic survival horror on another level. I played 'DEAD SPACE 3' long ago on my first PC around 2014-2015. I still remember that feeling of a fresh and deadly horror atmosphere that the game gave me but, until today I never got an opportunity to experience the actual origin of the story. After all these years I kept every single spoiler about the main story of both 'DEAD SPACE 1' & 'DEAD SPACE 2' far away and I'm so glad I did. This was such an awesome experience and even though the game is around 16 years old everything including story, graphics, gameplay, and art/sound design was crafted by heart. The only problem I faced was FPS problems so locking it under 120 FPS was a great solution. I can't wait to experience the second part of this masterpiece and eventually re-imagine all those memories from the third one!
