Of course Isaac endures…but only just, and with a sizable dose of PTSD for his troubles.Īs I said this is a remake, but Dead Space has not just been spruced up from a graphical perspective.

Yes indeed, confusion abounds because I love the Dead Space franchise. I don’t do scary Movies, scary TV or scary Video Games.
