I would also understand the desire to go back and take another stab at more recent games which are really good, but which may have been virtually unplayable due to technical problems. I get the desire to remake or re-imagine older games that actually are dated, like Resident Evil 2 or Final Fantasy VII, which were both completely redesigned with modern gameplay conventions and (in especially in the case of Final Fantasy VII) bold new creative and narrative decisions. It is designed around gameplay conventions that are still standard practice today, and so the original still holds up well, outside of some mildly-dated presentation. Dead Space is only 10 years old, is an HD game that still looks fine. This is a remake that does not need to exist. I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you right up front: I'm coming into this review with a negative bias.

"Shoot the glowy weak spot" boss fightsĪn unnecessary remake full of lateral "upgrades".Doesn't substantially change or improve on the original.Asteroid-shooting mini-game is completely redesigned.Finding Nicole is given more ludo-narrative weight.Gave me an excuse to play Dead Space again?.But this Dead Space one is definitely new, the horror remake is worth your time according to our Dead Space review, and I'd like to see more free trials in general. Have I seen a free trial on Steam before? Maybe.
Dead Space's own launch wasn't bad, although it has issues on Steam Deck. At a time when several PC ports have had less than stellar launches, including EA's own Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a way for people to give them a spin without spending money first seems like a good idea. Dead Space is also 20% off for the duration.įree trials are useful because they offer, among other things, a chance to test whether a game will work on your PC. The free trial is seemingly only available between now and May 29th, so youy have around two weeks to give it a try. If you press the button, it'll prompt you to download and install the trial, which requires a little over 36GB of drive space. There's a Play Now button and text showing how many minutes of playtime you have remaining. If you visit Dead Space's Steam store page in the Steam client, you'll see a box at the top of the page, between the trailers and the purchase options, which reads "Try Dead Space - Free Trial".
