I want to feel like I’m in his suit as I try to do what I can to make it out alive. But for me, that’s more important for something like this. The remake does give him a voice and does flesh him out a bit as a character, but it’s nothing jaw-dropping in the ways of character work. Just one silly little guy in way over his head who picks up tools and weapons to become a one-man killing machine throughout the game. He’s not a space marine with years of combat training. Isaac is just a maintenance man sent to help repair the ship where his girlfriend works. It’s a perfect cocktail of fear for the game’s hero, Isaac Clarke, to slam back before this totally normal man goes to try to find the woman he loves. It also sprinkles into some truly incredible alien cult threads along the way as well. The plot of Dead Space blends the atmospheric horror of being locked into an oppressive metal corpse of a ship hurtling through space with the scares of mutated human alien monsters that just won’t die. What I mean when I say that it allows me to become a monster is that I can become the killing machine that stomps through the squishy bodies of those who stand in my way. When I say monster, I don’t mean that the Dead Space remake lets me become a spiked-arm alien ghoul. Readers who have played the game may be saying to themselves that Dead Space doesn’t let you play as the series’s monsters called “Necromorphs,” and it doesn’t.
