The most important thing is they are very aware of how beloved the original was, so they are making sure to keep the core intact. The possibility is actually pretty high as following the developer blogs during development they are adding plenty of modern touches like lighting, new characters, side quests and moving to one sequential shot. Can it possibly get ranked higher than the original and the sequel. The original Dead Space sits only behind Dead Space 2 by one point with an 88. The other thing is where the Dead Space Remake will end up in these rankings. The other reason that Extraction is ranked above Dead Space 3 is because it still felt like a Dead Space game despite its change in perspective to first person, it was still very atmospheric and tense. The formula was already in place from the first game. Dead Space 2 didn’t change much from the first but slightly iterated on everything the way a tradtitonal sequel should.

I ranked the first game higher as it has left a bigger impression on me and it felt much closer to a horror game. If you want to see our full thoughts, check here. Having never played Dead Space Ignition, I was interested to see if it got unfair treatment due to it being a spinoff, but after playing, it can be agreed upon that it’s easily the worst entry in the series. There is one small caveat and that is all versions of the Dead Space Mobile game were taken down in 2016, five years after its release, which means that we will only be able to use the critical rank.įor the most part the rankings are quite similar, with the main difference being that we have the original in the top spot and the critical consensus is that the second one ranks slightly better. Once we have those two methods laid out we can try to cross reference to find a middle ground. There are two ways to rank the series, the first would be the critical success and the second would be opinion based. With Dead Space getting a remake by Motive that is due out in January 2023, there seems like no better time to figure out what order the games rank in the series. There were the three mainline entries, Dead Space Extraction, the on rails shooter initially released on the Wii, Dead Space Ignition, a puzzle based game which served as a prequel to Dead Space 2 and finally Dead Space Mobile that served as filling out the universe between 1 and 2. After the surprise success of the first Dead Space in 2008, EA went all in on the brand and within a very short period of time, there were six games.
