As part of the Halloween sale on Steam, you can buy one of the best horror games of all time with even better graphics.
Which game is it about? We are talking about Dead Space. The horror shooter was originally released in 2008 and quickly became a classic. In 2021, publisher EA announced a remake of the game. It was released in 2023 and received very positive feedback. On Steam, Dead Space costs only €17.99 until November 11, 2024.
You take on the role of Isaac Clarke, an ordinary engineer. You are on a mission to maintain the USG Ishimura, a massive mining ship in space. However, upon your arrival, you find that a large part of the crew is dead and Isaac’s partner Nicole is missing on the ship.

Atmospheric Horror in Space
What makes Dead Space so special? The horror game impresses with its dense atmosphere and exciting enemy design. Gradually, you explore new areas of the mining ship and repeatedly encounter the terrifying Necromorphs.
The Necromorphs are a constant threat that cannot simply be stopped by shooting at them. To get rid of them as quickly and efficiently as possible, you deliberately sever their limbs. You have a range of weapons at your disposal, which you can improve over time.
The game’s user interface is designed to be very minimalist. Your health is displayed on Isaac’s suit, ammunition on your weapons. This enhances the immersion, which is especially important in a horror game.
How is the game received? Overall, players on Steam are very enthusiastic about the remake. Out of over 38,000 reviews, 91% are positive. The good graphics, sound, and seamlessly integrated UI are particularly praised. Some negative reviews mention performance issues, such as stuttering frame rates.
At the beginning of October, another horror game with a really good remake has come back from the dead. You can read about which game it is in this article on MeinMMO: A new horror remake becomes a bestseller on Steam, even competes with Resident Evil
