10 Games Like Dead Space Remake if you’re looking for something similar

Dead Space Remake is finally here and fans just can’t get enough of the fears and dreads that make up the game’s terrifying setting. But what if you’ve already destroyed the main campaign? Or maybe you don’t have a next-gen console or PC to run it? Fear not (or none in this case), we have 10 Games Like Dead Space Remake For Anyone Looking For A Similar Experience.

Alan Wake

While it doesn’t take place in outer space amidst a terrifying spaceship infested with alien zombies, Alan Wake is still spooky enough to scratch that horror or survival itch that fans of the Dead Space remake are probably craving. The game follows the title character Alan Wake, a best-selling thriller author, as he tries to solve the mystery behind his wife’s disappearance.

While this may sound like a fairly typical approach to a mystery game, the gameplay loop and enemies add a whole different dynamic to the thrill. Armed only with a pistol and a flashlight, Alan must navigate the shadows of Bright Falls and illuminate his ghostly enemies in order to deal damage.

This makes for a satisfying and unique approach to gameplay, as your flashlight ends up being even more important than your gun. If you love horror and haven’t played Alan Wake, you really don’t know what you’re missing.

Foreigners: Isolation

Did you love the part of the Dead Space remake where you’re trapped aboard a spaceship with monsters but just felt like something was missing? Are you the kind of weirdo who thinks, “This would be a lot more exciting if I couldn’t fight the enemy and have to hide from them while they’re chasing me?” Well, that’s pretty much Alien: Isolation.

Alien: Isolation is very similar in theme to the films and books, even going as far as having you play Amanda Ripley, the daughter of the show’s star, Ellen Ripley. With limited defenses at your disposal, the game loop is entirely based on survival as you must dodge the Xenomorph that will pursue you with your every move while solving puzzles that will help you advance.

BioShock

Would you kindly recommend me more games like Dead Space Remake? If that’s your question, then Bioshock is for you.

There are honestly few games that can match the intrigue and atmosphere of Dead Space, but BioShock is definitely one of them. In this game, players are transported to the utopia known as Rapture. During its heyday, this underwater location was a beacon of prosperity and wealth, boasting marvelous wonders and innovations that mankind had only dreamed of up to that point.

Unfortunately, the game takes place shortly after the fall of Rapture, which is now overrun by terrifying mutants (splicers), massive scubasuit guardians, and evil megalomaniacs. Using your powers known as Tonics, it’s up to you to get out of the city in hopes of reaching the surface.

control

Control might not be for everyone, but its heavy emphasis on obscure sci-fi and a unique gameplay loop is something fans of the Dead Space remake will likely resonate with. In this 2019 title from 505 Games, you play as Jesse Faden, a woman who has come to the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) headquarters to find her brother.

However, instead of finding her siblings, she comes to a building known as the Oldest House. Not only does it defy the laws of physics by constantly zipping in and out of a mystical realm, but it’s also home to supernatural beings called Hiss who seek to harm anyone who crosses their path. After gaining her own kinetic powers, it’s up to Jesse to figure out what the heck is going on at the FBC.

dead space 1-3

Now I know what you’re thinking: “Why would I go back and play the older Dead Space games when the remake is so much more modern and better?” Well, besides the fact that the second and third games haven’t been remade yet , it’s also important to realize that there are many differences between the original and the remake.

If you go back and play Dead Space 1-3 again, you can see how much has changed and speculate what changes might be made to the sequels if they too ever get a remake. Most importantly, more dead space will never be a bad thing…even if it means dealing with a love triangle in the third title.

Metro Exodus

If there’s anything scarier than battling mutants in outer space, it might just be living underground amidst a world awash with creatures and deadly radioactive air. In short, that’s what you get with Metro Exodus.

Exodus, the third – and latest – installment in the Metro series, is a story-driven FPS that combines deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror, set in a post-apocalyptic world. Resource management and monitoring your surroundings are vital as you must search for gas masks, ammo and health to stay alive.

Anyone who thrives on the thrill of simply trying to survive a horrific situation will love Metro Exodus.

Resident Evil 4

If you’re a survival horror fan or just a fan of great action shooters in general, you owe it to yourself to play Resident Evil 4. Although this title was released nearly two decades ago, this title still stands the test of time as one of the greatest video games of all time.

Much like the Dead Space remake, Resident Evil 4 is also getting its own brand new remake in a few months, so what better way to prepare than to play the original for the first time. That way you can really appreciate all the changes and improvements that will be added when the Resident Evil 4 Remake comes out in March.

The Callisto Protocol

Let’s face it, The Callisto Protocol really shot itself in the foot by releasing right next to Dead Space as the comparisons between the two would always happen because of how similar they look and feel. Despite the fact that it’s a smaller version of Motive Studio’s remake, there’s definitely still something in it for horror fans.

Anyone looking for more gore, jumpscares, and a terrifying atmosphere similar to Dead Space remake will feel right at home playing The Callisto Protocol. Jacob Lee’s story of escaping a prison ship that was trapped in space and filled with monsters is very similar to the story of Issac Clarke’s own journey at USG Ishimura, so there’s that overlap as well.
