How Long Does It Take to Beat Dead Space 1?

The main storyline of the remake of Dead Space doesn't differ too much from that of the original, with the game divided into 12 main chapters. In our experience for review, it took us a little over 13 hours to beat the Dead Space remake on Medium difficulty, without any New Game Plus benefits.

The time it takes to beat Dead Space will depend largely on your difficulty and how many repeat runs you might need through an area. These may be fairly quick runs back through areas you’re already familiar with, but they’ll still eat up some time. Those 12 chapters of Dead Space will roughly run you anywhere from an hour to a little more to beat.

However, there are also some side quests to tackle too. Many chapters cut off a bit differently compared to the original, or have different ways of moving between them altogether. This is because the USG Ishimura, in Motive’s Dead Space remake, is much more open and has side-quests that may require some back-tracking.

Motive's take on Dead Space treats them more like narrative book-ends, while not always creating hard stopping points or cut-offs. Previously, chapters marked hard in's and out's for different areas. While the number stays the same, the way the chapters flow has significantly changed.

Overall, it seems that the remake of Dead Space will take you around 13 hours to beat on Medium difficulty, but this time can vary depending on your skill level and how many times you replay certain areas. With each subsequent run through, it will probably take you less time as you become more familiar with the game's layout and mechanics.
