15 Games From the Past That Still Feel Ahead of Their Time

It’s surprising that Dead Space received a remake, considering how well the original from 2008 still plays and looks.

What truly stands out is the incredible atmosphere, largely thanks to its immersive, in-game interface and the timeless, terrifying design of the Necromorphs. The game feels remarkably smooth and intuitive even now. Dead Space also popularized the over-the-shoulder perspective, which is still widely used in many modern, high-profile games.
