I want to experience dead space for the first time, is the remake a genuine improvement and the way to go for new players? or is it a Re4make situation where the vibe and soul is stepped on?

How do I play horror games when I'm such a coward that I close my eyes in the lead up to jump scares in horror movies? I'm completely paralyzed and can't move when I play a horror game. I know there's a lot of fun to be had in the horror genre, especially games and movies, but all I can handle are books. People say you just need enough exposure, but how can I get that exposure when I can't even play more than half an hour of one, and in that time I don't move? Am I fucking broken? How are people able to consume things with jump scares so easily while my anxiety kills me with those same works? Do I have anxiety? What the FUCK bros??

Remake or original?
