Logs are used to unfold the background story of the events that happened at the derelict USG Ishimura and see some replays in Dead Space Remake. There are mainly three types of logs; Audio, Video, and Text. All these are scattered throughout the map of USG Ishimura.
If you look at the total number of logs, then there are a total of 188 Logs in Dead Space Remake. Out of the 188 logs, most are story related and will be collected automatically, so you don’t have to worry about them. The logs you need to worry about are 80, which you must collect manually.
These manually collected logs are really important to achieve the total number of 150 collected logs, which will help you get the Legend Teller and Story Teller achievements in Dead Space Remake. Collecting 75 will unlock the Story Teller achievement while 150 will unlock Legend Teller. You can ignore the other 38 logs unless you really want to 100% everything in the game.
Do keep in mind that some of these logs are what trigger side missions or are the only way to find the Peng treasure so ignoring the remaining 38 should only be done if you have completed all side quests and located the treasure.
So to make things further easy for you, we have prepared the Dead Space Remake logs locations guide that will cover the locations of all the logs you must collect manually.
