    What’s wrong Glen? I thought you said this game was your baby, exactly how you envisioned Dead Space was supposed to be, if you had completely creative control?

    Turns out maybe the problem was you, Glen. Because that DDR-inspired wet napkin of a game that was Callisto Protocol, had zero of the appeal that draws people to Dead Space. The DLC was something you should creatively be absolutely ashamed of and made it pretty much impossible to actually continue the story.

      Kinda glad I steered away from it. Dead Space is literally my favorite game and I held off on Callisto. Seems like I dodged a bullet by what I read just on the Steam reviews.

        Yup, I don’t even dislike Dead Space 3, but I would rank Callisto Protocol far, far, below that game. I finished the entire game and felt like I had simply wasted a colossal amount of time. The story was abysmal, the world building was weak, the gameplay was repetitive sidestep nonsense. I literally see no reason to ever recommend that game to anyone.

    I play a ton of horror games and this one was so terrible I fell asleep with the controller in my hands. Charging for death animations was the cherry on top of this shit sundae.
