The original creator of Dead Space returns and carries with them all the worst ideas of AAA gaming. Callisto Protocol resembles the bastard, still-born child of Dead Space, Uncharted 2, and The Order 1776. Focusing on a combat system that felt like it should have lasted for one chapter of a full game where you lose all your gear, you are instead forced to dance dodge through every same-y encounter with it.

Because this game cheaply immitates so many others, it's easy to make a list of other games you could be playing

Dead Space ( the original or the remake)
Dead Space 2
hell Dead Space 3
Condemned: Criminal Origins for satisfying melee horror from two generations ago
The Suffering for clever mutated monsters with a prison setting from three generations ago
Manhunt for stabbing dudes with a shank and having an actual atmosphere from three generations
Final Fantasy 7 remake for shimmying through tight spaces over and over
Dynasty Warriors for fighting braindead enemies that all look and act the exact same for the entire game.
