It’s vague and interesting enough that it started to sink its teeth in. So, as Jason, you try to escape this hell-on-earth while also trying to find out what exactly is going on.Īs a set-up, I was on board right from the get-go.

He then wakes up right in the middle of a living nightmare, with the prison being overrun by horrific parasitic monsters devouring everyone in sight. Jason gets quickly detained and booked in the most traumatizing way possible… having prison tags drilled directly into his spine. The thing is, Callisto also houses the massive Black Iron Prison. This leads to your ship crash landing on Jupiter’s second-largest moon, Callisto. During a routine shipment, your ship gets boarded by a rebel group looking for… something. In The Callisto Protocol, you play Jason Lee, a transporter who makes regular shipments between different colonies. So how did the spiritual sequel created by an original creator of the Dead Space series hold up? In my opinion, not well. It’s been many years since we got to play Isaac Clark, the protagonist of Dead Space. However, The Callisto Protocol from Striking Distance Studio and KRAFTON has promised to fill the massive Dead Spaceholes in our hearts. Since then, I’ve never looked back as a horror fan, especially a Dead Space fan. That winter break, I stopped by the first Gamestop I could find and picked up both Dead Space 1 and 2 to play over the holiday break. That is until my Freshman year of college, and my RA played a horror game from start to finish in my dorm room- Dead Space 2.

I steered as far away as possible from horror games for a long while. Horror games weren’t always my favorite genre.
