Not being able to keep track of what is optional and what is the main story path within The Callisto Protocol is frustrating, as it requires players to guess whether they are going the right way - something that can wreak havoc on the game’s pacing. Unfortunately, The Callisto Protocol has no such system. This makes completing Dead Space’s side missions or opening high clearance level containers to get more loot a breeze. Fortunately, this feature is present, with players able to press in their right stick to go wherever they want. With the USG Ishimura designed so that Dead Space fans can return to parts of the ship that they previously visited, it makes sense that a tracker would be necessary.

Considering how strong Dead Space’s lore is, this is problematic, as is the feeling that Black Iron Prison is just a collection of video game areas instead of something that feels like it was once a living, breathing area like the USG Ishimura. The best storytelling happens in The Helix Station podcast, with the narrative and world building within the game being lacking. There are a few obvious things to point to, as though The Callisto Protocol has stellar visuals and solid melee combat, it feels like a step back in other key areas. Given the similarities between these games, with Glen Schofield clearly aiming to deliver a successor to his 2008 classic via Callisto, it is worth looking at why one has thrived as the other has struggled. On the flip side, EA Motive’s Dead Space Remake has been celebrated by the industry and fans alike, receiving praise for its level design, audio, and story improvements like Isaac being able to speak. Though The Callisto Protocol reviewed decently well and had some solid sales for a new studio’s first game, most have viewed the title as a disappointment.
