So being a big fan of the Dead Space series, I had full confidence in Glen Schofield and his newly formed studio, Striking Distance.


Maybe you’ll need to tweak some settings and download some fan patches because of that annoying vsync issue but once you solve that, it’s a damn good time. If you go back and play it today, it won’t feel aged at all. The original is easily one of the best modern survival horror games and it still holds up surprisingly well. Dead Space keeps on living in our hearts. The Callisto Protocol has been released and after finishing it at the end of my playthrough that roughly took 10 hours, it is safe to say that it is a heartbreaking disappointment. The premium AAA horror we have been waiting for was finally on the horizon. The game kept getting marketed as a horror title. Glen Schofield, the game’s director, talked a bunch of times about how he and the team understood horror, and how they knew how to make an effective, scary horror experience. It was the original Dead Space director with possibly more people from the original crew. For the last year though, we have been seeing a small movement in the AAA horror industry and with more new IPs and remakes to look forward to next year, The Callisto Protocol was possibly one of the most exciting horror titles that everyone had been waiting for. For a very long time, we haven’t been getting any new horror games except the Resident Evil series. The AAA horror scene has been long dormant.
