Log provide “interesting” information and backstory This majorly hurts the experience and the atmosphere. Compared to Dead Space, Dead Space 2, System Shock 2, Prey, and the like, the backstory, lore, and environmental storytelling does not feel particularly fleshed out. Dead bodies, a few scribbles on some walls, and general chaos in each location are not enough to tell a story. There is also little in the way of environmental storytelling. The logs are all very short and barely add any background information, location lore, or chronology of events leading up to what was currently happening on the station. What compounds this issue is that there are very few collectible logs and other information compared to something like Dead Space. Except for the final sections, most of the time you “go here” and “get over there” simply because “we need to escape.” As a result, I did not feel like I was discovering anything meaningful about what happened as I journeyed to the end. A large chunk of the game is very light on story details. The big issue is that you don’t get to really know any of the characters during the game. While the story is not particularly original, the excellent voice acting is enough to drive the experience forward. As alluded to in the trailers, bad things were being done in Black Iron, and you get to see the consequences. I will not go into any specifics since that is spoilers territory. This colony is located on Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter. The story revolves around an event that has happened in the Black Iron prison colony. Things look pretty good on the “Dead Moon”, from afar at least. The game is finally out, and I’ve had a chance to play through my most anticipated game of the year. A spiritual sequel to Dead Space, perhaps? Well, it sure looked that way from the trailers. When I found out that Glen Schofield and several other people from Visceral started a new studio and began production on The Callisto Protocol, I was excited.

I’m a massive fan of the Dead Space series, and with Visceral having been closed down by EA, there was little hope of a new game in that franchise.
