Yeah, I was surprised at how uninspired overall level design was. Gameplay was meh, but if they had better levels and less technical issues, the game would have done better, INO.

Awesome game and Joshua Dumah was amazing, such a good performance.

It is still peak comedy that Callisto Protocol came to be because EA killed off Dead Space. Therefore the devs went on, founded their own studio and worked on a spiritual successor.
Meanwhile, EA greenlights a remake of Dead Space 1, setting it up to compete with Callisto Protocol (likely a coincidence, but a funny one)
And it ends with the Dead Space 1 remake being the significantly better game.

This.
This is not some underappreciated, "hidden gem" that people "didn't get" when it came out, it's just an incredibly mediocre product that - besides its graphics/tech - has absolutely nothing going on for it...
- Idiotic melee system.
- more vent/tight-spot crawling than all the God of war games combined.
- Linear as fuck to the point of being comedic.
- Zero play testing : The fact that you can reach mini-boss scenarios/encounters that REQUIRE ammunition WITHOUT a single bullet leading you to basically getting "locked out" is absolutely shit.
- Stupid, cliche', predictable story.
- Idiotic stealth elements/moments where enemies are basically blind, dumb and deaf.
I really wanted to like this but...
Played it on hard and for "free" via PS plus, had I spent though 70 big ones for this...sheeeeit

The game isn't terrible but it is lesser than Glen's previous work with Dead Space, mainly in the gameplay aspects. I understand what Callisto was aiming for and it is very ambitious but it wasn't satisfying in both the cinematic and neither the gameplay aspect. The way the industry is right now I doubt it'll get a sequel, but I believe the team could deliver a better experience in the next installment.

I liked it but the DLC... WHEW...

Haha. The DLC was basically shadow dropped and defected straight into our collective faces, like a surprise pie.

terrible ending for an otherwise excellent game. one of the best games I played this year [I was late to the party]
The DLC was even worse.

It's not the "number of animations" but the quality of.
Also : limited animations you can get out of a human ? What ?

It's funny, isn't it man ? The game "screams" 9/10 and "AAA" due to the production values and graphics and yet...it's one of the most miserable game experiences out there due to the absolutely lackluster, linear and shallow as fook gameplay.
Just like you said, this is a 6/10 tops

agreed. a dead space wannabe, released 15 years later, that basically only ends up making the original game look even more ingenious...

I still need to go back and finish this game. I like it enough to give it a full playthrough.

I really enjoyed this game a lot. It really sucks we don't get a sequel. It was maligned due to people not understanding the combat and wanting shooting all the time.

Curiosity of life, when I met Karen Fukuhara a week ago, she was very good to me, she liked the Dead space remake game more than the Callisto protocol game xD.
Here is the evidence.

The opening having a slow walk hallway with multiple "mash X to open" doors in a row was the first indicator that someone hit the level designers over the head with a shovel.

The game deserved its fate. They were talking AAAA speak prior to release. The second you use that jargon you’ve cashed your ticket for failure.
The same guy behind dead space 1 manages to make a worse game, and is surprised when people don’t bite on launch with a myriad of technical performance issues?
Strap on the most boring gameplay loop ever, non stop shimmy segments to load levels, and one boss the whole game? Yeah you’ve got a turd of a product.
Now. That all said, would I have been down for a sequel to fix all this? Yes. The blueprint was there for a much better game. This would’ve been fine for a new talent group and a first time try, but… you made dead space: you know better.

They mocap in game as well, for instance Hellblade 2 all movement is motion captured into the game.
