Ikelos The Callisto Protocol Review

As a huge fan of atmospheric horror games (especially Dead Space) I was really hyped for The Callisto Protocol. It had all the right ingredients: a gritty sci-fi setting, grotesque monsters, and a strong survival horror vibe. And while it absolutely nails the atmosphere and visuals, the gameplay experience ended up being more of a mixed bag for me. This game wants to be the spiritual successor to Dead Space, and in some ways, it is. It’s stunning, eerie, and packed with intense moments. But gameplay-wise, it struggles to stay engaging over time. If you’re here for the atmosphere, you’ll probably enjoy it. If you're looking for tight, varied combat and polished performance, it might leave you wanting more.
