The Callisto Protocol deserved more. A spiritual sequel to Dead Space, despite some repetitive set pieces and fussy gun combat, Striking Distance’s debut survival horror had a great melee system, a supremely well-drawn setting, and some smart ideas.

Combining hex-based battles, diplomacy, and a branching story, it’s a seriously unique proposal, and PCGamesN has an inside look.
