Loving Dead Space as much as I do, I was very excited about this game. I still play through all three DS games, in order and including the DLC for number 3.
So far, I'm enjoying CP allot and glad I bought it. At times, it feels more like an interactive film and the combat (as mentioned by many) is testing. But let's be honest here, when measured up to the Dead Space trilogy, it's an unfortunate fail I'm afraid. But measure it up with other 3rd person survival horrors out there and it holds its own very well. It looks stunning, sounds stunning and oh the flows of gore is an absolute treat.
For me, it's a keeper and if I was a magazine, I'd award the Callisto Protocol 80%.
