I think I finally understand... Dead Space 3 is an Action Comedy Classic. There, I said it.

Take everything you know about Dead Space 1 and 2 and how they redefined Survival Horror, created excellent tension and dread, and how Space (while vast) can be stifling and isolated.

Now replace all of that with a highly repetitive Explosive Action Comedy Motif. That wears it's welcome out with a constant barrage of cheap Jump Scares. That's Dead Space perfectly summarized.

I hate to say it, but Callisto Protocol isn't a spiritual Successor to Dead Space. Callisto Protocol is the Sequel to Dead Space 3.

It's a shame as well because Gameplay is excellent and finding fun with Weapons Crafting is really good. But that's not what Dead Space is all about. Thanks to EA's meddling, Dead Space lost it's identity and turned into a generic "Me too" shooter.

I will surely enjoy playing Dead Space 3 to it's conclusion. But it's really starting to drag...
