Welcome to the Gaming Retrospective series, where we uncover hidden gems and iconic titles that have left an indelible mark on the gaming landscape. In this episode, we're stepping away from the conventional firearms and delving into the unsettling world of melee combat with two distinct titles: The Calisto Protocol and Condemned: Criminal Origins.
Though they diverge from the Doom 3 formula as they are leaning more into the survival aspect , these games offer their own unique takes on horror gameplay. Calisto Protocol, despite its mixed reviews and initial bugs, brings a visceral combat system to a universe that reminds us of Dead Space. Condemned: Criminal Origins, on the other hand, delivers an authentic, psychological horror experience through its focus on melee combat and disturbing enemy behavior.
What sets these titles apart? Why do they deserve a spot on our list? Tune in as we explore their gameplay mechanics, atmospheres, and the ways they challenge our notions of what a horror-action game can be.
