All the ingredients were there. Directed by the creator of Dead Space, inspired, partly, by the Resident Evil remakes, and boasting a novel combat system, The Callisto Protocol also had great visuals and supremely atmospheric setting. But when it launched in 2022, the reception, though mostly warm, was less than the explosive fanfare which we all perhaps expected. I think, in time, The Callisto Protocol will earn a reputation as an underappreciated gem - the first half of Striking Distance's horror game is especially effective. But now director Glen Schofield, whose credits also include Call of Duty, details problems with The Callisto Protocol's publisher, Krafton, and the content that had to be cut.
