Some spit acid at you, some drag their bodies across the floor and explode, and some are much quicker than others.

I’ve never played a game before where every enemy made me uncomfortable, and if I could avoid every monster in the game, I would. Even the most simple form of creature posed a threat, and this fear of fighting stayed with me until the end.
There wasn’t a single encounter with an enemy I thought I would easily kill. Striking Distance Studios has managed to perfect the art of survival horror. Jacob Lee, played wonderfully by Josh Duhamel, appears to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and after everything goes to hell, you’re left fighting to survive against monstrous beings – humans mutated beyond recognition – filled with an overwhelming rage. While there’s clear inspiration from the iconic horror series, it manages to make use of what came before it while thrusting you into one of the most terrifying and brutal games you’re likely to play for a while.Īfter crashing onto Callisto, one of Jupiter’s moons, you’re thrown into Black Iron Prison and forced to survive long enough to escape the horrors and dark secrets buried within. It is punishing and anxiety-inducing, and it never lets you breathe. The Callisto Protocol is your worst nightmare come to life. I was never calm or comfortable in my surroundings, I was never at ease or in control. For eight hours, I never got used to the hell I found myself in.
