Callisto Protocol and the Importance of Why?

I, like a lot of people, were looking forward to Callisto Protocol. Dead Space was one of the best newer horror games of the past few decades. So a new space horror game brought to you by some of the people that worked on the original Dead Space sounded great. 

Dead Space seemed like a thriving franchise, but EA, in their typical EA fashion, ran it into the ground after adding un-necessary coop and microtransactions, and milked what made the original so special right out of the franchise. I've heard the remake of the first one is pretty damn good, but I've yet to try it. 

Callisto Protocol felt like it could exist in the Dead Space universe. It thrived to be that level of game. What I think we got, was a game running up against smaller budgets than needed to accomplish the vision.
