The Callisto Protocol - Dead Space spiritual successor?

An A or AA title masquerading at AAA as a glance. But you’ll notice as you play. The levels are pretty linear (there are a few places that aren’t completely linear), IMO feeling streamlined due to constraints.
The voice acting is really good but it feels like there was story stuff that got cut due to there not being enough time/money to do what they originally wanted.

Combat is ok. The dodge and melee are pretty good. But the problem you run into is that the game sort of revolves around 1 on 1 melee battles. And you’ll notice this in the AI behavior of creatures when there’s several bearing down on you. It’s sort of an odd feeling at times.

I enjoyed it despite it’s flaws, but it wasn’t worth the AAA price tag TBH and waiting for a sale is the way to go.
