As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for horror games and a soft spot for revivals of classic titles, I find this week’s offerings at Epic Games Store quite intriguing. The free AAA horror game, The Callisto Protocol, from Striking Distance Studios, catches my eye due to its creator’s past success with Dead Space. With a Metacritic score of 70, it might not be the masterpiece that Dead Space was, but as a fan, I’m always eager to explore new horrors in the galaxy.
As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the current offerings from the Epic Games Store have caught my attention this week. Not only does the store provide not just one, but two free games for its users, but also a whopping $80 in savings! However, if you’re not a fan of horror games like myself, you might find the main attraction, a 2022 AAA horror game, less appealing.
Among the two featured games, “The Callisto Protocol,” developed by Striking Distance Studios and renowned creator Glen Schofield (known for Dead Space), stands out. Launched in December 2022, it has a Metacritic score of 70. On the other hand, there’s “Gigantic: Rampage Edition,” a revamped version of the 2017 free-to-play third-person shooter “Gigantic.” Developed by Abstraction Games and Arc Games, this updated edition isn’t free; it typically costs $20. While “The Callisto Protocol” is priced at $60, it has a slightly higher Metacritic rating of 76.
Below, you can read more about both games and check out trailers for both games as well:
The Callisto Protocol
In this thrilling survival horror game set 300 years from now, players assume the character of Jacob Lee, an unwilling inhabitant of Black Iron Prison, a high-security penal facility on Jupiter’s moon, Callisto. As inmates mutate into grotesque beasts, the prison descends into pandemonium. To stay alive, Jacob must fight his way to freedom from Black Iron Prison, unveiling the sinister truths hidden beneath Callisto’s surface along the way. The game combines gunplay and hand-to-hand combat in a distinctive manner, requiring Jacob to adjust his strategies to cope with the swiftly changing monsters while foraging for new weapons, equipment, and abilities to outmaneuver the escalating danger and break free from the horrors of Jupiter’s haunted moon.
Gigantic: Rampage Edition
The “Gigantic Rampage Edition” is an enhanced and conclusive version of the initial 5v5 Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) Hero Shooter game called GIGANTIC. This premium edition offers a thrilling and interactive team-oriented multiplayer experience, catering to fans of both MOBA and shooter genres. With a varied selection of unique characters, each equipped with upgradeable abilities, players can pick their preferred hero and join forces with four others to manage objectives, defeat the opposing team’s powerful Guardian, and safeguard their own. The GIGANTIC: RAMPAGE EDITION introduces a fresh game mode, cross-platform compatibility, new characters, maps, and gameplay refinements that deliver a more expansive and polished GIGANTIC gaming experience than before, inviting both returning players and newcomers to the exciting world of this Hero Shooter.
