Unfortunately, almost everything in Protocol’s execution has gone wrong. This soon becomes an annoying loop of receiving an order, slightly mishandling it, and being blown up, only to endure the same cutscene or lines of dialogue before starting all over again.Ĭredit where credit is due, this premise is an appealing one and could have resulted in an interesting and fun experience, despite all the backtracking and repetitiveness of the tasks at hand. Chose the wrong option or action? Have a nice day, boom. Dropped the required item? Have a nice, and boom. Oh, trying to go where we’re not supposed to, just to explore a bit? Have a nice day and boom. Go to A to retrieve an item, go to B to use it, go back to A to put the said item back where it was then, go to C for another item, go back to B to use it, and so on. The protocol we must oblige to is quickly proven to be nothing but a bunch of menial tasks and glorified fetch quests. And initially, I thought that as well.īut as I delved more and more into the gameplay, I quickly realise how wrong that first impression was. “Oh, that sounds like a fun romp”, some of you might be thinking.
In fact, we’re incentivised to do so, as the game records every protocol breach and lets us know how many ways of defiance we missed in each chapter. Throughout the game, we have many chances to defy the protocol.
