A Non-Horror Fan Reviews Callisto Protocol

I completely agree the game isn’t bad it’s just okay definitely not worth full price and it’s just “meh” when you compare it to the original dead space there’s no chance this game is anywhere near as good with things like forced qte sections especially because they’d take your health just to give you a health pack two steps away making me wonder why they’d even make you take damage in the first place. And yes all it had to do was be scary and it really wasn’t ,making you jump and being startled really isn’t the same as being scary. If I had to use one word to describe it it would be “clunky” things like when your grp runs out of battery you drop the thing/enemy just to have to then pick them up again after the battery gets replaced to getting hit mid dodge trying to go through the last 3-4 chapters with the awful stealth sections and “blind” enemy type if you run even a little bit they’ll just know where you are even though they’re blind and should just run to where you last were they’ll just active the bat senses and charge at you. Things like how tanky every enemy feels taking multiple hits even with a max damage baton is ridiculous! And don’t even get me started on the mutation mechanic…how’re you supposed to “ShOoT tHe TeNtIcLeS” when the enemy either dies and comes back,turns away or sprouts them just as you’ve finished your combo and they start beating on you? And the combo strings too like you said I never knew I had to guess but I found just waiting and dodging whatever they did worked but it would most often leave me and the enemy in a short staring contest before I realised it was my turn to hit back. I found the story actually interesting most people say it’s bad but it seemed okay to me except the awful awful ending and that last boss fight made me want to just quit it was literally one of the worst final boss fights I’ve ever experienced. Overall it has it spooky moments and it can be great but its just very very clunky I think it’ll get better with updates and QOL changes but seriously right now don’t even bother just wait for some serious updates or just spend the money on the deadspace remake.

People take things too seriously.
I love a space horror single player game. As long as it's not impossibly hard on the easy setting and has a story, I'll keep at it.
I would have loved Alien Isolation if not for the fact its unplayable for a casual gamer.

Hey! FYI! As of the posting of this comment it didn't have the Ghostwire Tokyo vid pop up!
