The Callisto Protocol Review – Extremely Flawed, Extremely Fun

I just finished this game tonight and I didn't really have too much to complain about it in the end. Some of the check points are in stupid places, not a huge variety of enemies, and the game crashed once on my PS4 but other than that I found it pretty good. I'd recommend it to someone looking for something new (I've never played a deadspace before)

I really enjoyed it up to the last 4th of the game. Having to fight Mr. two head 4 times within a few hours of gameplay was a bit ridiculous. The combat with these creatures could have been designed better. Becoming locked in the same death animation whenever he comes in close proximity gets quite old after awhile. That's why I think the development was rushed since I noticed a bunch of assets were being reused. Either that or they were going over budget. I definately think this one deserved more time in the oven. That being said overall it was still a great experience. The sound design and graphics are top notch. The combat against normal enemies is fun and engaging. It kind of reminds of a mix between Condemned and the Evil Within. Being able levitate enemies and throw them into hazards was like icing on the cake. I really hope despite the negative
reviews it sells well and garners a sequel. Then maybe we can see the full potential of what this new studio can do.

I enjoyed it tho. Played it even twice haha had to do it again but on hard mode. Had no issues on the PS5 version.

Honestly i'm getting tired of hearing all these nit picks. Half the crowd wanted a Dead Space game & they're mad cuz it's not DS game. The other half are complaints it's too much like DS game.

But i'm personally very pleased with this game both because it's like & also not like DS. It's a great entry to sci-fi horror survival that brings so much what i love about the DS games & tweaks the formula to keep it fresh.

And then we've got all these people who say that this game is too much linear. I don't get this most of the survival horror game is linear. Everything from Resident Evil to DS games are experiences with very few branching paths. So wtf did you all expected & where did those expectations came from ?

Also everyone likes to complain about the combat system but in reality it's actually quite good & appears alot of work into it. Heck it's probably the best combat ever featured in any survival horror game & somehow people people still hate it. Or maybe i'm the only weirdo who sees this game as a great achievement & an awesome game experience.

But TBT, the mostly the complaints i hear about this game are trivial at best. I personally want to see this a franchise succeed so that we can play the expansions & sequels. But if everyone keeps sh!tting on like this for stupid reasons, then it will flop none of less.

Thanks for giving an honest review!
