    I was hyped, i really was. A game from Dead Space creator on paper sounds great.
    Sadly the final product is very rushed with some questiobable gameplay mechanics.
    In short, dodge system sucks, you use left analog stick to dodge left and right which doesn't feel good, especially when you fight multiple enemies at once. There is no indicator for offscreen attacks and combat becomes mess...    I was hyped, i really was. A game from Dead Space creator on paper sounds great.

    This game is painfully linear, basically straight corridor. Level design of Dead Space 1 is miles ahead.
    There are no puzzles. Bosses? You got one mini boss re-used multiple times and one main boss. Biggest disappointment of 2022    … Expand

    This is what happens when you give an indie team of amateurs AAA money.

    Horrible combat mechanics, terribly written, cliche after cliche after cliche, it’s definitely not scary, at all.

    The only good thing is the ambience, graphics are great and the zombies look fine. But it becomes very monotone, very quickly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is average at best. You can see that they were in a hurry to release it. The design of the environment itself is interesting, the soundtrack is great, but it all comes down to the image of a beautiful environment which is.... empty. The combat is unsatisfying, you don't feel the upgrades you unlock during the game at all. Using the gravity gauntlet is totally unintuitive, I fight two enemies at once, and the gauntlet targets a box from the corner of the room instead of the enemy.

    The game is full of bugs that spoil the immersion. In one stage we fight enemies who are blind, reacting only to sound. You can murder a nearby enemy with a knife, you can trample him, you can throw an explosive cylinder in the corner of the room - other enemies won't pay attention to anything. They only react to shooting and walking.

    The Polish translation in the game is one of the worst I've ever seen, it sounds like the person translating doesn't know what the game is about at all, there's also a mass of untranslated texts or those that were translated shamefully badly. In the English version they said "It's busted" (the elevator), in polish they've translated it as "They busted us".

    The dodging and blocking mechanics themselves are tragic, as we fight one opponent it is acceptable. But when fighting several opponents - you don't know what's going on.

    The controls are tragic, selecting weapons/healing/energy replenishment requires a hell of a lot of clicking.

    Information about the world we collect is very perfunctory, a few sentences at most. We have to play the audiobooks ourselves in the menu, why don't they automatically turn on when we pick up like in dead space? I don't want to go into that menu, click, search, just to hear 3-4 sentences.

    On Playstation5 I had 4 situations when the game turned off by itself. Numerous FPS drops. The whole game took me only 8 hours.

    Disappointing, is how I would sum it up.    … Expand

It’s completely linear which isn’t a totally bad thing, but besides some hazards they never do anything interesting with it. It doesn’t help that half the time you squeeze through corridors, crawling through vents, or climbing ladders. I will say though that the graphics and presentation are really great. The attention to is absolutely insane. I also love the atmosphere and vibe of the game. It does indeed remind me of Dead Space. The death animations are also really gory to the point where Japan had to ban the game from their country. That’s how you know it’s crazy violent. Now honestly this game would’ve been a 5/10, but what pisses me off the most is that the devs have the gall to leave the game on a cliffhanger for future DLC. You barely deserve the $70 and now you want extra $$$ to finish the story. Oh hell no. It’s not even that good of a story. It’s insanely predictable.… Expand

    Horrible frame rate loss during cut-scenes. 5 CTDs in first hour of gameplay on PS5 The CTDs seem to also wipe out recent saves as I am getting put back about 10 minute after reloading the game. I had to stop and shelve it until this mess gets fixed. I'll give two points for the atmosphere and music so far, but otherwise unplayable.

    Worst trash I've played for a long time. **** performance (even after patch) on a RTX 4090. Gameplay is a joke with the worst combat system to date. You're forced to melee and even the most basic enemies takes 5+ hits to kill while you die in 4 hits. Good luck when you face 4 enemies at the same time. The game is not hard, just pure broken and unfair. Do yourself a favor and stay away...

And the Walmart version of clickers are a joke you can even bump into them and silent kill them all as long as you stay crouched this is beyond broken and not scary at all, this game is a joke. Gameplay is clunky and stiff and repetitive. And the HDR is a broken washed out mess which is not the best for a “horror”game if you want to make it scary when blacks are grey even on an Oled. Characters are bland and writing is bad. Story is bad too. Only reason this pos would deserve 1 point would be because of graphics that’s it. This Game - HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Not worth $70… Expand

In some games, it is possible to get away from opponents and hide from them, but in this game such a thing is out of the question. I said this because my health isn't always full so I need a new but the opponents are always after me. And let's come to the thing that annoys me the most: the automatic save in the game is only designed for some situations. If you die after clearing some enemies, everything will start again. And that's pretty frustrating!!! There are no puzzles in the game, always open fire, keep fighting the enemies. Very boring!!! The main mission in the game is quite boring and the missions are the same. Example "wait for me I'll be there" or "I am here". I'm constantly going to the checkpoint and the new checkpoint opens and I do the things I've done over and over again. It doesn't make sense anyway because the story of the game is not great. And I faced the enemy 4 times during the BOSS fight! There is nothing interesting in this game except graphics and scenery! Also, what's the end lol?

    For goodness sake, why are there still developers in 2022 not allowing me to skip cutscenes? Enough already. I don't want to watch a stupid movie about outer space. I just want to punch monsters. I'm getting real sick and tired of unskippable cutscenes. It's as if these video game directors failed to make it to Hollywood and got bullied for their interests in astronomy, norse mythology, WWII and all of that stupid bookworm trash, so now they want to take out their frustration on gamers. Whatever personal problems you developers have, go and sort them out. But don't you dare drag me down that rabbit hole, because now you're starting to make it personal with me. It's one thing to make a horrible game, but it's 100 percent inexcusible to not allow me to skip cutscenes in a AAA game. I paid $70 so I should be able to skip whenever I want.

    As I mentioned earlier, there's no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. The developers were too cheap and lazy to include multiplayer. The only good thing in this game is graphics, but the graphics sacrificed the gameplay and multiplayer.

    The game has 3 types of guns, 2 of them have 2 variations, but ultimately the same gun, the upgrades for these guns are cheap and lazy, more ammo, less sway and more damage - theres nothing interesting about it, and its copy pasted across all 3 weapon types.

    The good things is the graphics and the start of the game. But the combat is outdated, the pace is slow, leaning pretty hard on what Dead Space did in a lot of things, lacking cool gear, and the few hulk-bosses and ending is just outright bad.

Releasing an unfinished product for 70/80$ with basic features like New Game+ and Hardcore mode aren't ready at launch, and other features like extra death animations and skins being locked behind a paywall and releasing months later.

    The Callisto Protocol simply takes advantage of Dead Space and other successful survival horror games to hype itself up.

    This game is, in my opinion, a bad uninspiring copy of Dead Space. And although it is marketed as a survival horror game, it barely has any elements to justify that.

    - Very linear hold W or forward design to finish the game. No actual exploration whatsoever.
    - None to very light survival horror elements that don't blend well with the game's pace nor combat; for instance, the game applies slow animations on healing and other actions, yet it throws bunch of enemies at you where the game simply becomes a brawler rather than a survival horror game. It feels that the game is struggling to identify itself as a survival horror game because it also wants to be like Doom. Another example: the stomp mechanic in Dead Space was used to preserve ammo to finish off enemies. Here in Callisto Protocol, they allow you to stomp enemies but award you ammo for it, completely nullifying the survival horror aspect of it.
    - The combat is fundamentally flawed.
    - Death animations are cool however they have no smooth transition. They feel awkward when they happen during combat, especially that you already take damage from enemies you can't look at or evade thanks to the awfully designed combat. You'll also take little damage even if you dodge (right or left won't matter). You also can't skip death animations, so if you keep dying due to the frustrating combat system, then you'll have to watch the long death animation every time. A complete mess.
    - Very cheap poorly paced jump scares and the game never stops repeating them.
    - No puzzles at all.
    - The game presents no significant new ideas throughout its linearity to refresh its pace.
    - Pretty uninteresting story.

    + Graphics and sound design.

    Verdict: wait for a sale if you like a brawler horror game, skip if you're into actual survival horror games.    … Expand

Or replayed the old ones. First off. This game isn’t scary. Relies too heavily on Jump scares. I’f you can call them that. The combat system. Totally broken. No quick turn. Sprint is a meandering jog. Reloading takes forever. Switching weapons in mid combat does an animation that takes seconds to complete and can be interrupted. So if you run out of ammo. You’re done. Especially when surrounded by multiple enemies. And healing with an injector. Takes 5 seconds to complete. Completely useless in combat. Also releasing so slow it’s borderline idiotic. That final boss fight was the most unenjoyable broken fight of recent memory. If you have low health for the second phase. You’re done. You can try running around the exploding enemies and projectiles but he runs like an invalid. It’s ridiculous. And the story is rip off sci fi **** Worst money I have spent on a game In a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far excellent visuals on PS5, excellent sound design but that's about it. Combat is horrendous, blocking and dodging is an absolute joke. (spoiler alert) I have yet to get pass the room where you're powering something up and there's a big grinding machine and you have to fight hordes of enemies until the thing powers up.(end of spoiler alert) This is in the first quarter of the game. This section of the game really highlights how bad the combat really is. I really do not understand why the Dev team could not assign blocking and dodging to a button. You have to block or dodge by holding the left, right or back on your controller. If there's more than one enemy, forget it. If you want to use your GRP, try to block and then use your baton, the control scheme will not allow you to do this in a fluidly. I am very disappointed in this game. The control scheme is very poor for a game that relies on melee combat. Do not waste the energy or time. You have been officially forewarned.… Expand

    Utterly awful. I was toying buying the dead space remake and thought it would be nice to play something original instead. The Callisto protocol manages to rip everything from dead space and make it worse. Bland, claustrophobic (in a bad way) environments, dull repetitive architecture, awful gameplay mechanics. It’s insulting that this saw the light of day.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an awful game. Do yourself a favour and wait for Dead Space Remake to drop next month. My friend asked me what was wrong with it and I just spilled every enraged thought I had about the game, it was too painful to write it out again so please see below my thoughts on this garbage fire. The creator of this game has tried so hard to peddle this **** so hard to convince people it’s a scary game, that the gore will horrify you. It’s weak, start to finish, it’s **** weak. “Yeah… where to start bud… for starters, never played a horror game with absolutely no horror in it, other than the horrific fact that I wasted money on it. Seriously, not once was there even tension. They have these little bugs that jump out at you every so often when you open a chest, never once scared me, just **** me off because no matter how quickly you hammer triangle it will still take away health, they tend to be in chests that have 35 health, so you end up just opening a chest to replace the health that **** just sucked away. They have the poor man’s version of ‘clickers’ yet they’re so much ****ter than clickers that they offer 0 challenge, they just slow the whole game down and seem to have been added as a veiled attempt at extending the play time of the game. The combat system is genuinely **** awful. Like absolutely **** awful. The game is basically a dodge simulator. So it’s mainly a close combat game, where you use that pole thing to beat enemies but you basically have to dodge them one to three times before a window opens for you to hit them three times, rinse and repeat. The thing is, if you have more than one enemy around you, as soon as the canned animation of you killing the one guy ends, the next enemy sucker punches you, this happens because the camera is so zoomed in over your shoulder and **** slow that you can’t even see the **** coming, so don’t have time to dodge. Add to that, the fact that it introduces this mechanic where enemies can mutate to become stronger when you start to damage them. The idea is that you shoot these tentacles that sprout before it has a chance to transform, the problem is, due to the really **** **** camera, you very, very rarely get the chance to shoot the tentacles, you pretty much only get to when they’re the only enemy you’re fighting, this means that without fail, most enemies mutate which is just **** painful because it just doubles the length of each fight, doesn’t make it harder, just doubles the length of it. They use the same boss fight three times, this is again, just dodge, dodge shoot, shoot, before a window to melee attack it, problem is, reloading or changing weapon is so **** cumbersome that sometimes you get tagged by this **** and guess what… it’s one hit kill. At one point it then adds other enemies as well as this guy so trying to do it all while they can just one hit kill you. I completed the game, took me about 8 hours, yet the game just felt like it was dragging. The same boss fight three times is lazy. The same four enemy types. The same, eye rolling bugs jumping out at you. The same squeezing through tight gaps to load the next section. The ending is just a sequel bait. The death animations are also **** boring, you can’t skip them, they’re drawn out and I didn’t find them horrific as the creator of the game thought they were. The only good thing I can say is it’s a gorgeous game and the acting is really **** good. It’s awful.”… Expand

    The game lacks a cruel lack of diversity in the proposed approaches (stealth often goes out the window) as well as in the variety of enemies, bosses, ... in the end, a lack of overall diversity in most of what it offers (game mechanics, weapons, type of proposed approaches, ...).

    The difficulty... as some people have rightly pointed out, the change in difficulty is not particularly interesting. The only thing it changes is that in hard, all the mobs are very hard hitting hp bags. A higher difficulty isn't supposed to just increase the amount of lives of the mobs... it just makes things more annoying. Oh, sorry, I forgot that what already looks a bit more like a "real" hard mode (less bullets, less healing items, perma death, ...) was another game mode not included with the base game.

    The story is nice and easy to follow but it is very predictable, not very gripping and you don't really feel any attachment or interest towards the characters (at least I do).

    The death animations are just gory and, for some of them, bugged in their animation.

    The combat system is, in my opinion, problematic. The dodging system is a pain as soon as you are confronted with several enemies and the more you advance, the more the enemies are numerous. In the end, the combat phases just become boring. The weapon switch well... you don't switch weapons in combat unless you have 15 meters between you and the nearest enemy... well you can but you'll probably get hit while you're switching the ***** gun.

    I'm more or less halfway through the game and I haven't seen a single boss yet (even though I've searched pretty much everywhere). From what I understand, there is only one mini boss and one end boss.

    The atmosphere is good but it doesn't provoke any feeling of fear, uneasiness, ... it's just gory with regular jumpscares (hello **** mobs coming out of the chests) but I don't have the feeling to be in a survival-horror. This aspect is quite subjective, maybe it's just me who is not sensitive to the fear the game is supposed to provoke but I found this aspect rather disappointing.

    In short, a big disappointment for me and clearly not worth 60 euros. If you can get it for less and you like the genre, the AD and the atmosphere are nice. Other than that, skip it. The game is not worth its price and prefers to make a huge communication campaign than to release a complete and optimized game.

    The commercial policy of the game is more than questionable... hello the season pass bringing two more modes and extra death/kill animations in a 60euros game.

    I personally don't have too many bugs (except for the death animations) or optimization problems (ryzen 7 5800X and 6900XT) but, from what I hear around me, I've just been very lucky.    … Expand

    I was really hyped but it's absolut awful. The graphics are very good. It really looks good. But thats all.
    Horrible gamedesign, horrible safepoints, crouching under pipes all the time, the fight system is good but gets repatetive very fast, not enought enemy variants etc . etc. Its not worth 70€.

    Short game for 70$, shallow story writing, bad characters, they announced that the game gone gold like two months ago and still have bad optimization, laggy.
    The worst game I bought this year, it's total deserves the low Metacritic Score and I hope the director of this game resignes

    Sadly, the game Starting to get me very angry at the 3/4 of the game. Enemies are EXTREMELY tough to get rid of .Even in the beginning U need i don’t know how many hits to get rid of an enemy. Plus, they give you 4-5 other enemies to fight with , while being in a tight ass room without possibility of escape / hide . Added to this, the character CAN’T MOVE . he is very slow and heavy…Sadly, the game Starting to get me very angry at the 3/4 of the game.

    The game start off alright but is very shallow. It runs pretty bad on PC and Xbox. I forgot I preorder it on on both. Maybe I'll change my review then they patch it.

    Zu viel verschwendetes Potenzial.
    Die Kämpfe fühlen sich zu langsam und einfach nur nervig an. Keine Ahnung wie man auf so ein Kampfsystem kommen kann. Ist ein Gegner hinter dir, hat meine so gut wie keine Chance kein Treffer zu kassieren. Das ist mein größter Kritik Punkt. Es ist einfach frustrierend.
    Was die hingekriegt haben ist die Atmosphäre, schöne Grafik, tolle Lichter aber leider    Zu viel verschwendetes Potenzial.

    Sadly very disappointing and dare i say, bad game. Combat sucks, there's no horror, story? nope no story to care about, boss fights? 2 boss fights. Overall it's just bad. Keep that money for Dead Space Remake.

    Repetitive survival horror that feels like a life sentence, The Callisto Protocol is as bereft of life as the harsh conditions of the moon on which it’s set. [Issue#23, p.70]

    Callisto Protocol makes some mistakes, but in general computing the good wins by far. It is true that it is somewhat angry to see that something with so much potential has not been fully squeezed, but what it offers is already much more than most. We trust that combat system that we have loved and its setting to make the game worthwhile and we would love to see a second installment.

    A visually beautiful sci-fi experience which, surprisingly, doesn’t resort to simply cloning Dead Space. The difficulty and the fear factor both don’t reach the heights I’d expect, however. A shame! It could have been extraordinary.
