Though, made with hurried broad strokes, as is the increasing trend in modern game development due to rising consumer expectations, cost of development, and shortened release windows, however, the expertly crafted cinematic visuals and audio, coupled with a thought provoking story that was obviously meta of the past 3 years, particularly captivated me. Sure, the gameplay loop and enemy variety weren't as meticulously designed and innovative as DS's (more like a cross between DS and Slaughterhouse), but I found myself more gripped by the story beats, which i believe was the main focus this time around, and the gameplay, though more basic, was still sufficiently "Visceral" and fun, particularly once you've unlocked key upgrades and combos. Very pleased by this game. Only way I could've imagined possibly being disappointed is if i had paid the $70 at launch (which they could've offsetted by providing a season pass), but I was so pleased with my first playthrough, I purchased the season pass (which was on sale), and I thoroughly enjoyed the dlc, too! And, no, w/o giving away any spoilers, I do not think it undoes the story or the ending of the main story. It only adds to it. Expand

I don't get the hate this game have been getting. My only con is its length but it did not really bugged me since I didn't pay full retail price.
    I personally even thought it was slightly better than Dead Space Remake (since everyone seems to be comparing these two games). Get this game, but on a sale, it is great but short.

    I really enjoyed the game and don't really understand the negative criticism. It has great sound design, a dark and brutal story, some jumpscares and everything I wish for in a horror game. Yes, Dead Space had more variety in it. But still, I had a lot of fun with Callisto Protocol.

    Story: Solid and pretty straightforward story for a horror action game. Nothing outstanding but also nothing to hate here.
    Combat: It took me some time to figure it out, but in the end it played out pretty well for me. I kinda enjoyed that I was forced to use melee attacks.
    Atmosphere: Loved it! Very tense and immersive. I had old good Dead Space vibes.

    To summarize: Solid 8/10. It is a good game and definitely does not deserve the hate and low scores! I hope the devs will not be discouraged from doing similar projects!

    We are so tired of empty open worlds with 100+ hours of repetitive gameplay. I'd rather have solid 10-15 hours of intense experience like in The Callisto Protocol.

    sci fi survival horror game with good atmosphere and mechanics similar to dead space franchise, even the story is prety damn similar, aliens in space and some virus taking over the dead moon callisto, in a prison where previously some evil corporation made experiments with those aliens resulting a deadly virus outbreak. Alright campaign and extra modes and dlc. 9/10

    The Callisto Protocol is a bloody spectacle! I finished it on the hardest difficulty, Maximum Security. Great challenge at times. A nice combination of most of my favourite survival horror games such as The Last of Us, Resi 4, The Evil Within. My only nit-pick is that I would have liked it to be a few hours longer. 9/10

    A fun and tense foray into the horror genre!

    Honestly, the biggest issue for me was the pacing. It's a shorter game, and despite this, I found I was getting a bit bored around the midpoint.

    Honestly, the biggest issue for me was the pacing. It's a shorter game, and despite this, I found I was getting a bit bored around the midpoint. I wanted the story to pick up, to give me more clues as to the happenings of Black Iron Prison, not explore yet another creepy corridor or force me to beat yet another wave upon endless wave of monsters into a bloody pulp of tentacles and bones.

    Oh, and the melee combat... I have such a love-hate relationship with the Dodge! I hated it at first, but as the game progressed, I noticed it was a dance. Once you learn the steps, you're fine! But that learning curve is brutal!

    Regardless of the above cons, I was satisfied with the outcome. I do hope that the upcoming DLC will explore and/or explain the ending a little more.

    Josh Duhamel plays both a likeable and sympathetic Jacob. All of the acting is superb. The graphics are outstanding. The sound design is next level, so make sure you have great headphones. The scares are...not really that scary, if you're familiar with the genre. But the death animations had even me squirming!

    Side note: It's quite obvious that The Callisto Protocol is a love letter to the Alien franchise. The UJC Charon looks so much like the Nostromo! And I truly laughed out loud when the line "In space, no one can hear...your stomach growl," was said. Absolute perfection!

    I hope it gets a sequel.

    Definitely got it's flaws, but I think it was treated unfairly, it's a really fun survival horror for Resident Evil 4 fans, with gorgeous graphics, nice level design and fun gameplay, The story is cliche and not very interesting, I admit, but it's still a good experience nonetheless. Maybe after a few years it will be remembered as an underrated gem like Days Gone?

The upgrades actually feel usefull and definitely get more powerful as the game goes on rather than some other games with massive upgrade trees that rarely have any affect and is just used as a filler so to say this one actually makes a difference.

    Everything is good except that the combat gets really "messy" when there are more than one enemy at the same time. I don't know how to explain it in a good way, but the enemies kind of take turn hitting you, which just feels wrong and this also makes the game to easy when you just know how to dodge properly.

    Maybe a played this game after some of the issues were fixed, but my only real gripe is the amount of crawling and squeezing through passageways in the game. Combat is good, story is good, and the graphics are on another level. This is what a next gen game should look like.

    Gameplay is not on par with Dead Space Remake, but it's still great and Ill be coming back for the story DLC

And the Haptic Feedback and Trigger Effects on the Dualsense Controller are AMAZING!
    The thing we all have to do over and over in a video-game is what matters most. For some games it’s puzzles, for other games it’s climbing, parkour, fast gunplay, or platforming. In Callisto Protocol, it’s melee and shooting. And it has to be fun, right? Well, it is!! It’s FUN as hell!! Plus it looks STUNNING!! Wanna compare it to the Dead Space Remake? Ok; Dead Space has great shooting and cheap melee combat. The Callisto Protocol has great melee combat and good shooting. Now that i finished the game and started a New Game Plus, I revised my grade from an 8.8 to a 10! It's just as good as The Last of Us. To me it's the perfect game!

All of these things really do make the game feel like a unique experience. There are some issues however, those issues being the combat system at times can feel a little clunky but honestly was not as bad as people are making it out to be. The save system is pretty pointless as if you save the game where you want it will just take you back to your last checkpoint determined by the game. However at most I maybe lost a minute or two so it really wasn't that bad but is still something to address. The performance was good 95% of the time with the occasional frame drop in stuttering happening. I went in knowing what the reviews typically were and honestly I can see how some people may be disappointed but the super low scores seem very unfair. Are there flaws? Yes. But nothing that would make the game as bad as people are saying. I think this is a very solid foundation if another is made. The voice acting is great as well and the dialogue all works well together. There are things that can be improved for sure but overall I would definitely recommend this. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Callisto Protocol vs Dead Space

    Don‘t expect Dead Space! :-) In some Situations it looks like Dead Space but it delivers a different experience and that is great!

    The presentation (Audio/Video) is awesome and consistent. For example I really like the 3D Printers and character model design.

    Also the mix of melee and ranged combat is cool but there are some situations/enemies where it is a bit problematic. The enemies with 2 heads are just beatable with enough ammo (let me know if I‘m wrong - just havent found a way to kill it without ammo). And there could be more different enemies and the story is a bit too short.

    I really enjoyed the game so for me it is somewhere between 8 and 9.

Biggest complaint with combat is that more than 1 enemies at a time is nearly impossible at some points. The game is a great linear ride with one objective , get out. People have been spoiled with great games lately like god of war , elden ring , TLOUP1 remake. This game is very straight to the point something games now don’t really do. This could have came out on ps2 and seen as a great game. This game doesn’t have to be a masterpiece to be fun and worth a play through. Story : 7/10 Gameplay and combat : 7 /10

    I've just started playing it (~3hrs) and I like the atmosphere, characters, combat system, suspense, the visuals and level-design. There's only one downside playing on PS5 is that I have to chose between 30fps and high visuals and 60fps and mediocre visuals, which makes me sad.

    The Callisto Protocol is what i would consider a specific game with specific needs to appeal a specific group of players. In general perspective, aside all the lag and stuttering fails it had on launch day, I agree that enemy variety, lack of exploration and somewhat unconvincing story flaws the game to some extent but this is SDS first entry, a team that is relatively new to the industryThe Callisto Protocol is what i would consider a specific game with specific needs to appeal a specific group of players. In general perspective, aside all the lag and stuttering fails it had on launch day, I agree that enemy variety, lack of exploration and somewhat unconvincing story flaws the game to some extent but this is SDS first entry, a team that is relatively new to the industry led by Glen Schofield. All of these flaws was mainly because the game was rushed, it had no alpha, nor beta testing. No doubt that if hardcore gamers were able to experience this, they would immediately point out these flaws and the game turn out to be a masterpiece. Now the other thing: melee - the big fuzz everyone is talking about, how it's flawed and etc. This is where my initial comment about the game stands out: that it's for specific players who enjoy thinking outside the box. I play all the games like Resident Evil, The Last of Us, etc. on hardest possible difficulty because only then you appreciate the beauty of the game and the needs to think outside the box. I played The Callisto Protocol on Maximum Security difficulty and aside from the tedious beginning where I still was learning the controls, I had no issues of keeping a ample supply of supplies and just playing the game, the way it's meant to be played. The melee becomes tedious, yes, if you don't think outside the box. When you start to realize that you can grab enemies or even ordinary large objects to use them as a shield vs ranged enemy attacks, that you can bait the enemy near the hazard, shoot them for stun and then use heavy melee attack to bash them flying right into hazard, that you can use the ordinary objects like cans, laundry boxes, etc. to fling them at enemies to deal damage and stun them for a melee hit... it opens up the creativity level of approaching encounters. That's why I enjoyed this game so much and just can't stand the crybabies who want more shooting and less melee to be a dead space clone. Expand

    Brilliant atmosphere, combat was fun and very tense. Graphics are some of the best I've ever seen, main downside for me was the enemy variety, and a few 'janky' moments here and there with enemies. Hoping for a sequel as it has laid good ground with the story.

    I enjoyed this game a lot. It's not Dead Space, but it gave me what I wanted. A condensed, tensed linear experience. Graphics are awesome, even in performance mode. Close combat is interesting and satisfying to use. Enemies are gross. In truth the game is more disgusting than terrifying but it still works for me.

    I dislike a few things gameplaywise: healing is slow, so you can't do it

Close combat is interesting and satisfying to use. Enemies are gross. In truth the game is more disgusting than terrifying but it still works for me.

    I dislike a few things gameplaywise: healing is slow, so you can't do it during combat. This is a bit problematic because enemies strike hard and bosses can crush you in one single hit. Changing weapon is also slow and confusing, which makes it hard during encounters. But all of this has been patched since I beat the game, so keep that in mind.

    In conclusion, this is clearly Dead Space's cousin, and I think people expected a little brother. i love it for what it is. But it needed a bit more time and testing in my opinion. Were the devs pressured to release the game before the Dead Space remake? One can only assume. i sincerely hope it does not mean the end for the Callisto Protocol because the potential is there.

    I came to this game a month after release and with low expectations. I wanted to spend some time in sci-fi environment and explore eponymous Callisto. That's where the game shines as you gradually get to know the backstory of Callisto and how a terraforming enterprise came to a halt and a prison was build instead. Game sports beautiful visuals and spot-on audio. Atmosphere is pretty tenseI came to this game a month after release and with low expectations.

That's where the game shines as you gradually get to know the backstory of Callisto and how a terraforming enterprise came to a halt and a prison was build instead. Game sports beautiful visuals and spot-on audio. Atmosphere is pretty tense so I found this game difficult to put down. You constantly want to know what awaits you in the next corridor or location.

    I consider story ok although I understand why some people might be disappointed in that regard. It's a simple story but a one that makes sense. You don't get to save the world. Your task is to survive, help your (not too numerous) buddies and get the hell out of Callisto. That's more less what everyone would do in similar circumstances.

    Gameplay is subpar while combat is just comically bad. Jacob is slow and to add insult to the injury most of the time game doesn't allow you to run. The movement is clunky even in performance mode. Camera is bad. Fighting numerous enemies is impossible. Dodging doesn't work. You can't move while in combat, can't turn back and run away to bide your time and approach the encounter in different way. Instead Jacob just stands there and swings with the baton occasionally shooting mutants. If your run out of ammo it takes forever to reload and it's close to impossible to switch weapon in the heat of the action. GRP is ok but battery longevity is way too short. Overall combat sounds and looks straight bizzare. I recommend playing the game on easy difficulty to spare yourself frustration. I played it on easy and I kind of enjoyed the ride hence relatively high grade.

Gameplay is also good and overall a great experience but felt slightly repetitive at times. Story: 8/10

    Some of the best use of lighting, shadows, fog, atmosphere and immersion I have ever experienced in a video game. Textures and details are top notch. Sound: 10/10 In my opinion, the sound design of this game deserves a huge nod. It is flawless actually. The music and different beats in anticipation to new areas and enemies is outstanding and it makes the gameplay feel dangerous and exciting. The screams in the distance, clinking of pipes, howls, growls, footsteps, hissing etc… is all hyper realistic and amazing. Bravo!!

I like linear games so the linearity didn't bother me at all (and I thought there were plenty of optional areas anyway, personally). Combat was really fun, I played on Medium Security and swapped between my guns, GRP and baton regularly in each encounter and found it very satisfying, with very little of the clunkiness I'd heard about elsewhere. Plot was pretty threadbare, but the characters were likeable and engaging. It was definitely more of an action game than a horror game, which I get could be disappointing for some people, but I personally didn't mind. Plus, I think there were some really great atmosphere and tension-building sections (such as the tunnels in the Below chapter, or the Habitat area). It's definitely not a perfect game, it has some issues (underdeveloped plot, poor checkpointing, lack of boss fights/puzzles), but those issues paled in comparison to what the game got right in my opinion (amazing presentation, likeable characters, fun combat). Hope the game does well enough to get a sequel to iron out the issues. Will definitely dive back in when New Game Plus comes out in February, and am looking forward to the upcoming story DLC. Expand

    -I had some issues with the audio, but it was quickly patch.
    -Awesome graphics.
    -It's not too long, which is a good thing when you do have a life (job, wife, grownup stuff). Also, if you are into going in through the hardest, it will be less overwhelming.

    No! It is not a Dead Space truly successor, but that's ok in my opinion. It checks all the right boxes for it to be a fun game and to have a nice experience.
    I suggest you guys to play it on Maximum Security difficulty and drop the difficulty if it really gets too overwhelming.

Overall some tight areas which make keeping track of monsters behind you hard .. things attacking more than once make it hard to continue to dodge .( I am playing on the hardest difficulty by the way) so it takes a lot to kill things.. healing does take a bit of time with lengthy animation of him kneeling down which I don’t understand why would you need to kneel down to inject your neck .? But ok .. the tightness of gameplay in cramped areas has its downside making it extremely difficult to keep up with more than one enemy . Again that can be due to difficulty Which is fine and realistic in’s a sense .

    I feel at times callisto tries hard to be scary with jump scares and other things which audio to me gives off I feel I expect a lot and predict what is gonna happen at times , though even still very beautiful and audio absolutely amazing! At times Lip sync in certain cases don’t line up and turns out worse than those dubbed 1970/80s kung fu movies Even with all these gripes which are fixable and have been improved slightly it is still a decent straightforward action game with amazing visuals . I would recommend it

    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.
