    Really enjoyed this game just as much as the Dead Space remake, it’s not exactly what I was expecting but with it being a new ip I suppose I should have not tried to expect anything I’ve played previously! It’s engaging, challenging, panic inducing and absolutely beautiful to look at, recommended

    First of all The Callisto protocol is not as bad as people make it out to be. The game does a great job at immersing you in its environment with sounds and visuals coming together making eerie creepy vibe. The story is okay , but nothing game changing.

The game does a great job at immersing you in its environment with sounds and visuals coming together making eerie creepy vibe. The story is okay , but nothing game changing. Combat is good , the dodge mechanic is not as bad as nerds made it seem. Yes combat can be repetitive but upgrading your weapons makes it way more exciting. 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

    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.    … Expand

    Por favor no escuchen a los haters, estoy 100% seguro que NINGUNO jugó el juego, o lo jugó en pc (donde el rendimiento es pesimo desde el dia 1) Si tienen una consola PS4/5 no duden en comprarlo, la historia es increible, el sistema de combate es increible, la atmosfera de terror es simplemente impresionante, hacia mucho no jugaba un juego que realmente me haga sentir terror, los graficosPor favor no escuchen a los haters, estoy 100% seguro que NINGUNO jugó el juego, o lo jugó en pc (donde el rendimiento es pesimo desde el dia 1) Si tienen una consola PS4/5 no duden en comprarlo, la historia es increible, el sistema de combate es increible, la atmosfera de terror es simplemente impresionante, hacia mucho no jugaba un juego que realmente me haga sentir terror, los graficos son INCREIBLES, el audio es increible, la unica contra que tiene es la duración (en poco mas de 10 horas me lo he terminado en la dificultad mas dificil, quizas en normal se termine en 8) Vuelvo y repito, el juego es 10/10, le doy un 9 por la duración, fuera de eso es un juego que cualquier gamer fan de los juegos de horror merece disfrutar. No le crean nada a los haters que no han jugado nunca el juego.… Expand

    Bon on doit pas tous jouer au même jeu ... dans la ligne droite de DS, cet op spirituel est très réussi, quelques lourdeurs comme chaque jeu de cette trempe, il est beau , intéressant, bien écrit même si déjà vu...quel est le problème ?! L'ambiance est très bonne, le gameplay original pour nous bousculer dans nos habitudes... bon on aura pas de suite parcque ouin ouin

    A great horror game that every horror fan should play don’t listen to reviewers. Most of them didn’t even give this game a try or they’re not really fans of horror games, so do your self a favor try it before you start hating on this amazing game.

    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.

    Don't believe the hate. This game is excellent! Probably the most exhilarating survival horror game I've ever played. I feel bad that it's stuck in Dead Spaces shadow but it is what it is. Anyways this game is great! Give it a chance!

    It looks really cool. I really liked the melee-range combo combat. Its so good that i couldn't get enough from one playthrough.

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

    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.
