    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Callisto Protocol delivers exactly what it was marketed as, which wasn't much but I still had fun. I finished the game at just under 7 hours which is about the usual length other survival horror games take to run through and it delivers on fun combat, great atmosphere, and stunning visuals. The story is safe, but I found myself invested enough to want to see it through and find out what was happening at Black Iron. The characters and performances were great, although I would've liked a bit more of Sam Witwer's character as he feels underutilized here. My biggest "flaw" with the game would be that it is not scary, like at all. I would describe it as more of a thriller where the only attempts at trying to establish that fear factor are through expected jump scares and great sound design/atmosphere that works to build tension, but at a certain point you feel powerful enough with Jacob's arsenal that there's no real threat that you won't be able to overcome. I personally enjoyed that feeling though, being ready to conquer whatever was thrown at me next and survive. Overall, Callisto doesn't push the survival horror genre forward in any impactful way, but it's a good addition and I'm glad that it exists. I had a good time and was thoroughly entertained the whole way through. I hope the game does well despite the mixed reception as I very much enjoyed this game as a survival horror fan. Although a lack of content at launch did hurt its replay value and it was a hard sell given it's a 7 hour game being charged at $70.

    UPDATE: Dropping my score from a 7 to a 6. The story expansion, which I've forgotten the name of, is the biggest slap on the face to fans of Callisto. Going through the main story just to end up a cripple and get blown up is one of the most unsatisfying conclusions to a video game I've ever experienced.    … Expand

    Biggest problem with this game is that it tries to make the story and characters important when they’re all pretty lame. Besides that I found the game to be a solid experience. Visuals are one of the best I’ve ever seen in a game. Gameplay is solid yet repetitive at times. I enjoyed several of the segments throughout the game and it has a genuine sense of fear and tension.

    The character moves and turns too slow and feels clunky. Focussed on Melee, shooting is more for finishig the enemies. No Map, and a very very bad save system. I don't finished this game because the Bossfights aren't fun. But it has nice graphics

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

Until….you've played 2/3 of the game. It seems as if the developers suddenly thought, let's make impossible fights regardless of the difficulty. It results in exposing all the game's flaws. Save points that are not planned well, always short of credits, ammo, health, the combat that falls short with more and stronger enemies and so on. The result is mainly irritation and a bitter taste of the game in general. It is a shame since it is mostely an adventure that is fun to go through.

    In conclusion, it is a fun game with major flaws. Yet it is worth your time if you can get it with a discount.

    Pros:
    - Atmosphere - Hack and Slash
    - Graphics Cons:
    - Leveling system with credits
    - Combat is far from perfect - Difficulty end stages of the game are out of proportion - Level design is repetitive    … Expand

    Basically, a low-budget dead space, without the creativity, really difficult to master, the combat is ridiculous, and the amount of ammo, etc is nonexistent.
    Trying to run away without Auto dodging is stupid as hell, and stealth is impossible vs moving zombies.

    Final Thoughts:

    The Callisto Protocol is undoubtedly the spiritual successor to the Dead Space series, but it sadly won’t set the genre on fire in the same way. Solid if bland plots and characters are buoyed by an immersive atmosphere, and a brutally unforgiving focus on melee feels tactful and crunchy, making The Callisto Protocol a fresh IP and an incredibly visceral game (sorry).

    Review Update:

    So, after multiple replays, several increasing difficulties, and various DLC (one of which kills any potential future for the property), I felt compelled to do something I’ve never done before: change my rating and update a review…
    The Callisto Protocol has its potential, but, the more I play, the more frustrated I get. There are moments where just as I feel like I’m enjoying myself, the game reminds me that it doesn’t actually want me to play it. In fact, its biggest issue is just that, so much control is taken from the player. If you’re not shimmying through a tight space, you’re crawling through yet another vent; if the combat isn’t glitching, you’re forced into a ‘cinematic’ grab; and, until recently, if you weren’t doing any of the above, you were in an unskippable cutscene. Too much playtime consists of, well, very little actual playtime.
    In my original review, I focused on how from the atmosphere, setting, and aesthetics The Callisto Protocol is undoubtedly the spiritual successor to Dead Space, but it’s almost as if the game realises this and tries to pivot violently the other way, leaving a confused and messy horror that tries too hard to force an experience only to, sadly, avoid one entirely.

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

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!

    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. I highly suggest this title to any horror fan you won't be disappointed if you actually go in blind from the hate reviews and create your own observations and experience.

    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

    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!    … Expand

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

Although he personally did not play the original, The Callisto Protocol was interesting from the first trailer. And did not disappoint, looking ahead. Firstly, someone may think that a monotonous combat system with dodges, although it is so. And the further you go through the story, this system gets a little boring, although it is made in principle in an original way. Yes, even the whole game can be completed, almost, without firearms, using only melee weapons. But still, someone may get bored with these dodges. Second: the plot. In fact, he is not so brilliant, this has already been seen somewhere, heard, read, etc. Again, as you can guess from the trailers, prison, scientists, research, etc. But you hardly notice this flare during the passage, but you just go further and try to get out of this damn planet!

    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.

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.

    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.

    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. I wish they'd implemented VRR and 120hz support, so there would be option to stick with 40fps and some visualI've just started playing it (~3hrs) and I like the atmosphere, characters, combat system, suspense, the visuals and level-design.

I wish they'd implemented VRR and 120hz support, so there would be option to stick with 40fps and some visual quality in-between aforementioned options. Overall, I really like this game, there is a deficit of sci-fi actions in space, so this one gets a big like from me.… Expand

    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

    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.
