    In my opinion this game is the best horror game in 2022, the dark planet has destroyed by monsters.

    Even though it's a linear game, I enjoyed it from start to finish. Great graphics, gameplay and sound effects. I haven't played a jump scare this good in a long time... The story is also very good and makes you curious to find out more about it.

    el juego me parece muy bueno, no entiendo el motivo de criticas tan negativas a un juego que cumple con lo que esta ofreciendo, el combate me gusto, su dificulta esta muy bien y en cuanto a como se ve y se escucha es increíble.
    por otro lado no es un juego perfecto, también tiene fallas en la caída de los fps, en el doblaje (debemos de tener en cuenta que no es un juego triple A), pero el    el juego me parece muy bueno, no entiendo el motivo de criticas tan negativas a un juego que cumple con lo que esta ofreciendo, el combate me gusto, su dificulta esta muy bien y en cuanto a como se ve y se escucha es increíble.

    Do not go away for the bad reviews. If you enjoy horror, action, space atmosphere or killing huge monsters... This is your game!

    El juego salió com problemas, pero a día de hay es un juego al que hay que darle una oportunidad si te gusta el survival horror espacial.
    Va un paso más allá que Dead Space, es un planteamiento diferente y más enfocado al combate y la supervivencia a melé.

    The Callisto Protocol is a spectacle! As cinematic as it gets in gaming! I finished it on the hardest difficulty, Maximum Security. Great challenge at times.

    I am in awe. Was hesitant to buy this due to critics but i have learned over the years critics are paid for their reviews. So i cant for a **** trust them. This game has atmosphere and the looks to go with it. Top notch science fiction story line. Game starts off really clunky with the stun baton but after a while i have enough bullets that i only wip out the baton for fun.

    The scenery and sound is on a next level. This is the best graphics i have seen in a long while. We dont need open world games with tons of side quests, for a change of pace callisto hammers this perfectly with the 1 way route exploration. Its not a perfect game but its a ****ing good game with alot of time and effort put into it.

    Well done team.

    Tem uma boa atmosfera, porém a jogabilidade é pesada demais e chega a te atrapalhar em certos momentos. O jogo dá uma brecha para uma possível continuação o que me animou para me aprofundar mais sobre a lore do game.

    This game was really good. It’s a better game on a next gen console. Like the series x or ps5 it did feel a little short If it had 2 more chapters it would’ve been a great length 8 chapters felt fast. But overall the game was really good the story moved from point A to point B really well. I would love to see a second game

    Great but flawed game! Combat is satisfying but clearly designed for 1v1 encounters. Graphics and atmosphere is 10/10. A simple story that isn't much to write home about, but the cast is good. Played it through multiple times and some enemy encounters are equally frustrating every time you play it.

    I really like this game! bugs are all but gone still a few, and its crashed on me 2x. It is worthy of a sequel and I would definitely buy it. Here is my list of pros and cons.
    Cons:
    -Boss fights maybe challenging, but a little repetitive. -fetch quest mechanics are weak and can be boring -game crashes if you didn't manually save you will be playing from the last time it auto saved.

    Completed on normal, xbsx.
    At first I was worried it would try too much to be Dead Space, but I feel the game found it’s own balance and path while retaining fun elements from the Dead Space series. The game play was always smooth although sometimes with bigger groups of enemies it felt a little over whelming - but never impossible.

    I also feel the controls could be slightly different in the future, maybe so that hand to hand combat is more thrilling.

    The story was a slow burn but as it kept going I stayed interested, especially to see how characters would grow. The final boss was the worst part of the game. While not difficult it just lost its interesting factor quickly.
    It’s great to have another game in the Dead Space genre/style. I’m going to up the difficulty and give it another play through.    … Expand

    Overall, Callisto is a really good survival horror experience. If you like Dead Space, you need to try this game. The main campaign has a lot of passion put into it and I had a bunch of fun with it. The game definitely has some problems here and there, but I think true horror fans will admire it for its fantastic campaign. I really feel that this series will have just as interesting of a world as Dead Space if the series continues beyond this first installment. The story is overall good and the ending begs for DLC or a sequel. Be sure to try this game if you’re in the mood for a cinematic horror experience with a lot of intensity.

    The Callisto Protocol is an exceptional horror adventure title. It will be hard for Dead Space fans to ignore the similarities, but it should be enjoyed on its merits. With slick combat, amazing aesthetics, and an incredible plot, this needs to be played.

    This game wants to be Dead Space really, REALLY, bad, but what’s interesting about that is I haven’t even finished the first Dead Space game and I can see it. Is this a bad thing? No, it’s really not as Callisto Protocol isn’t a trash game at all, they tried some new things with the controls and stuff some of it worked but for me a lot more of it didn’t. The game’s depiction of excessive violence is fun but even it wears on to the point of feeling overboard, especially when you think why they have giant grinding machines in the open like this in the middle of a prison. The story, while predictable, was an enjoyable adventure, but as far as graphics this game looks incredible. But as most of us know by now, looks aren’t everything and so it is with Callisto Protocol.
