The Callisto Protocol

Everyone expecting a new and updated dead space. Whoever tells the opposite Is lying.

Good try, but something Is missing and i'll tell you what :

1- the combat system : i think an horror game should scare. How can you be scared if you Need to physically kill Monsters with a sort of Hammer(?)

1a : the dodging mechanism Is ridiculous.

2- The good thing of survival Is having limited ammo and inventory. Why i had Always full inventory here(?)

3- too Much quantity. A beautifull game Is about different challenges. How should i have fun killing the exact same Monsters, 20 times in the same room, and in the same mode???

4-too Much "splatter" but not enough fear.

And Little bugs like the italian voicover not working at all and the framerate not stabile in various scenes.

In any case, fellings are good. A beautifull storyline ( that ends too fast, but ok ) and really good Graphics, followed by brilliant audio effects and quality.

Characters Image quality Is impressive and also the places like the prison and other.

So, summarizing - too Much focus on the "wow" Graphics made a good title missing The real Heart of dead space , but It remains a good game which you'll have fun with.

But not for 70 bucks.

We don't get too many linear story oriented single player horror games these days so we have to appreciate it when we do.

The combat system is more complex than it looks. A lot of fun when you play it.

The atmosphere is great, although the game is nowhere near as scary as I thought.

Graphics are nice, sound design is top tier, it's running okay on my series x. Little frame drops here and there but nothing major.

Acting is great, pacing is also very good. Oh and the death animations are brutal.

Took me 11 hours and 54 minutes to complete the story and I enjoyed every second of it.

Things I did not enjoy too much; checkpoint system, no new game plus, and they didn't finish the story. It just ended when it got the most interesting. They will finish it in the dlc.

This is just my opinion. I definitely recommend it. Much better than most people say, so give it a go and see it for yourself. Have fun.

This game has a Story line that I'm into. I'm most of the way thorough but dang, this game is Tough. It takes a while to get the hang of. I gave this a 7 because I was hoping for more jaw dropping cinematic sequences. This game isn't very scary, but I'd call it survival horror. It really is a lot like Deadspace but not as scary. The Mechanics overall aren't that great and the action is pretty repetitive but it's hard to put the controller down. I'm a true story gamer and need to find out how this ends.

I'm not too much into recording reviews when the minimum is so much lettering and I'm done.

I anticipated the arrival of the game.. When I played I enjoyed a lot of elements in it. Combat was both visceral and fun. The graphics were amazing... Then, as the game lagged on it started to show its flaws.

Combat became more and more clunky and obviously swayed in favor of the monsters.. meaning , Jacob could not execute the moves for the buttons I was hitting..it seemed I was doing something wrong... turns out .... I wasn't . It's the game. It became beyond challenging to carry out the simplest of combat moves... normally in a game it takes you a bit and you get the hang of it but here You will find yourself fighting the controls more than the monsters.. unfortunate outcome to this otherwise pretty cool theme.

Calisto beared some similarities to dead space but is hollow compared to the meaty gameplay of the grand daddy of space horror.

It makes me think this was the lamest of the dead space crew that came over to the new game company.. the guy that works on the controls part is laughing sitting over at EA... saying " let's see your game be good without my buttery controls scheme dbags" lol

Thankfully the new dead space came out shortly after and I was able to redeem my belief that good games CAN have it all... controls...graphics... and be entertaining. Forget this one guys. It's a bargain bin game.. get dead space the remake..it'll provide you with countless hours of horror fun and you won't have to fight the controls to be successful. 60 bucks wasted.

Boring enemies, sketchy combat controls and all round average game!

Every fight feels the same and I just find myself trying to get through the game as quickly as possible. Not worth the money paid.

At least give us a variation of combat scenarios, it feels like every enemy I kill is the exact same. The combat and dodging controls are awful and sometimes I find myself questioning the continuity of it all. The atmosphere is good and I can tell it's made by the same guys who did Dead Space but other than that there is not much to it. The scare factor is lacking and the storyline is pretty awful, I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone looking for an in-depth journey into a far away planet haha.
