The Callisto Protocol

Big fan of the first two dead space games, but this isn't dead space and I didn't expect the same game.

Sure there are similarities but they didn't bother me. Visually the game is stunning and I liked the atmosphere, for me it had an Event Horizon, Alien feel to it.

Is it the scariest game ever? No. Does is it have the best story? No. But hey this is like a sci-fi B movie, you like it or you don't.

The combat worked fine for me. I did find the world a bit empty, as in the same few posters and a soda machine everywhere. This took away a little bit of the illusion.

Is it worth full price? Well that depends, for me it was but I love sci-fi horror. If you think sci-fi horror is meh then wait for a discount.

I rated this game a solid 7. I was really hoping for more space and less planet, but the whole prison planet thing is cool. The visuals are fantastic, story is good but feels rushed and predictable "oh no... not the same thing happening again and again, who'da thunk it", and gameplay is a bit chunky "character movement is slow and robotic " I can't stand the movement when crawling through vents, or squeezing through tight spaces- they take way too long- I went to the bathroom and popped a corn dog in the microwave waiting for my character to exit a tight squeeze area". Combat needs a lot of help "it's more methodical than anything", and running isn't really running... it's more like a fast paced Sunday stroll in the park with grandma taking a 5 minute rest at every park bench". It's also not as jump scary as Dead Space; I was really hoping for that. I think most of the horror aspect comes from when you need to run or get out of the way of something and it feels like you're walking in place waiting for grandma to figure out where she put her purse. Multiple times I was yelling at my character because he's too slow. I guess you just have to stay in super close quarters in combat. I'm sure the developers designed it that way though.

Overall a good game; Something was definitely missing though. More story, more content, more locations, maybe just clean up some of the game play... I don't know to be honest.

I will play the sequel if they make one.

This game is pretty fun. I like the atmosphere of it with the setting inside a prison. The actors do an awesome job playing their characters. There are a couple of issues with the game though. It feels like something is missing with it. It could have been amazing. Still, it is an entertaining horror game with plenty of blood and guts. It really goes crazy with the gore through the experience, I enjoyed that. The weapons are pretty cool. The locations in the game look good. There were a couple of areas that I really liked. The game is worth playing for horror fans. The Callisto Protocol is a solid fun ride.

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.

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.
