The Callisto Protocol

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.

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 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.

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.
