The Callisto protocol or I would call it
Why didn't you DOOOOOOOOOOGGGGEEEE!!!?
The Callisto Protocol is a Survival horror game and spiritual succesor of the dead space series. You plays as the character named Jacob who was unfairly arrested and now is trying to escape the prison.
The first positive of the game is the graphics. I did enjoy the style of the game. exploring the prison and getting out into a snow covered planet was amazing. I heard the Pc version had a lot of issues at launch. I got the ps5 version so I didn't have a lot of problems but some minor pop ups of random things.
Unfortunately that's the only thing positive I can give. The gameplay is kind of hit or miss with the game wants you to use melee against the monsters. (Sadly, they didn't give the monsters a name) you'll be doing that much in the game, and you'll need to doge their attacks and attack back. It's going to take a lot of practice to see which way the monsters going to hit but it feels though i just got lucky when dodging them. You're going to need to master this for the mini bosses that one hit kills you on harder difficulty.
But my major gripe with the game is healing and reloading. When you need to heal Jacob crouches down and injects the medicine inside him (I called it heal mode) when he is doing that, he's open to all attacks which leads to unfair deaths or attacks. why couldn't it be like dead space and just press one button and your healed? And the guns take too long to reload and to change weapons. The enemies love to get close and when you're attacking them just to see your out of bullets the monster evolves and it's tearing you apart.
I'm kind of disappointed of how it turned out. I can forgive the gameplay and the weak storyline but when I saw the trailers, I thought this game would be scary and sadly it wasn't scary and left me frustrated most of the time. If they didn't compare this game to dead space, I would be a lot easier on it. wait for a price drop for this game or watch youtube playthroughs of it.
