The DF tech review of The Callisto Protocol, focusing on the Xbox Series X and Series S versions of the game - they've got some issues and a wild ommission.
Derek writes: "To celebrate the holidays, The Callisto Protocol is giving away previously exclusive skins to all current and future owners starting December 21 – and we wanted to debut the news with our Xbox community."
One of these days I will get around to playing the PS Plus version I got as a monthly game in October.
Soulslikes typically bank on action-RPG familiarity while offering a signature touch, which The Callisto Protocol attempted in survival-horror roots.
History will be kind to The Callisto Protocol, as an ambitious ultra-high-budget game that was flawed but ultimately fun.
The game wasn't as bad as the backlash would lead you to believe. It just wasn't great - it had great visuals, solid world building and sound design.
I feel it was let down by the story and the somewhat inconsistent melee combat. Also marketed as if it was the next Dead Space. At least DS had some scares - there were none in this game.
I played it, I enjoyed it, I immediately sold it whilst the trade price was still high. Glad its on PSPlus now so I can finish off the trophies.
Yea, game journalists went full r*tard with this game, but now that you didn’t pay for it, it’s a game you can appreciate.
Makes sense..,
I’ll have to play it eventually. I won’t buy games that less than 10-15 hours at generally. I’ll buy a physical copy really cheap someday
Guess we know now why Sony sent 150 employees to help out lol. Hopefully the devs can iron out issues with the other versions, disappointing to see as this game had quite a bit of hype behind it, it's all fallen a little flar now that it's released.
Cue the "Strange, I'm not having any issues!" crowd.
PS5 version got great tech review, Xbox Series version needs some additional work.
He said "it's one of his favorite games of 2022"
The game is not bad it's actually pretty good but it's not great either
New IP from a new studio so it’s not too surprising that they didn’t fully make it the game we were hoping for .
Hopefully they make enough $ to improve their next game
The Witcher 1 was really rough around the edges when it came out but I enjoyed it so hopefully they can have the same trajectory minus the Cyberpunk thing.
It really makes sense now that Sony helped them at the end most likely to get it running better on PS5.
It has mixed reviews , the reason I didn’t preorder is because it’s not a long game and I want to play a lot of the long games I have in winter . I’ll get it in January or February most likely
