No Spoilers Official The Callisto Protocol Discussion [PS/PC/Xbox]

[deadshot138]

Prominent streamer just rage quit it and said it sucked.

 

[Zazen]

Damn looks like I was right, I cancelled my pre-order when I heard about reviews lifting the same day. Zero confidence they had, I'll pick it up on a deep sale.

 

[Bob Gray]

PCGamer gave it a 79% which is fairly decent. Basically says it doesn't reinvent the wheel or defy any expectations, which is a double edged sword.

Gory and moody, The Callisto Protocol doesn't mess with the survival horror formula, instead embracing all its beats and clichés to tell a grim sci-fi tale that drips with menace.

I'll probably wait for a sale. Plus Marvel Suns is out and killing it with the reviews.

 

[Nova44]

Damn the reviews are looking like garbage.

@GearSolidMetal @Zazen Sorry to whichever one of you said there were red flags and i was like "nah bro".

 

[GoldenAzazel]

From what I've seen it looks like it plays like The Evil Within which also got mixed reviews based on its combat. A lot of these reviews seem to say the combat is too hard.

Too hard? Aren’t other reviewers complaining about the lack of NG+?

The complaints seem to be a mix between

- Unplayable on PC for 99%
- Game needs NG+
- Combat feels slow and sluggish
- Enemy encounters are thoughtless and at times unfair

NG+ is being added later, part of an update.

I seen GameSpot gave it a 5 because it was too difficult. Polygon said the same as well.

I was watching a Soulsborne streamer play a bit of it to see if I should buy it. He said it's difficult in the wrong ways.

I'm more likely to trust the word of someone like that on the difficulty than a games journalist to be fair lol I remember when Spyro Reignited came out there were some low scores because of difficulty, and don't forget the infamous Cuphead tutorial.

I know but that's just one of many problems apparently, i was really excited to play it. Damn.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

I suppose NG+ wouldn't be an issue if the game wasn't like 12 hours long

 

[deadshot138]

Will we ever again get a game that lives up to the hype?

I mean I guess we just did with Ragnarok but still

I think this is about average for survival horror. Most of my RE playthroughs are 12 hours or so

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Good thing I'm still working my way through the post story content in Ragnarok and I might give Midnight Suns a try as well. I like what I've seen from the exploration out of combat and the character dialogue stuff.

 

[Dizzy]

Too many issues it seems, I’ll wait to play til later on.

That’s disappointing, looks like the Dead Space remake is my next chance for some survival horror.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

I think this is about average for survival horror. Most of my RE playthroughs are 12 hours or so

Which has like 20 extra hours of content. To charge $70 for a 12 hour game which has little to no extra content on launch is a bit of an ask imo

Yeah this is immeasurably disappointing. I really wanted this to be good.
