DS: “Instead of elevating the experience, this final chapter caused me to question my previous favorable stance on the game as a whole.”

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
I was a huge fan of Dead Space, but this game never lived up to those standards for me.
The graphics were stellar, but the mechanics amounted to a trial and error cycle from checkpoint to checkpoint.
I watched the dev diaries, and expected a polished experience from moment to moment.
Instead, I felt like several checkpoints were never reviewed by a director.
I hope they get a chance to try again, because they definitely crafted a few gems throughout.
I'm actually really looking forward to playing this, just don't have the money for it right now.... I've been waiting on a sizable price drop, but I'm gonna get there. NOT playing the Dead Space remake though, if I wanna play those, I'll play them as they were intended on an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3
