Watch GamingBolt Video: GamingBolt - The Callisto Protocol Review - One of the Biggest Disappointments of the Year.
I've been very critical of The Callisto Protocol in this review, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with the game. It's straightforward, brutal, and frequently fun, it looks absolutely stunning, and its atmospheric sci-fi setting is not without its merits, especially if you're a fan of something like Dead Space.
Even so, this isn't the game that so many of us wanted it to be. It's rarely scary in any real way, its design its too focused and dated, and its emphasis on melee combat brings its own cavalcade of problems, from clunky and frustrating encounters when faced with multiple enemies to the disappointing dilution of the horror aspect.
It's not a game without merits, but when viewed in the context of its potential and what it was billed as by its developer, it's hard to label The Callisto Protocol as anything but a disappointment.

IGN - The Callisto Protocol Review
Added 70 Views / 0 LikesThe Callisto Protocol reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PlayStation 5. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC. "The Callisto Protocol is a supremely atmospheric and action-heavy tour through a spectacular slaughterhouse set in distant space. Its largely linear design makes for minimal backtracking, meaning it trims the fat while leaving no shortage of bone and gristle to rip and tear. However, it also betrays its survival horror roots by regularly
