As a patient gamer, these re-reviews are great, as I'm much more interested in what people think when the dust has settled, rather than on release, when many folks are more concerned with getting in on the hype and grabbing a piece of that traffic pie, often at the expense of objectivity. I picked it up for 15€ used a while back and saw it for 8€ recently, so "a solid way to spend 10 hours" is music to my ears.
There are so many factors that influence a review at launch. Technical and design issues aside, you've got marketing hype, brief pre-launch review windows to rush through and finish the game, and many games ship without features and modes that can dramatically change the quality of a title. I think you raise a great point too, people's inherent desire to fit in means they often don't form their own opinion and simply repeat what others have said.
If you would have been a little bit more patient you could have gotten it for free on epic games. The graphics are absolutely preposterous and despite the early performance issues the game is insanely well optimized now.
Maybe this game isn’t for everyone, but hot damn is this game made for people like me. I played it a few months after launch when it was in a much better state and saw it improve more and more over the months that came after. It scratches the itch that other games don’t for me. I actually want a deliberately slow game focused on atmosphere and this game does it tremendously imo. I keep coming back to it just to unwind. After completing the game multiple times on new game plus and the dlc, I still play it to relax (yea it’s oddly relaxing for me). I turned off the music and dialogue and just watch jacob crawl through everything.
exactly the same with me...played it after a month i think...right around the time they released its new game plus mode ...scared sh**less throught the gameplay ...ik its a little light on the lore side but i dont mind...the ambiance...just awesome...❤ thinking about a re run after i finish stellar blades ng+
@@sneakerheadguy23 Make it a habit to check epic games once a week, they give some nice games for free sometimes. I just checked my library, I got gta 5, guardians of the galaxy, ghostrunner, the outer worlds, dying light, dishonored, death stranding, all 3 bioshock games, da inquisition, deus ex md, control, 3 borderlands games, remnant 1, hitman, rise and shadow of the tomb raider, civilization 6, ark survival, prey, evil within, all for free, it's kinda crazy 💀and I had a period when I didn't check the page, so there are probably more I could've get
This game was fantastic, UA-cam critics misunderstood the combat and rushed through the experience. It's pretty close to Dead Space and that's what us fans wanted. Games don't always need innovation like Dead Space 3.
Its nowhere close to Dead Space. Dead space has temse and fearfull moments. In calypso you are a superhuman walking up to melee with the enemies because of how strong you are compared to them. The dodging is entirely benign. As long as you hold left or right you will auto dodge any attack, the only caveat being you need to change after each dodge, no timing or skill required. Its essentially a dull walking simulator where monsters are in no way any real danger.
I was A Day 1 Callisto Protocol fan and still find it a enjoyable horror romp through a space prison bashing zeds. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and the combat is a cathartic experience i enjoy alot.. im grateful we have this scifi horror game along with Dead Space and Alien Isolation..cheers 🍻
Just completed it on Xbox through game pass. I didn't watch any reviews before. I enjoyed every second of this game and had a blast. The story is good and I personally enjoyed the combat style as it allows you to mix Melee and Guns.
This game is so underrated it deserved a lot more. It got so much unnecessary hate from people. There's an interview out there with Glenn Scofield he explains alot about what happened. Investors and the higher-ups force them to release it early because the development team wanted three or four more months to polish it because of the force launch the development team had to take out three or four enemy types some weapons and other content if they just let them cook a little bit more this game would of got alot better reviews an more sales.
Without entirely reworking the combat system the game is not gonna be in any way fun. QTE melee combat that makes you essentially imortal means enemies are as dangerous as cardboard cutouts
I'm a day 1 pre-order fan of TCP, and this game was exactly what i always wanted to have since all these years, after EA discontinued Dead Space and left me with wanting more. When i played it for the first time i got engulfed by the ambiance, and it gave me this nostalgic feeling of discovering a game similar to Dead Space, but this time with it's own singular identity! I love the gore, the animations are the cherry on top for me! After a bad day i can just revive the scares and beat on biophages senseless with my baton. The Callisto Protocol's chapter 4 Pipeslide is literally the best near death sequence in gaming, the graphics are the best for 2022 and the music is out of this world. I love the redemption arc and can't imagine the ending of the story and the fate of the characters any different than what they have done. I'm hurt people teared down this game, TCP deserved more love for what it is, this underrated game absolutely needs a sequel. Till then i'll be replaying TCP again and again, enjoying it's characters, music, story & psychologic symbolism.
i bought this game day one i loved it so much it felt like a next gen game the gameplay is so badass fighting with the wrench especially upgraded is so fun i was so hyped when the trailer for the final transmission dlc dropped i got it immediately & beat it in a couple of days people really crapped on this game way too hard
I’m on ch7 colony rn & so far this game more than exceeds my expectations. It’s so sad what influencers can do to a game just by saying a few negative things & then all the sheep follow behind🤦🏽♂️
I dunno. The more I talk to people, the more I think it's just a polarising game. The wonkey launch didn't help but people have legit grievances with the combat and other elements of its design.
Bro this comments makes no sense, its ok if u like a game but its not ok when you dont want to see its problems. This game got so much hate for a lot of reasons and imo its deserved. you can feel that the idea of how to make this game comes from the 360 era... Vents and narrow spaces every 2 minutes, scripted jumscares or sections where you have to spam a Button multiple times. This game feels old with a 2024 graphics. The Combat is ass, Great concept but poor execution, i would have liked more the game if i had no guns but a more variety on melee and the gauntlet power. Combining this wonky and cluncky Combat/camera lock w an unfair and stupid game design of the enemies makes you really hate the game. Plus the game never rewards the player besides random loot and thats makes the game like a flat line 99% of the Exploration. This is dead space from wish, nothing more nothing less.
Been playing the game the last few weeks, yes many of the complaints about the game are true but it doesn't remotely deserve the reputation it has. I have played far worse games over the years for what it is, it's a good time all things considered. Great video!
I absolutely Love this game. Im about to reach 100hrs... I dont get the bad reviews either. Its just a B space horror movie as a game and thats pretty fantastic for fans that like Event horizon or the like...
I never really thought about it as a B-grade film but it totally is. I guess the problem is that it's a AAA title with some of the best graphics in the business, so I think there's a disconnect between it being its A-grade presentation and its B-grade tone.
Also I’m playing on ps4 and it runs really well only had stutters during 2 cut scenes & 1 glitch where he was infinitely reloading. Other than that it’s runs well and looks great
@@pipinfresh it's much better than I thought it would be and far better than most made it out to be. Very immersive, graphics are gorgeous and combat is "meaty". It is repetitive, feels "old-school" and lacks enemy variety but it's still fun. I started playing the other day on gamepass for PC and haven't put it down. I'm gonna finish the story at the very least.
@@MaximumCarterI beat it on gamepass today. Definitely repetitive and frustrating at parts but love the level design and ambiance. Solid 7/10, good way to spend a Friday night indoors if there’s nothing going on
Just beat it on game pass on the sx. Absolutely amazing game with a great story, great controls and top graphics/performance. It's quite a bit like dead space, and theres nothing wrong with that.
I got this game free on epic and... Im not gonna lie, you'll have more fun playing dead space 2008. Its crazy that dead space 2008 is so much better than CP.
Thank you for making this video. Seeing so many people saying they enjoyed the game made me feel like I wasn't the only one that loved TCP. Sure it has some serious issues but it was fun and engaging for me. I was sad to learn that it did poorly sales wise and made me give up on the idea of there ever being a sequel to this game, however after reading these comments I'm now a bit more optimistic and hope that they do end up making a series out of this IP. Oh and they just announced a Hades style game set in this universe so that's cool!
For anyone interested, this is EPIC Games freebie-of-the-week (at least here in Canada) starting Thursday August 22, 2024. Just the base game, none of the DLC. But free is free, and it's CAD$80 otherwise 🤷♂
I'm playing it now on gamepass for PC... Have been for a few days. Runs and looks fantastic for me. I had heard what everyone was saying at launch and had already made up my mind... That this game was bad. I couldn't have been more wrong. It is repetitive and the enemy variety is lacking. However, the combat feels great in my opinion, the graphics are drop-dead gorgeous and the immersion is top-notch. Go ahead and give it a go... It might surprise you like it did me. Update Edit: It's now been 4 days since my last comment and I loved the game. Finished it a couple days ago. I loved timing my "slips" which then lead to interesting "combos" between my baton and guns. It felt really good! What I liked most was the immersion, atmosphere, graphics and story. It was really well done and I'd be really happy if a sequel came down the pipeline at some point. Ohhh and the sound design was fantastic!
If you've never played a Dead Space game, or start playing this game with the mindset of it not being a Dead Space game - I think you'll have a fun time. I definitely agree that it borrows a lot of elements from Dead Space and doesn't really innovate, but I, for sure, believe that the focus on melee combat would have been the natural evolution if there was a Dead Space 4. The one thing that baffles me to this day, is how just a major majority of players had a hard time with the dodging mechanic that the devs had to implement a system to make an easy mechanic even easier. Maybe it was because the dodging "tutorial" was more like an interactive cutscene?
@@goukigod I mean if holding left or right is really that confusing, they might have just taken out dodging completely and just hold a button to block.
My point exactly. Connecting this action to a stick input gives the impression that the direction of the stick input is linked to the outcome, which is untrue. The direction is arbitrary, so why not make it a button press. Putting my developer hat on, maybe the thinking was that requiring the player to remember what their last input was would make the simple task of dodging more challenging. The problem is it’s a bit like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time and some people will really struggle with the concept that sometimes to dodge left you need to move the stick right.
This is a beast of a game. Currently it's unning silky smooth for me with Vsync off and framrate uncapped (I think these options still cause stutter). Everything else is maxed including RT. I am using DLSS mod instead of FSR. I like everything about the game, especialy the combat, the weapon upgrades with the printing machine the audio and obviously the visuals are incerdible. Game is fun. I'd pay double the price of the original for a sequel.
Having him move so slowly was apparently a deliberate design choice but I think it needed some refinement. For the most part I like it but there are some obvious issue like how long it takes you to dismount ladders.
I really liked it didn't have any issues on ps5. I could see how someone buying this at launch for $80 would feel pretty sour towards it. I found it on clearance at a store for like 7 bucks and got the dlc for cheap and in that scenario i couldn't recommend this game enough
Im playing it for the first time right now (PC) and so far I’m enjoying it. There are still some optimisation issues, but those are few and far between (I’ve had one hard crash so far, one loading failure, and a few areas have had FPS drops - none during combat). It’s a solid game that I could see myself replaying again in a few months. Definitely not in the same league as Dead Space though lol (which is what the game obviously reminds you of at first glance.)
if you are a graphics nerd and have something like 4070 super or better, turning on ray tracing with other max settings makes the games slow pacing perfect because you can really just enjoy the visuals. I would say it's not something too crazy in terms of just gameplay but max graphics and story and the rest combined made it very enjoyable for me at least.
Playing now on ps plus really enjoyjng it would give it a 6.5. Combat has weight and shooting has impact. I think some human Enemeis that would Dodge, block and Parry your attacks and grapple you would make melee amazing. So far i would say combat is good. I love well made open worlds but few devs can pull it off Kingdom Come 2 and GTA6 have me hyped for their open worlds as KCD1 and RDR2 really blew me away with their open worlds. That Said i could not be more happy playing a linear game i offten replay the likes of Maxpayne3 as i love the gunplay. Sure this game is not great or amazing but its enjoyable and no were near bad. Gamers really over react with games and are like sleep when comes to games. Not every movie you watch is going to be Amazing and some just good to pass the time. I if i payed full price i would be more Critical for sure but when you play it for free it gives you different outlook.
Shame because it is graphically stunning, the atmosphere is great, if only they had designed a good melee combat system BEFORE and not trying to fix a bad design this could have been great. Still if you are a sucker for survival horror and enjoyed Dead Space you will want to play this.
The game at launch was VERY bad on PC. The hype was VERY big. Eg. a scare happens(new effect) and your PC freezes for half a second to the shader cache......killing enjoyment and resulting in bad reviews. Digital foundry basically said to stay away until it is fixed. First impressions likely killed at least a million sales. Consoles also had issues. I think PS4 still has 24fps cutscenes...... The game did not have NG+ at launch. (DS1 from 2008 had NG+ at launch)......(why launch a game) Many people hated that death animations were behind a paid wall EVEN before the games' release. It is very greedy and some boycotted game........ But IMO the biggest problem is only 1 melee weapon. Should have more variety in a melee-focused game. Could have had 1-2 more inventory space or the ability to store stuff. Weapon balance is bad. Eg. a Tactical pistol is UP and more ammo type floods you're already very limited inventory. No way to store your weapon. So too many ammo types means you can not loot....... Weapons are kinda bland nothing creative. Look at Dead Space weapons, their combos even the 2008 version way superior. Enemy variety is very low and not much difference. 1 sub boss which got reused 4 times. At launch sub-boss 1 hit kills you on ANY difficulty ganks were common and dodge was much worse so you often got clipped from behind. Current version 3 hits on easy,2 on medium 1 hit on hard much easier gameplay. The early version had like 10 locker QTE parasite enemy types. The current version likely has 2......or so. Likely due to PS4's weak hardware too many vents are used as hidden loading screens....Way too much time spent in vents...many rightfully complained. DS2 from PS3 had better area transitions and "hidden loading screens" and ran well with no real loading screen......PS3 had 512MB RAM......no excuse. At launch, many ppl complained that you get the gloves and YOU are in control of your enemies and much of the scare factor goes away. Dead space kinesis was much more balanced. The final ending was again locked behind a paid wall.......many did not like that. Again DS remake came out slightly after Callisto and it has a much better enemy variety, and gameplay with much different AI. So it got overshadowed fast by a game remade from 2008. That said game is not bad you can get the PC version for 5 euros from third-party sites..... The game is likely a 7-8 so an okay game. Players were expecting a 9-9.5 on launch.
I got this on the Series X for $20. It's okay, but it has a lot of performance issues and the image quality is pretty bad. I didn't like that it was a pain to earn credits, to buy bullets. It didn't help that I ran through a tough area, where I had to burn through my meds gun, to survive. I get to the next level, with my health bar at 80$ and I run into cheap attacks from the head creatures. I didn't have enough credits to buy bullets, before entering that ship either. I might play this on PC, since I have Game Pass. Dead Space on PS5 is just a better game.
I found this game really good, its a Good interesting story, and the graphics are amazing tbh, Yeah a bit of a glitch sometimes but not crazy … I give it a 9/out of 10
Another point is gamers ask for new IPs. And then when a developer does gamers hate on it and don't buy it. so we get more live service games. Like I get it want everyone's cup of tea, but everyone dogpiled on this game with nothing original to say.
I'm on the last chapter of the RE4 remake and while there's a lot I like about it, I found the first half pretty boring. The king for me is still the RE2 remake but the Dead Space remake comes really damn close.
Hello friend I have a problem with my Asrto 50 headset. The power button lights up red and orange when I charge it, it repeats itself and does not turn on.😢😢
You know a lot of games are kind of mediocre, like every aspect will be mediocre Callisto Protocol is the other thing - a game that's insanely excellent and insanely terrible depending on which aspect of it you're looking at.
I played it on GamePass and although I don’t regret it, I don’t see myself coming back for a second play through. Dead Space on the other hand continues to age like fine wine.
It’s such a shame that Callisto Protocol turned out to be a dumpster fire. I was really excited to see a cool Dead Space spiritual successor. So glad I didn’t buy the thing, and highly doubt I will (I’ll get into how my ideal version of the game is a radically different game). There’s this really interesting 40 minute video talking about the various connections between Callisto and PUBG (or if you’d rather read there’s this Reddit thread that goes into the connections between the two. I also watch almost everything at 1.5-2x speed, so videos are faster for me. I’ll also tend to have them play in the background while doing something else). Just like everyone else I didn’t know PUBG even had lore, was confused when they announced the game was set in the same world, and was glad when they announced the two would be separated. Interestingly, the story would’ve been much better if they kept the two in the same world. PUBG’s setting has a ruined world where the climate is awful, and there’s resources scarcity where the rich live in luxurious enclaves and oat of the population live in slums (reminds me of Black Ops 4’s scrapped campaign). The only form of upward mobility is to fight in the Battlegrounds that are run by this organization called The Circle that do this to see why some live, while others die. The winner will be labeled “Vir Solitarius”, meaning “solitary male” or “lone survivor” (what The Circle calls Jacob). In it contestants will be given a blue chip at the base of their neck that shows their vitals, tracks them, and extends their lives (huh, sure sounds familiar). Part of their plan in Callisto was to use the prison for a controlled outbreak so an Alpha Biophage who retains their free will can form. When you get the the councils of holograms that one guy will chastise Jacob “for doing whatever it takes to survive”, which doesn’t really work since he’s just been killing zombies and robots the whole time. Based on all of this we can assume that early on they wanted the game to be a brawler where you’d fight your way through other people in a battle royal type situation, while also dealing with the growing number of mutants. Something else that’s interesting is the name of Jacob’s ship is the same as some ferryman from mythology who carries souls to the afterlife. This implies that he would’ve been shipping human cargo to Black Iron Prison, and that would’ve done a good job of explaining why his partner was apprehensive about taking this last job and why the Warden detained Daniel/Jacob having detected no other life signs in the cargo (test subjects). They could’ve revealed this by having there be burned bodies inside hidden compartments in the ship’s cargo. This would’ve been better than having the game treat him like a bad guy for self defense against mindless zombies and transporting something he reasonably wouldn’t have know what it was. By that point any anomalies would be either ignored, or they’d be part of the job. If both of those were kept in the game the moral ambiguity would’ve actually worked, and Jacob suffering a BRUTAL death after staying behind so Dani could escape would’ve felt earned. The game would’ve been far better if they had human enemies in it. I know people weren’t fans of human enemies in DS3, but I’d argue that has more to do with the fact that they were done poorly rather than being bad in concept. Someone on another Callisto Protocol review showed some interviews where Glenn was saying that to make the mutants scary the team tried to make them uncanny and humanoid. The guy on the video said that the reason why humans are scary is because we’re unpredictable and intelligent. He then mentioned Condemned Criminal Origins as a great example of a horror game with human enemies that are scary because they’re unsettling, and smart. That’s what they should’ve done with the other prisoners. For human guards there’s two options. The first is to give them the batons, and when fighting them it’s like a dual where you’ll have to block and parry their attacks. The second type would be guards who have guns, and just like the robot’s guns they’re LETHAL (the inverse is true for them and the other humans. You’d be able to cut them down with ease, but you’d want to save your ammo for the zombies. Those guys should’ve played like the Necromorphs where melee is a last resort you DON’T want to do). All of these would make it so you’d want to use stealth, flanking, and what weapon you’ll use (adding more melee weapons would work for something like this). The contrast would add some much needed enemy variety to the game (not going to delve into what they could’ve done with parasites that can mutate their hosts on the fly because it takes 5 seconds of thought to come up with all manor of crazy forms they could’ve taken that would radically alter how you’d deal with them. If they didn’t want to make anything new there’s a LONG list of other space zombies they could’ve copied. I also won’t touch on horror since so many other people have talked about it already). It’s such a shame what we got was mediocre at best. From what I’ve heard the reason the game’s so linear and has so many vents you crawl through isn’t to hide loading screens. They were so rushed that they didn’t have any time to connect the different level spaces in a way that made logical sense. If the game had combat arenas with plenty of cover/flanking routes, branching paths that lead to the same goal, secrets hidden out of the way, and other stuff like that the thing could’ve had a lot of replayability. I heard that the team was cut down and won’t be given any major games to work on in the future. Hopefully, they can make something good in the future and won’t just become a support studio. Also, a big chunk of why the game got savaged is because it was advertised as the spiritual sequel/successor to Dead Space by people who worked on the original. The marketing give people really crazy expectations.
Just don't expect it to beat Dead Space and you won't be disappointed. It is a lesser game than the other games that inspired it but then again so was Dead Space which was a tribryd of Mass Effect, Doom 3 and Resident Evil 4. This is just Dead Space and Last of US combined. If you want that for 10 hours then you're good.
Okayish game, the combat in this game is sometimes hit or miss and easy to master, you just need to remember the pattern on when enemy is attacking, then you can counterattack and repeat, as for the story is average. just like every other horror games out there and can easily predicted, the storytelling is straightforward, i think the developer need to focus on the combat more like, why not more focused on the melee combat only? because gun in this game is a little bit suck to be honest, and you get 5 weapon 2 of them is pistol and 2 of them is shotgun and that's repetitive but the games still enjoyable
Alll you had to do was use the guns effectively during fighting and it really wasn’t that bad. It’s kinda like dark souls you just had to learn how to dance
I don't fully understand the criticisms either. The baton becomes increasingly more interesting as you level it up and I never got tired of connecting a heavy attack and launching an enemy into an environmental hazard.
playing right now and im at the sewer area and after having to backtrack and go through 4 crawling sequences i just alt-f4. i cant do it man. i dont have all the time in the world to play games like i used to. it feels like a tedious padded waste of time.
@@goukigod finished it today. it's an okay game. not bad at all. but held back by poor level design and a very weird combat system which must have been put in for some possible mobile port easy play. platform porting decisions seem to have hurt this game's design and performance.
It’s such a shame, I thoroughly enjoyed the game (even though it definitely wasn’t without its massive flaws). I had a lot of fun with it and was even hype for a second one to come out, but I’d want them to polish it up a bit before considering making another one. It has potential, but it def went in the wrong directions here. And the DLC was the final nail in the coffin because if I didn’t understand why people got angry before, I definitely do now lol. Fantastic video, bro. Loved every bit of your analysis. Hope your channel keeps growing.
its free its seems shity videogames at launch get to be free most of the time or at a huuuuuuggeeeeee discount on steam i prefer the discount but i will always choose free
I dunno about a clone but it's obvious that it was created by many of the same people who worked on the Dead Space games. It does feel like a spiritual sequel or spinoff though.
I just tried it today and it is truly awful. The combat system is so tedious. Dodge dodge, hit, hit, dodge, hit...repeat 10 more times. It's like a bad movie scene where one baddie fights the hero at a time while the rest wait their turn. The problem is once you start a fight, you are locked into one enemy until they're dead before you can fight the next guy. You're not free to maneuver around the room, or look at anyone else for that matter. On occasion, you get hit in the back and you can't even turn around to retaliate. This is nothing more than a tech demo to show off some graphics.
If you're mid attack then no, but you can stop and turn to face someone else. That said, the combat wont be to everyones taste. The developers made a deliberate choice to make it feel slow and stuck to that philosophy throughout the many updates. While it has flaws, I still love how weighty and satisfying it feels to connect a heavy blow.
Will never bother with this game, but it's fun to watch it from afar. Fundamentally the game cannot be fixed nor saved. The bones are broken. I have played a few hours sitting on my friends couch. It is just a bad game. Riddled with slow walking, tight pass squeezing, and nonsensically designed combat - the flaws are too deep to fill in and smooth over.
That’s so not true everything you said sounds like something a person who went into it thinking these bad things from what u heard & only playing it for prolly 1hr at da most I bet. What game doesn’t start off a little slow so you can kno wtf is going on & the mechanics? Plus I’d say the game starts of pretty quick & it gets even better as you progress
would be a great game but. clunky combat and character/camera freeze after gettign off ladder/crawling through tunnels, all those pointles narrow passages and tunnels just gets on my nerves.. why? why are they even there? is it supposed to be fun? spinning blades in the middle of the room dont make any sense either. Also a cutscene where you fall from some 200m tower and catch a pipe to save yourself made me laugh out loud.
The common belief is that the vent and narrow passages hide loading, which was particularly necessary for the game to run on last gen. Yeah, there's a certain level of disbelief you need to suspend, although I'd argue not any more than Dead Space 2.
i bought this game day one i loved it so much it felt like a next gen game the gameplay is so badass fighting with the wrench especially upgraded is so fun i was so hyped when the trailer for the final transmission dlc dropped i got it immediately & beat it in a couple of days people really crapped on this game way too hard
As a patient gamer, these re-reviews are great, as I'm much more interested in what people think when the dust has settled, rather than on release, when many folks are more concerned with getting in on the hype and grabbing a piece of that traffic pie, often at the expense of objectivity. I picked it up for 15€ used a while back and saw it for 8€ recently, so "a solid way to spend 10 hours" is music to my ears.
There are so many factors that influence a review at launch. Technical and design issues aside, you've got marketing hype, brief pre-launch review windows to rush through and finish the game, and many games ship without features and modes that can dramatically change the quality of a title. I think you raise a great point too, people's inherent desire to fit in means they often don't form their own opinion and simply repeat what others have said.
I bought it a few months after release for around €40 with the season pass, I have over 60 hours in the game, love it.
It's in xbox gamepass now
I'm enjoying it more than dead space
If you would have been a little bit more patient you could have gotten it for free on epic games.
The graphics are absolutely preposterous and despite the early performance issues the game is insanely well optimized now.
Maybe this game isn’t for everyone, but hot damn is this game made for people like me. I played it a few months after launch when it was in a much better state and saw it improve more and more over the months that came after. It scratches the itch that other games don’t for me. I actually want a deliberately slow game focused on atmosphere and this game does it tremendously imo. I keep coming back to it just to unwind. After completing the game multiple times on new game plus and the dlc, I still play it to relax (yea it’s oddly relaxing for me). I turned off the music and dialogue and just watch jacob crawl through everything.
Agreed I absolutely love the Callisto Protocol. If I wanna kick back and chill I'll just play CP for the 10th time lol
exactly the same with me...played it after a month i think...right around the time they released its new game plus mode ...scared sh**less throught the gameplay ...ik its a little light on the lore side but i dont mind...the ambiance...just awesome...❤ thinking about a re run after i finish stellar blades ng+

The dodging is entirely benign. As long as you hold left or right you will auto dodge any attack, the only caveat being you need to change after each dodge, no timing or skill required.
Its essentially a dull walking simulator where monsters are in no way any real danger.
I was A Day 1 Callisto Protocol fan and still find it a enjoyable horror romp through a space prison bashing zeds. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and the combat is a cathartic experience i enjoy alot.. im grateful we have this scifi horror game along with Dead Space and Alien Isolation..cheers 🍻
Just completed it on Xbox through game pass. I didn't watch any reviews before.
I enjoyed every second of this game and had a blast. The story is good and I personally enjoyed the combat style as it allows you to mix Melee and Guns.
Same, completed it today and it was such an awesome game. I really don't get the hate it got, it was supposed to be a spiritual succesor not a sequel.
Same, I really liked it despite some quite annoying bits it was good. Though the dlc I heard was bad because of the ending.
This is the only game I beat three times. I love it so much.
This game is so underrated it deserved a lot more. It got so much unnecessary hate from people. There's an interview out there with Glenn Scofield he explains alot about what happened. Investors and the higher-ups force them to release it early because the development team wanted three or four more months to polish it because of the force launch the development team had to take out three or four enemy types some weapons and other content if they just let them cook a little bit more this game would of got alot better reviews an more sales.
Without entirely reworking the combat system the game is not gonna be in any way fun. QTE melee combat that makes you essentially imortal means enemies are as dangerous as cardboard cutouts
I'm a day 1 pre-order fan of TCP, and this game was exactly what i always wanted to have since all these years, after EA discontinued Dead Space and left me with wanting more. When i played it for the first time i got engulfed by the ambiance, and it gave me this nostalgic feeling of discovering a game similar to Dead Space, but this time with it's own singular identity! I love the gore, the animations are the cherry on top for me! After a bad day i can just revive the scares and beat on biophages senseless with my baton.
The Callisto Protocol's chapter 4 Pipeslide is literally the best near death sequence in gaming, the graphics are the best for 2022 and the music is out of this world. I love the redemption arc and can't imagine the ending of the story and the fate of the characters any different than what they have done.
I'm hurt people teared down this game, TCP deserved more love for what it is, this underrated game absolutely needs a sequel. Till then i'll be replaying TCP again and again, enjoying it's characters, music, story & psychologic symbolism.
i bought this game day one i loved it so much it felt like a next gen game the gameplay is so badass fighting with the wrench especially upgraded is so fun i was so hyped when the trailer for the final transmission dlc dropped i got it immediately & beat it in a couple of days people really crapped on this game way too hard
I’m on ch7 colony rn & so far this game more than exceeds my expectations. It’s so sad what influencers can do to a game just by saying a few negative things & then all the sheep follow behind🤦🏽♂️
I dunno. The more I talk to people, the more I think it's just a polarising game. The wonkey launch didn't help but people have legit grievances with the combat and other elements of its design.
Bro this comments makes no sense, its ok if u like a game but its not ok when you dont want to see its problems.
This game got so much hate for a lot of reasons and imo its deserved.
you can feel that the idea of how to make this game comes from the 360 era... Vents and narrow spaces every 2 minutes, scripted jumscares or sections where you have to spam a Button multiple times. This game feels old with a 2024 graphics.
The Combat is ass, Great concept but poor execution, i would have liked more the game if i had no guns but a more variety on melee and the gauntlet power.
Combining this wonky and cluncky Combat/camera lock w an unfair and stupid game design of the enemies makes you really hate the game.
Plus the game never rewards the player besides random loot and thats makes the game like a flat line 99% of the Exploration.
This is dead space from wish, nothing more nothing less.
Been playing the game the last few weeks, yes many of the complaints about the game are true but it doesn't remotely deserve the reputation it has. I have played far worse games over the years for what it is, it's a good time all things considered. Great video!
100% agree. Best game ever? No. Worst game ever? Not even close!
@@goukigod You know it.
I absolutely Love this game. Im about to reach 100hrs... I dont get the bad reviews either. Its just a B space horror movie as a game and thats pretty fantastic for fans that like Event horizon or the like...
I never really thought about it as a B-grade film but it totally is. I guess the problem is that it's a AAA title with some of the best graphics in the business, so I think there's a disconnect between it being its A-grade presentation and its B-grade tone.
The game is good. I genuinely have no idea what people are bitching about.
I couldn't agree with you more.
You've convinced me to actually play this now that I got it free off EGS. Fantastic review, subscribed.
Also I’m playing on ps4 and it runs really well only had stutters during 2 cut scenes & 1 glitch where he was infinitely reloading. Other than that it’s runs well and looks great
Thanks for the update. It's pretty hard to find current info on last-gen performance.
Just got it for free in Epic Store. After watching Alien Remulus i feel in the mood to try this sort of game. Great review
I think it's a great fit tonally with Romulus
MASTERPIECE
just got it for free on epic today... so I am all in for the experience... great review and thanks for the hard work
It just dropped on game pass. I came to this review to see if it's worth playing. I think I'll give it a shot. Cheers.
I was wondering why the views on this video suddenly increased.
@@goukigod I skipped the game when it came out because of the bad reviews, but now it's on game pass it's worth a try, I guess haha.
@@pipinfresh it's much better than I thought it would be and far better than most made it out to be. Very immersive, graphics are gorgeous and combat is "meaty". It is repetitive, feels "old-school" and lacks enemy variety but it's still fun.
I started playing the other day on gamepass for PC and haven't put it down. I'm gonna finish the story at the very least.
@@MaximumCarterI beat it on gamepass today. Definitely repetitive and frustrating at parts but love the level design and ambiance. Solid 7/10, good way to spend a Friday night indoors if there’s nothing going on
Just beat it on game pass on the sx. Absolutely amazing game with a great story, great controls and top graphics/performance. It's quite a bit like dead space, and theres nothing wrong with that.
Agreed. It allowed me imagine it was part of the same universe.
Tried it on my series S. Surprised it ran pretty good. I was satisfied with the experience. Wasn’t greater than sliced bread, but it did the job
I got this game free on epic and... Im not gonna lie, you'll have more fun playing dead space 2008. Its crazy that dead space 2008 is so much better than CP.
Just bought it. Looking forward to getting to eventually.
unlucky if you got it pc
Thank you for making this video. Seeing so many people saying they enjoyed the game made me feel like I wasn't the only one that loved TCP. Sure it has some serious issues but it was fun and engaging for me. I was sad to learn that it did poorly sales wise and made me give up on the idea of there ever being a sequel to this game, however after reading these comments I'm now a bit more optimistic and hope that they do end up making a series out of this IP.
Oh and they just announced a Hades style game set in this universe so that's cool!
I'm glad that the comments has become a place to celebrate it and I love hearing other people's positive experiences.
For anyone interested, this is EPIC Games freebie-of-the-week (at least here in Canada) starting Thursday August 22, 2024.
Just the base game, none of the DLC. But free is free, and it's CAD$80 otherwise 🤷♂
Just came out on game pass yesterday and was wondering if the pass is worth it especially on sale
exactly why I'm here
I'm playing it now on gamepass for PC... Have been for a few days. Runs and looks fantastic for me. I had heard what everyone was saying at launch and had already made up my mind... That this game was bad.
I couldn't have been more wrong. It is repetitive and the enemy variety is lacking. However, the combat feels great in my opinion, the graphics are drop-dead gorgeous and the immersion is top-notch.
Go ahead and give it a go... It might surprise you like it did me.
Update Edit: It's now been 4 days since my last comment and I loved the game. Finished it a couple days ago. I loved timing my "slips" which then lead to interesting "combos" between my baton and guns. It felt really good! What I liked most was the immersion, atmosphere, graphics and story. It was really well done and I'd be really happy if a sequel came down the pipeline at some point. Ohhh and the sound design was fantastic!
I think it's worth trying at least. It wont land for everyone but it's not a right-off.
@@goukigod I love riot mode 🖤
I'm really enjoying it right now. Reminds me of Chronicles of Riddick and is definitely one of the best looking games I've ever played
I really love this game.
It's on game pass and I love it
If you've never played a Dead Space game, or start playing this game with the mindset of it not being a Dead Space game - I think you'll have a fun time. I definitely agree that it borrows a lot of elements from Dead Space and doesn't really innovate, but I, for sure, believe that the focus on melee combat would have been the natural evolution if there was a Dead Space 4.
The one thing that baffles me to this day, is how just a major majority of players had a hard time with the dodging mechanic that the devs had to implement a system to make an easy mechanic even easier. Maybe it was because the dodging "tutorial" was more like an interactive cutscene?
I think the dodge mechanic's input are just confusing for a lot of people. It should have just been a button press rather than a stick movement.
@@goukigod I mean if holding left or right is really that confusing, they might have just taken out dodging completely and just hold a button to block.
My point exactly. Connecting this action to a stick input gives the impression that the direction of the stick input is linked to the outcome, which is untrue. The direction is arbitrary, so why not make it a button press.
Putting my developer hat on, maybe the thinking was that requiring the player to remember what their last input was would make the simple task of dodging more challenging. The problem is it’s a bit like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time and some people will really struggle with the concept that sometimes to dodge left you need to move the stick right.
This is a beast of a game. Currently it's unning silky smooth for me with Vsync off and framrate uncapped (I think these options still cause stutter). Everything else is maxed including RT. I am using DLSS mod instead of FSR. I like everything about the game, especialy the combat, the weapon upgrades with the printing machine the audio and obviously the visuals are incerdible. Game is fun. I'd pay double the price of the original for a sequel.
It’s on 17$ USD now in PS5 Store
8:12 haha true and jacob is a delivery guy why the badass movement, i`v noticed his weird movement from the start even before the ship blown up
Having him move so slowly was apparently a deliberate design choice but I think it needed some refinement. For the most part I like it but there are some obvious issue like how long it takes you to dismount ladders.
I really liked it didn't have any issues on ps5. I could see how someone buying this at launch for $80 would feel pretty sour towards it. I found it on clearance at a store for like 7 bucks and got the dlc for cheap and in that scenario i couldn't recommend this game enough
Im playing it for the first time right now (PC) and so far I’m enjoying it.
There are still some optimisation issues, but those are few and far between (I’ve had one hard crash so far, one loading failure, and a few areas have had FPS drops - none during combat).
It’s a solid game that I could see myself replaying again in a few months. Definitely not in the same league as Dead Space though lol (which is what the game obviously reminds you of at first glance.)
Great game 🔥🔥
Thanks for the video, game pass release is what got me looking.
14:42
Process to Explain every trope used in every "horror" survival game.
I mean it’s a decent game and can be found pretty cheap if not free at times. Better than any movie these days
if you are a graphics nerd and have something like 4070 super or better, turning on ray tracing with other max settings makes the games slow pacing perfect because you can really just enjoy the visuals. I would say it's not something too crazy in terms of just gameplay but max graphics and story and the rest combined made it very enjoyable for me at least.
Great video mate. Cheers
Playing now on ps plus really enjoyjng it would give it a 6.5. Combat has weight and shooting has impact. I think some human Enemeis that would Dodge, block and Parry your attacks and grapple you would make melee amazing. So far i would say combat is good. I love well made open worlds but few devs can pull it off Kingdom Come 2 and GTA6 have me hyped for their open worlds as KCD1 and RDR2 really blew me away with their open worlds. That Said i could not be more happy playing a linear game i offten replay the likes of Maxpayne3 as i love the gunplay. Sure this game is not great or amazing but its enjoyable and no were near bad. Gamers really over react with games and are like sleep when comes to games.
Not every movie you watch is going to be Amazing and some just good to pass the time. I if i payed full price i would be more Critical for sure but when you play it for free it gives you different outlook.
Personally. I loved this game
GREAT
Shame because it is graphically stunning, the atmosphere is great, if only they had designed a good melee combat system BEFORE and not trying to fix a bad design this could have been great. Still if you are a sucker for survival horror and enjoyed Dead Space you will want to play this.
the game is top, just finished playing, with RTX and high settings only
played on laptop with 4060rtx 140W
I got this game for $6.
I should get my money's worth, at least for one playthru.
I remember playing it on launch on PS5 and it was a bit of a shlep to get through. I might try it again.
Grabbed it for $15 today. Waiting is best
Haha . . Reminds me of Resident Evil 4 Remake ,
Callisto Protocol is my old game from 2023 (Final update patches)
Great review !
Thank you! Cheers!
The game at launch was VERY bad on PC. The hype was VERY big.
Eg. a scare happens(new effect) and your PC freezes for half a second to the shader cache......killing enjoyment and resulting in bad reviews.
Digital foundry basically said to stay away until it is fixed.
First impressions likely killed at least a million sales.
Consoles also had issues. I think PS4 still has 24fps cutscenes......
The game did not have NG+ at launch. (DS1 from 2008 had NG+ at launch)......(why launch a game)
Many people hated that death animations were behind a paid wall EVEN before the games' release.
It is very greedy and some boycotted game........
But IMO the biggest problem is only 1 melee weapon.
Should have more variety in a melee-focused game.
Could have had 1-2 more inventory space or the ability to store stuff.
Weapon balance is bad. Eg. a Tactical pistol is UP and more ammo type floods you're already very limited inventory.
No way to store your weapon. So too many ammo types means you can not loot.......
Weapons are kinda bland nothing creative.
Look at Dead Space weapons, their combos even the 2008 version way superior.
Enemy variety is very low and not much difference.
1 sub boss which got reused 4 times.
At launch sub-boss 1 hit kills you on ANY difficulty ganks were common and dodge was much worse so you often got clipped from behind.
Current version 3 hits on easy,2 on medium 1 hit on hard much easier gameplay.
The early version had like 10 locker QTE parasite enemy types.
The current version likely has 2......or so.
Likely due to PS4's weak hardware too many vents are used as hidden loading screens....Way too much time spent in vents...many rightfully complained.
DS2 from PS3 had better area transitions and "hidden loading screens" and ran well with no real loading screen......PS3 had 512MB RAM......no excuse.
At launch, many ppl complained that you get the gloves and YOU are in control of your enemies and much of the scare factor goes away.
Dead space kinesis was much more balanced.
The final ending was again locked behind a paid wall.......many did not like that.
Again DS remake came out slightly after Callisto and it has a much better enemy variety, and gameplay with much different AI.
So it got overshadowed fast by a game remade from 2008.
That said game is not bad you can get the PC version for 5 euros from third-party sites.....
The game is likely a 7-8 so an okay game.
Players were expecting a 9-9.5 on launch.
I got this on the Series X for $20. It's okay, but it has a lot of performance issues and the image quality is pretty bad. I didn't like that it was a pain to earn credits, to buy bullets. It didn't help that I ran through a tough area, where I had to burn through my meds gun, to survive. I get to the next level, with my health bar at 80$ and I run into cheap attacks from the head creatures. I didn't have enough credits to buy bullets, before entering that ship either. I might play this on PC, since I have Game Pass. Dead Space on PS5 is just a better game.
Currently free on Epic store!
I found this game really good, its a Good interesting story, and the graphics are amazing tbh, Yeah a bit of a glitch sometimes but not crazy … I give it a 9/out of 10
Another point is gamers ask for new IPs. And then when a developer does gamers hate on it and don't buy it. so we get more live service games. Like I get it want everyone's cup of tea, but everyone dogpiled on this game with nothing original to say.
Because it sucks
Recently played it on ps5 and damn really liked it.
After it I played Dead Space Remake then Resident Evil 4 Remake.
I'm on the last chapter of the RE4 remake and while there's a lot I like about it, I found the first half pretty boring. The king for me is still the RE2 remake but the Dead Space remake comes really damn close.
I love this game it's a. Masterpiece
have the 8GB vram issues been fixed on the pc version?
Hello friend I have a problem with my Asrto 50 headset. The power button lights up red and orange when I charge it, it repeats itself and does not turn on.😢😢
I would recommend troubleshooting it with the tips in this video ua-cam.com/video/NjdHxK8SomE/v-deo.html
I may not support having to buy the “true ending “ as dlc but I just finished playing the dead space remake and need more space horror so
That was a shitty thing for them to do for sure. Hope you enjoy!
I have not agreed with a review this much in a while
People need to stop sleeping on this game. It’s a fun, spooky one.
You know a lot of games are kind of mediocre, like every aspect will be mediocre
Callisto Protocol is the other thing - a game that's insanely excellent and insanely terrible depending on which aspect of it you're looking at.
I just think it's like most first attempts. There are things that work and things that need work.
I played it on GamePass and although I don’t regret it, I don’t see myself coming back for a second play through. Dead Space on the other hand continues to age like fine wine.
It’s such a shame that Callisto Protocol turned out to be a dumpster fire. I was really excited to see a cool Dead Space spiritual successor. So glad I didn’t buy the thing, and highly doubt I will (I’ll get into how my ideal version of the game is a radically different game).
There’s this really interesting 40 minute video talking about the various connections between Callisto and PUBG (or if you’d rather read there’s this Reddit thread that goes into the connections between the two. I also watch almost everything at 1.5-2x speed, so videos are faster for me. I’ll also tend to have them play in the background while doing something else). Just like everyone else I didn’t know PUBG even had lore, was confused when they announced the game was set in the same world, and was glad when they announced the two would be separated. Interestingly, the story would’ve been much better if they kept the two in the same world. PUBG’s setting has a ruined world where the climate is awful, and there’s resources scarcity where the rich live in luxurious enclaves and oat of the population live in slums (reminds me of Black Ops 4’s scrapped campaign). The only form of upward mobility is to fight in the Battlegrounds that are run by this organization called The Circle that do this to see why some live, while others die. The winner will be labeled “Vir Solitarius”, meaning “solitary male” or “lone survivor” (what The Circle calls Jacob). In it contestants will be given a blue chip at the base of their neck that shows their vitals, tracks them, and extends their lives (huh, sure sounds familiar). Part of their plan in Callisto was to use the prison for a controlled outbreak so an Alpha Biophage who retains their free will can form. When you get the the councils of holograms that one guy will chastise Jacob “for doing whatever it takes to survive”, which doesn’t really work since he’s just been killing zombies and robots the whole time. Based on all of this we can assume that early on they wanted the game to be a brawler where you’d fight your way through other people in a battle royal type situation, while also dealing with the growing number of mutants. Something else that’s interesting is the name of Jacob’s ship is the same as some ferryman from mythology who carries souls to the afterlife. This implies that he would’ve been shipping human cargo to Black Iron Prison, and that would’ve done a good job of explaining why his partner was apprehensive about taking this last job and why the Warden detained Daniel/Jacob having detected no other life signs in the cargo (test subjects). They could’ve revealed this by having there be burned bodies inside hidden compartments in the ship’s cargo. This would’ve been better than having the game treat him like a bad guy for self defense against mindless zombies and transporting something he reasonably wouldn’t have know what it was. By that point any anomalies would be either ignored, or they’d be part of the job. If both of those were kept in the game the moral ambiguity would’ve actually worked, and Jacob suffering a BRUTAL death after staying behind so Dani could escape would’ve felt earned.
The game would’ve been far better if they had human enemies in it. I know people weren’t fans of human enemies in DS3, but I’d argue that has more to do with the fact that they were done poorly rather than being bad in concept. Someone on another Callisto Protocol review showed some interviews where Glenn was saying that to make the mutants scary the team tried to make them uncanny and humanoid. The guy on the video said that the reason why humans are scary is because we’re unpredictable and intelligent. He then mentioned Condemned Criminal Origins as a great example of a horror game with human enemies that are scary because they’re unsettling, and smart. That’s what they should’ve done with the other prisoners. For human guards there’s two options. The first is to give them the batons, and when fighting them it’s like a dual where you’ll have to block and parry their attacks. The second type would be guards who have guns, and just like the robot’s guns they’re LETHAL (the inverse is true for them and the other humans. You’d be able to cut them down with ease, but you’d want to save your ammo for the zombies. Those guys should’ve played like the Necromorphs where melee is a last resort you DON’T want to do). All of these would make it so you’d want to use stealth, flanking, and what weapon you’ll use (adding more melee weapons would work for something like this). The contrast would add some much needed enemy variety to the game (not going to delve into what they could’ve done with parasites that can mutate their hosts on the fly because it takes 5 seconds of thought to come up with all manor of crazy forms they could’ve taken that would radically alter how you’d deal with them. If they didn’t want to make anything new there’s a LONG list of other space zombies they could’ve copied. I also won’t touch on horror since so many other people have talked about it already).
It’s such a shame what we got was mediocre at best. From what I’ve heard the reason the game’s so linear and has so many vents you crawl through isn’t to hide loading screens. They were so rushed that they didn’t have any time to connect the different level spaces in a way that made logical sense. If the game had combat arenas with plenty of cover/flanking routes, branching paths that lead to the same goal, secrets hidden out of the way, and other stuff like that the thing could’ve had a lot of replayability. I heard that the team was cut down and won’t be given any major games to work on in the future. Hopefully, they can make something good in the future and won’t just become a support studio. Also, a big chunk of why the game got savaged is because it was advertised as the spiritual sequel/successor to Dead Space by people who worked on the original. The marketing give people really crazy expectations.
Just don't expect it to beat Dead Space and you won't be disappointed. It is a lesser game than the other games that inspired it but then again so was Dead Space which was a tribryd of Mass Effect, Doom 3 and Resident Evil 4. This is just Dead Space and Last of US combined. If you want that for 10 hours then you're good.
ITS ON GAME PASS!!!!! GIVE IT A TRY. 🙏
I enjoyed it so much. I did not understand all the negetivity around it. Its not perfect, but it is not even close to bring bad, its a very good game.
Okayish game, the combat in this game is sometimes hit or miss and easy to master, you just need to remember the pattern on when enemy is attacking, then you can counterattack and repeat, as for the story is average. just like every other horror games out there and can easily predicted, the storytelling is straightforward, i think the developer need to focus on the combat more like, why not more focused on the melee combat only? because gun in this game is a little bit suck to be honest, and you get 5 weapon 2 of them is pistol and 2 of them is shotgun and that's repetitive but the games still enjoyable
I had fun playing through the main campaign and portions of final tranmission. The puzzle ruined the entire experience for me though.
Alll you had to do was use the guns effectively during fighting and it really wasn’t that bad. It’s kinda like dark souls you just had to learn how to dance
I don't fully understand the criticisms either. The baton becomes increasingly more interesting as you level it up and I never got tired of connecting a heavy attack and launching an enemy into an environmental hazard.
W Game
only true Kings of the Lord can fight off these demons or aliens in outer space of the dead Jesus is King im gonna finnaly play this game
this will be free on epic next week
Dont play it it's trash
Got a 4090 and if you play 60 fps capped with RT on not shadow RT tho it plays fucking good
Clunkiness in melee gameplay but its good.
playing right now and im at the sewer area and after having to backtrack and go through 4 crawling sequences i just alt-f4. i cant do it man. i dont have all the time in the world to play games like i used to. it feels like a tedious padded waste of time.
Yeah that sequence is probably the worst example of the crawling/shimmying sections.
@@goukigod finished it today. it's an okay game. not bad at all. but held back by poor level design and a very weird combat system which must have been put in for some possible mobile port easy play. platform porting decisions seem to have hurt this game's design and performance.
For sure. I think had it been next gen only, the crawling/shimming sections probably could have been cut.
It’s such a shame, I thoroughly enjoyed the game (even though it definitely wasn’t without its massive flaws). I had a lot of fun with it and was even hype for a second one to come out, but I’d want them to polish it up a bit before considering making another one. It has potential, but it def went in the wrong directions here. And the DLC was the final nail in the coffin because if I didn’t understand why people got angry before, I definitely do now lol. Fantastic video, bro. Loved every bit of your analysis. Hope your channel keeps growing.
It's very frustrating to see a new IP with so much potential not get the second chance it deserves.
Nope. Still just not fun to me. Looks great though
Never liked the look of it.
Just got it for free from Epic Games 😂🎉
No it's not
its free its seems shity videogames at launch get to be free most of the time or at a huuuuuuggeeeeee discount on steam
i prefer the discount but i will always choose free
If this game had SAVE ROOMS/points I would have been way happier.
A man’s fuckin game !!!! Not for these modern day Woke reviewers
So..... Deadspace clone????
I dunno about a clone but it's obvious that it was created by many of the same people who worked on the Dead Space games. It does feel like a spiritual sequel or spinoff though.
Do you say review not spoilers 😕
You want spoilers?
I just tried it today and it is truly awful. The combat system is so tedious. Dodge dodge, hit, hit, dodge, hit...repeat 10 more times. It's like a bad movie scene where one baddie fights the hero at a time while the rest wait their turn. The problem is once you start a fight, you are locked into one enemy until they're dead before you can fight the next guy. You're not free to maneuver around the room, or look at anyone else for that matter. On occasion, you get hit in the back and you can't even turn around to retaliate. This is nothing more than a tech demo to show off some graphics.
Um, you can totally turn and face a different enemy?
@goukigod When I was actively meleeing someone I couldn't. At least the camera slowed down a lot and I was zoomed in.
If you're mid attack then no, but you can stop and turn to face someone else. That said, the combat wont be to everyones taste. The developers made a deliberate choice to make it feel slow and stuck to that philosophy throughout the many updates. While it has flaws, I still love how weighty and satisfying it feels to connect a heavy blow.
I uninstalled this POS! Game is too damn hard.
Will never bother with this game, but it's fun to watch it from afar.
Fundamentally the game cannot be fixed nor saved. The bones are broken. I have played a few hours sitting on my friends couch.
It is just a bad game. Riddled with slow walking, tight pass squeezing, and nonsensically designed combat - the flaws are too deep to fill in and smooth over.
Hard disagree.
That’s so not true everything you said sounds like something a person who went into it thinking these bad things from what u heard & only playing it for prolly 1hr at da most I bet. What game doesn’t start off a little slow so you can kno wtf is going on & the mechanics? Plus I’d say the game starts of pretty quick & it gets even better as you progress
Instead of all the prologue in the review, just get to it, and stop building up to it. SO annoying in a review.
That's why I created clearly labeled chapters
would be a great game but. clunky combat and character/camera freeze after gettign off ladder/crawling through tunnels, all those pointles narrow passages and tunnels just gets on my nerves.. why? why are they even there? is it supposed to be fun?
spinning blades in the middle of the room dont make any sense either. Also a cutscene where you fall from some 200m tower and catch a pipe to save yourself made me laugh out loud.
The common belief is that the vent and narrow passages hide loading, which was particularly necessary for the game to run on last gen.
Yeah, there's a certain level of disbelief you need to suspend, although I'd argue not any more than Dead Space 2.
i bought this game day one i loved it so much it felt like a next gen game the gameplay is so badass fighting with the wrench especially upgraded is so fun i was so hyped when the trailer for the final transmission dlc dropped i got it immediately & beat it in a couple of days people really crapped on this game way too hard
