ComingSoon's The Callisto Protocol review breaks down how this promising horror game stumbles in nearly every aspect.
left off on a sour note, one with a pungent aftertaste that has lingered for almost a full decade.seemed designed to finally override that nasty aroma with its own approach to the genre, as it was unambiguously inspired by that series and from some of the same creatives. Instead of being a thoughtful successor worthy of carrying the torch,The Callisto Protocolthat it’s difficult to grasp how it could fail so spectacularly, but almost all its many shortcomings are nestled beneath the surface.
While unique, it’s extremely repetitive because the controls are too simple and don’t allow for much variation. Almost every single enemy swings once or twice and then is open for a counterattack, which is an easily exploitable loop that hardly changes throughout the game. The heavy strike is too slow to be of any use and parrying doesn’t absorb all damage, meaning the default swing is the only useful choice.
All of these irritating drawbacks mean it is impossible to be fully immersed in its gorgeously rendered world. Having to contend with a never-ending string of nuisances is counterintuitive for the horror genre that thrives on immersion. Horror without immersion is just being annoyed in the dark.
