The Callisto Protocol isn't a bad game, but it doesn't do much to stand out from its survival horror competitors. Our review:
The Callisto Protocol could have been a lot better than it is. In the absence of Dead Space and other games like it over the past decade, The Callisto Protocol is releasing here at the end of 2022 to give a shot in the arm to the survival-horror genre. And while Callisto largely hits all of the basic benchmarks that you'd expect from a game of this type, it doesn't do anything special to make it a memorable experience.
One of my bigger issues with the storytelling of The Callisto Protocol is that many of the finer details and lore of this world are fleshed out via audio logs that can be collected over the course of the game. And while this is a perfectly adequate way of filling in the gaps, my main annoyance on this front is that audio logs can't even be listened to unless you access them manually from the game's menu.
Guns are also present in The Callisto Protocol, but unlike what was seen with Dead Space, there aren't any weapons that feel unique or fun to use. Every gun you'll obtain over the course of The Callisto Protocol is some variant of a pistol, shotgun, or assault rifle. These guns can be upgraded over time and can unlock variant firing modes, but even then, they still largely operate in the same ways.
On its merits as a horror game, The Callisto Protocol at least does a solid job of crafting eerie environments and gruesome monsters. Striking Distance Studios has really nailed the tone and vibe that I was hoping The Callisto Protocol would feature ever since it was first unveiled. Still, I have to say that I never found myself really scared by the game in the same way that other survival-horror titles have instilled fear in me.
