The Callisto Protocol

I think I'm out there is a and I can't do it, been trying for over an hour and no closer to ?!?! than when I started. Dropped skill and watched YT but still can't do it. When it stops being fun stop, so that looks like it.

Edit. Uninstalled and just watched the ending. Oh well, I was about 80% in and would rate what I played 8/10 until the bit the fucked me off, so including that 5/10. I firmly believe if I have the option to drop down to "easy" and I still can't beat a section, something is wrong with the game mechanics, I accept I'm probably (I am) shite but even so, come on. I have beaten Gears UE legit on insane, and that is far from easy.

Bloody hell duff you burned through that quick!

"Those" days are never great days Duff. Do something that will make you smile today rather than getting stressed at something that annoys you.

Thanx chaps

It’s a good thing it came out before ReDead Space, as regardless of how good or not it is, everything just reminds me how good Dead Space was. There’s a lot of cliche in this, which was cliche in Dead Space, so you know you are struggling when you are extraordinarily derivative of a 2007 game that was highly derivative of System Shock 1 & 2.

(Really not a spoiler but whatever)



Writing and design complaints aside, I’m still enjoying walking down a corridor stomping bastards.

My main interface bugbear is that you can’t play the logs while you walk. We had the technology to do this in the fucking 1990’s.

I think some big QoL patches will be due for this.

Pretty much my take - but I'm only a very short way into it. You've got to laugh at the idea of down on the d-pad for "quick" heal. 

It is, though, absolutely gorgeous on the PS5. I had no idea it was going to look so sumptuous (maybe not the best word given the locales). It oozes atmosphere and I'm really enjoying it so far. 

Got to master the effin' dodge though! 

I picked this up last night while I could still grab the Day One edition (£55 - they're removing it from the stores now so only the £74 edition will remain).
Played a couple of hours, up to chapter 4, before bed and, so far, it's fine. I don't think it's great but the sci-fi atmosphere and visuals are cool. I don't think there's much horror present. Combat isn't good but it works - it's literally just 'dodge-dodge-bash-bash-bash' to win.
It is literally a straight line from start to end. They make you feel like you're moving around the prison a bit, although there is no choice of where to go. I don't really mind this though I do think it could be better with some metroidvania-lite elements to just flesh out the location.


I've never played Dead Space so figured banging through this before playing the remake in Jan was the right order to do things.

Not sure how far I am now. Must be on chapter 5. I think. Don't think I've really done much melee for the last 3 or 4 hours. Just no need for it when I can intermittently throw fools about the place or blast them in the face with a shotgun. Quite confident I can clear a room in a few minutes now. Had a sphincter tightening spell when I had no healing, no ammo and almost no health but got through that and I'm now swimming in everything.

Almost impossible to differentiate this from Dead Space now. It feels and plays exactly the same. Again, that's a plus for me, not a negative.

Thanks for the heads up on this! When are they removing it? Done a google but nothing turned up.

You're right. One of the reasons I'm finding it so scary is the lack of visibility caused by me playing it through my tears of regret.

Poor Wunty - it's like Stockholm Syndrome in video game form.

What makes it worse is that my kidnapper bought me it and now he's my best friend.
