I waited a long time time get this game because of some bad reviews that I read. I'm glad I finally bought and played it. This game is a lot of fun! If you liked Dead Space, you will like this game too. Not exactly the same but the atmospheres are similar. Some veviews said that it was a melee only game. Untrue. I use guns all the time. There are many to choose from, and lots of upgrades to make if you wish. Ammo and health are plentiful enough, but on higher difficulty both become much more scarce. Some reviews said there was no variety in the enemies. Also untrue. There were many varieties to fight, and different combat strategies worked better on some enemies than on others. The game is quite linear but there are a few little side trips. It looks and sounds beautiful, and the story is very good. I felt engaged in the story until the very end. My final comment is that the game was not terribly difficult until the final boss. The final boss was very challenging and required a ton of ammunition even on the lowest difficulty. Get this game and play it using headphones in a dark room. I bet you'll enjoy it! Read more

This game had so much around it before release. Then at launch, dead silence. After doing some research I saw all the bad reviews. When Playstation Plus dropped a free trial I decided to play it, and boy was I impressed. The story seemed promising, the graphics were great, the cast starred the amazing Josh Duhamel and Sam Witwer. The unpredictable yet inevitable jumpscare were adrenaline pumping in a way I've never felt before. The combat is a bit repetitive, I must say. But with the weapon choices being customizable and upgradable, there is room for growth. This game is also a really easy way to get a platinum trophy. Most people would complain about the ending. And I admit, it isn't that great. The true ending is part of the paid dlc which I have yet to buy. But for what I played, it was solid and I have no regrets. Give it a chance on sale. Read more

I did like this game. Its a little rudimentary, derivative, but then I am a guy that watches the same 80's horror movies. Sometimes I just accept things for what they are; Calisto Protocol is a beautiful game. Good atmosphere, great universe. I felt that I was living in a horror movie with great art, graphics. The acting is great - I can say that because the graphics are so good that the actor's scans are almost uncanny. Now for the bad: It seems to look only good on the PS5 and that was due to the fact that it was meant to be an exclusive and right at the end they decided to release it for XBOX and PC - So i guess those are lazy ports and have performance issues. A lot of these newer games are being sold incomplete and the fix it with a patch later - so physical copies seem pointless because whatever is in that disk it will eventually get patched out. So this game might not work properly in 10 years. I collect games that work. The REALLY bad: The ending that you get leaves on a cliffhanger and they want you to buy their $30 dollar DLC in order to get the TRUE ending. That is a rotten practice that I thought was done away with Mass Effect 3. So i recommend that you get this game cheap! and wait for the DLC to go on a sale. The ending should have been in the game. Good: great gameplay, graphics are awesome, great atmosphere. BAD: Its incomplete and short and needs alot of online downloads in order to run well. Read more
