‘The Callisto Protocol’ Dlc Review – “The Final Transmission” Fails to Improve on a Flawed Base Game
In Thomas Wilde’s review of the Callisto Protocol last December, he wrote that the game could have used more time in development to reach the full potential of what developer Striking Distance was going for. In the last seven months, the game has received patches fixing bugs and adding new game modes, including New Game+ and a combat-focused Riot Mode, culminating with its last piece of content, a story Dlc called “The Final Transmission.”
Unfortunately, even with the extra time, the core problems of the base game still plague this expansion, highlighting the fundamental flaws in the game’s design. “The Final Transmission” takes place after the events of the main game, following Jacob (Josh Duhamel), under the orders of Dr. Caitlyn Mahler (Louise Barnes), in his efforts to escape Black Iron Prison with data about the nefarious experiments taking place. Aside from the additional story content, the game...

Big names all round for this moody, glossy looking thriller: Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, directed by Ridley Scott and, best of all, costumes by Scott’s longtime collaborator Janty Yates.
Ms. Yates is best known for her Academy Award winning designs on Gladiator, and more recently Prometheus. But she does far than period and sci-fi. For The Counsellor it’s sharp, sometimes deliberately loud contemporary costume that occasionally recalls her work on Hannibal and Miami-Vice. She used designer names for the principals, including Armani (Fassbender and Cruz), Versace (Bardem) and Thomas Wilde (Diaz). It’s all up there on screen.
The film is based on the first spec-script by novelist Cormac McCarthy and follows Michael Fassbender’s character, a lawyer – ‘the counsellor’, as he gets in deep with drug traffickers. It all seems rather 90’s John Grisham, in a good way.
