The Callisto Protocol (2022 Video Game)
10/10
What on Jupiter are you complaining about?!

I mean seriously, Dead Space is one of the best scifi horror game series there is. After third part, it was announced that there won't be fourth part because of a bankrupt or something. Fans were of course little pissed about it. But then years later, we were told that there will be a spiritual successor to Dead Space and fans were delighted. And here it is. The Callisto Protocol. In my opinion, it is Dead Space spin-off, or maybe even the "lost" fourth part. It has exactly the same gameplay style. You got third person view. You got the real time inventory. You collect credits. You got monsters. You got dark and blood smeared tunnels. You got everything Dead Space had/has. Why are you complaining?! Just play the game, don't read the reviews because people ARE comparing it to Dead Space. But The Callisto Protocol is still fun and scary (hint, wear headphones) and challenging. I played with medium but it's beatable. I read somewhere that some critic played it on medium and had to change the difficulty to easy and it still was too challenging. Therefore, the critic didn't like the game. But if you're an experienced player (like me), you will survive...

Edit: After finishing the game, I must admit and acknowledge that I completely understand the critics' complaints about the difficulty level of the game. At times, I had to switch it to the easiest setting, and still, it was a challenging experience. Another thing I really didn't like was the saving points. You squeeze through pipes, invest a significant amount of time in it, turn a corner, and then you die in a flash. The saving point is on the other side of those pipes, so you have to go through the narrow passage again. Ugh! I don't think I'll ever play this again, but at least I can say I've played it.
