The ban on the publication of reviews has also been lifted.
The Callisto Protocol, a sci-fi action horror game created by Striking Distance Studios, went on sale today.
At the same time, reviews of Western publications collected on the Metacritic aggregator appeared on the network. In total, over 60 reviews have already been published for all versions, including 37 articles for the PlayStation 5, which received 76 points out of 100 possible. The PC and Xbox versions received 75 points each.
In general, the game is praised for its atmosphere, modern graphics, high-quality animation, and combat system with new dodge mechanics, but criticized for the lack of scary moments, low variety of enemies, clichéd story, and technical problems on PC.
Below are quotes from reviews of various publications:
The Callisto Protocol is the true sequel to Dead Space that we never had, and Glen Scofield had to return to the horror genre.
Jeux Actu (90/100)
The Callisto Protocol gave me nightmares. This is the best horror game of the year and a bright new contender in the survival horror genre.
Gfinity (90/100)
The Callisto Protocol, for all its tension, cannot hide the horrors within.
Wcftech (72/100)
Bloody and grim, The Callisto Protocol doesn’t go against the horror formula, but instead uses all of its broken clichés to tell a dark sci-fi story laced with menace.
PC Gamer (79/100)
A fantastic looking game that builds a great sci-fi world only to destroy it with nasty combat missions.
GamesRadar+ (60/100)
