The Callisto Protocol PS5 Review
If you’re looking for a new game to show off your PS5, Xbox Series X, or beefy ray tracing equipped PC, and you don’t care about anything else other than seeing the future of gaming visuals — then The Callisto Protocol might be worth buying.
It’s one of the most striking-looking, technologically impressive games I’ve ever seen, and it has powerful sound design to back up its shocking visuals.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t advance game design even a single tiny step further than its spiritual predecessor Dead Space did way back in 2008.
I wasn’t asked by this game’s publisher to review it, and I don’t use gross affiliate links.
The Callisto Protocol (official site here) was made by a new studio called Striking Distance for publisher Krafton, and was originally going to be set in the PUBG universe of all things. The studio may be new, but many of its positions are filled by veterans of the gaming space, including one of the main creators of the Dead Space franchise, Glen Schofield. The game is out now for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC…though I strongly recommend you buy it for a new platform with ray tracing hardware if you’re considering it at all.
