Jank is fine, but not when its 70 euros. Was ofc going to wait for a sale either way but this pretty much seals the deal. It'll drop tp half the price in 2-3 months.

There are multiple reviews with scores greater than 8/10. They’re in the OP.

Also pretty sure Schofield only worked on dead space 1.
The guy who directed dead space 2 was in charge of gameplay of dead space 1 as well. So not that surprising that gameplay is inferior here.
I still wanna support a new IP so might pick it up.. saw a bit of gameplay and doesnt look too horrible on PS5.

I'll wait until it's $30 or less on pc. By then hopefully all the issues have been ironed out. Shame cause this was my most hyped game this year, F.

Some really low scores here. Didn't expect that tbh. Probably means I'm gonna love it.

The nicest person on this forum
The complains is very similar to when original Evil Within came out, complete with one hit kill bosses and performance issues but despite of that I enjoyed Evil Within even more it’s sequel.
I’m also buying physical copy so there is no “risk” for me, I just sell back and put it towards another upcoming game.

Test (Wertung) zu The Callisto Protocol (Action-Adventure)
Horror-Fans kommen um diesen Titel nicht herum: Geniale, extrem stimmungsvolle Optik ein äußerst fein gewebter Klangteppich und eine saftige Portion Gore machen Callisto zu einem der gruseligsten Spiele aller Zeiten.

Comes across as very positive! Not masterpiece, but still a quality video game.
My only reservation is that it's currently "Mostly Negative" on Steam, with users with rigs a little worse off than mine having unplayable stutter. Given the quality of its graphics, I really wanted this one on PC. Might wait and see if they hotfix this.

These same reviewers gave HFW high scores and goty nominations. I rest my case.

There were always questions about the combat system. If they modernized it enough compared to Dead Space, it seems it's a point of contention.
The price point is gonna hurt this game, it's a lot to ask for a game you might be unsure about. I had the same feeling about Gotham Knights.
Man, it's unfortunate about the PC version, especially since a lot of streamers are gonna play this on the PC today and all the potential jank are gonna be front and center.

It's not better than DS1 but if youre a fan of that game you really should just play this for yourself

Worse than expected. I was prepared for a 80-85, that would have been disappointing anyway, but lower than 80 was unthinkable for me. I wanted it day 1 but now I will wait until it costs something like 40€, same I did for The Quarry (and thanks God because then I discovered that the reviews where right, shitty boring game).

Has there been any game with a review embargo until the same day of release that was good?

Looks like it is included...
Now, to more important things.
Just what THE FUCK, Glen? I mean, my PC can run A Plague Tale: Requiem all maxed in 4K 40 FPS locked with zero performance problems and it is one of the most beautiful and visually mind-blowing games I've ever seen. WTF? I can't run The Callisto Protocol even in 1080p 60 with stable performance without RT and using FSR Quality? The game barely uses my CPU, can't even eat more than 5.5 GB of VRAM which is also clearly not an issue. What an effin' disaster!

Over de The Callisto Protocol-review
The Callisto Protocol is vandaag uit. Ondanks dat we al een tijdje met de game aan de slag zijn, komt de review iets later dan gepland.
This Dutch review outlet states that the review copy provided was full of problems that are as of release mostly fixed by patches. They have therefore decided to review the game with the fixes, as it is a much better experience.

Hmm, yeah I decided to wait when I saw the late embargo date. Was probably the right call. Definitely buying it though, but I’ll wait for a discount. There seems to be a lot of post-launch content coming with NG+ etc so waiting a while sounds ok in this case.
Edit: Sounds like at least some of the stuff (performance issues, combat animations) could’ve been better with some more time in the oven. Some stuff may still get fixed post launch.
Must’ve been hard for the team to see the Dead Space remake announced so close to this, probably a reason they tried to get the game out a bit too early.

Not really imo. Survival Horror fans are starving and the early trailer footage looked really impressive. It's a shame that it didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

Idk i kept watching those zombie things dog pile him in a small room for like 10 minutes, and he basically just got frustrated with the shitty dodge and movement mechanics i guess
It was hard to watch
