Callisto Protocol is, at the very least, better than Dead Spehs 3 and the remake - considering that the latter is just a woke downgrade.
No troon bathrooms, no graffiti written by tumblrinas, no dumb love triangles and the same kind of simplistic plot you can find in Dead Space; the space T-virus breaks loose in a prison on a remote, dead moon and everything goes to shit from there.
I had to tinker with the graphics settings a lot to make the game look good, and then i discovered that it performs a lot better with DirectX 11 instead of the default 12, and went with the ultra settings.
There are two main complaints everyone has about this game:
1. It's very linear, with some side paths that lead to additional fights and loot - but weren't Dead Space 1 and 2 like this too? It's been so many years since i played them that i don't remember.
2. The combat and the game overall are too easy.
The game has guns and upgrades like Dead Space, but the combat is at its core melee based, and a simplified Punch Out.
Unless you dodge twice in a row in the same direction like a tard, and/or you have the reflexes of a Dale or a Fill, you will be unstoppable in 1vs1.
Things become complicated when you are facing groups, but then you can reposition yourself (aka running away like a bitch) and use the telekinesis to push the extra enemies away, possibly against a wall of spikes.
The main use for the guns is integrating them in the melee combos, causing dismemberments; some enemies have parts that must be destroyed as quickly as possible to avoid resurrections and/or bulkmaxxing.
At the end of the day what makes or breaks the game is the player finding this fun or not:



Personally i'm enjoying it on hardcore mode, it's probably too easy on normal.
