The Callisto Protocol Day One Edition

Product Information

Otherwise, the two versions are comparable in terms of visual quality which is to say - they look excellent. Furthermore, the performance mode is visually equivalent so if you were planning to enjoy the game at 60 frames per second, this won't be an issue. If you're hungry for ray tracing, however, PlayStation 5 has the edge as of launch day. All things told, The Callisto Protocol is an excellent new experience. The dark aesthetic, detailed visuals, and brutal gameplay easily cement this as one of the best horror games available right now. The similarities to Dead Space are strong at the surface level, but there's plenty of differences here that help set this apart as the start to a compelling new franchise. Straight away, The Callisto Protocol is a good-looking game. The dark science-fiction tone means you'll be seeing a lot of cramped hallways, prison cells, and darkened rooms, but all of it is renderedin great detail. Character models look particularly good, with Jacob constantly covered in sweat, grime, and the blood of dead Biophages. Development of the game began with the formation of Striking Distance Studios in June 2019. Originally developed as a game set in the PUBG: Battlegrounds universe, it later evolved into an original intellectual property.

Hardcore modes are a big part of the survival horror scene – in a genre all about getting through the experience against all odds, it’s perhaps no surprise that the most committed players want those odds made even harder. But even Striking Distance was surprised by how proficient those players could be: Despite its cross-gen heritage, The Callisto Protocol is a game that seems squarely targeted at current-gen hardware, and is definitely best enjoyed on newer consoles. Even the Series S version looks and performs much better than the One X release, which is the strongest of the last-gen versions. Callisto is a stark reminder of the hardware advantages inherent to current-gen tech. That said, the PS4, PS4 Pro, and One X do offer a decent enough experience, judged in isolation. The unfortunate exception is the Xbox One release, which is best avoided for now.
