The Callisto Protocol Review
Review posted on 01/24/23 by Amazon.com
Think DeadSpace with upgraded visuals and effects. I was turned away from this game after reading a few negative reviews. I'm starting to think the people who review PS5 games work for Microsoft. Just like Days Gone which got horrible reviews and turned out to be one of the best games on Playstation 4, The Callisto Protocol will go down as an epic horror adventure game that was seriously under-rated. Graphics, voice acting, story all top notch. I really enjoyed this game and I'm betting 95% of the rest of you will too. Reviews are becoming more and more unreliable. Play the game for yourself and be your own judge. You won't be disappointed.

Before purchasing, I read some of the negative reviews. And found myself becoming a bit worried. But having been a fan of the original games on PS3 and loving them, I decided to take the plunge. And yessss!!! The graphics, sound and atmosphere are thankfully STILL beautiful and terrifying. My son and I were pretty terrified while playing. You truly never know what's going to jump out at you or what's just a mere background noise. Soooooo worth the purchase imo.
