When the game first came out and received bad reviews, I hesitated to buy it. Some players also complained about glitches and bugs. However, I bought the game during last year’s sale, but it stayed in my library until I remembered it and decided to try it. To my surprise, I didn’t encounter any glitches, as the studio has fixed the issues. The gameplay is fun and full of action from start to finish, without any boring moments. I believe the game was unfairly judged and truly deserves to be experienced.

I really have no clue why some people give this great game a thumbs down. How can you be a dead space fan and dislike this? It's basically dead space 4. Yes it has a focus on melee and yes sometimes it can be problematic when facing multiple enemies at once but it still feels very realistic and satisfying. Also this game visually has probably the best graphics/animation I have ever seen. Really enjoyed it and would 100% recommend it to any dead space fan or any survival/horror fan in general.

It is a really good game. It looks fantastic, gameplay is addictive, melee combat is not overly complicated and while the story is somewhat clichéd, it is still all right. The only thing which is leaving more to be desired is the performance. Maybe it is because I am playing on Linux, but still, I would like to see slightly more FPSs and more stable frame time.

Maybe it was the bad performance at launch, or maybe it was the over-expectation of people. But for me, I failed to see the mind boggling criticism this game received because it is a decent game. The Callisto Protocol hailed itself as a spiritual successor to Dead Space, and it did well enough in that regard. Here is a linear, immersive experience with an engaging survivalist story - basically a good old-fashioned game where you enjoyed for around 10 hours, then come back for the experience when nostalgia hit after some time has passed. The gameplay loop is basically Dead Space but heavily focused on melee. Maybe for some people, shooting a gun with different trajectory is less repetitive, but TCP gameplay is as repetitive as any game can get, as it can't be more repetitive than games where criticism have praised to high heaven but had even more repetitive gameplay loop. This game biggest fault would be its checkpoint system, it would often put you back to a long cutscene, or where you had to spend a lot of time thinking on what to upgrade. And not long after said checkpoint, you ended up picking loots that could have spawn earlier before the checkpoint so you could manage your inventory better. And level design is nowhere as sophisticated as Dead Space, it is more linear and you would spend most time sticking to a straight corridor. These are the only criticism I have for this game. It's sad to see how TCP could have done well as a horror franchise and a sequel with many improvements. But with its troubled development, the crazy budget it needed and the hyperbolic criticism it received, this game will be a one timed experience. And the circle of the gaming industry cater to people who prefer loot box multiplayer and short attention span experience coils again.

I mean the game is not bad, it's just not great either. Graphics are beautiful, I give it that, but unfortunately the gameplay is quite basic. The whole game feels and plays more like cinematic experience rather than solid action-RPG. My main problem was that the game is quite slow, especially in the first half, so it's lot of walking a not much happening. This gets better later when guns unlock and ammo (and enemies) start to be plentiful.
