Just a reminder for everyone that "Momentum Based Development/progression" was code for "Crunching" during Callisto Protocol's development

The Callisto Protocol... It's... ... hard to explain.

Graphical is awesome, the gameplay is dumb but fun and easy...

If you get into without a big expectation to play a Dead Space Clone you will enjoy it. I liked the story, and nothing more... the final from the DLC is the best part I think... ...

im not explaining myself.

The Callisto ProtocolTM

Every modern game that has a complete and utter disdain for the gamer.

Step 1: Ignore the TM, as this is only done by the worst megacorps. If you notice it, you won't play the game.

Step 2: Load the game, and click through several abusive megacorp EULAs.

Step 3: Have a full-screen DLC add pop up that you have to explicitly opt out of.

Step 4: Have not the main character, but strong, female, PoC. Camera is a shaky-cam over-the-shoulder. That you can't control. When you can't control it, your brain cannot compensate for it, and it's literally nauseating.

So, you're a masochist for still trying to play this game. And not even a good, Soulsborn masochist, but in the horrible corporate slop defender masochist.

Step 5: Finally see the main character. Mediocre banter, heavy warning that you shouldn't be here. Great way to welcome me to the game. They honestly can't trust the audience to let the story unfold.

Step 6: Gameplay! Your character takes up 40% of the left-side of the screen, and has tank controls. They can't have things for you to find, as the game engine can't handle looking around. There is like one thing per level and is very, very heavily marked.

Step 7: More cinematics, and it turns out you were really stupid to be here. I mean, why are you playing this game shipping things from Callisto?

Step 8: Cinematics are done, onto gameplay. Which is barely different from the cinematics.

Step 9: COMBAT!.. Modern reinvented combat. That you get tired of after the third time you do it.

Step 10: Meet an NPC that explicitly tells you what to do, removing even the illusion of choice or agency of the player / protagonist.

Step 11: Stealth section. In theory. The game doesn't trust gamers to actually rise to the most minor challenge, and in truth, the gameplay is so terrible that you can't really even do it, anyways, and so the stealth section is entirely procedural, where the game moves the enemy when you reach the new section, so they are in position to not see you for the next leg.

Step 12: Jump scare! Well, in theory. The camera controls are so terrible that it's difficult to look at the thing you want to look at, and so the only way you know it's a jump scare is because is because the jump scare music play.

Step 13: Turn off the game, as it hasn't provided ANYTHING of value.

Step 14: Delete the game, to clear up 60GB from my harddrive.
