I never thought I'd play a game more bloodier than Dead Space. A glorious, gory, sci-fi horror gem. Underrated!

The Callisto Protocol takes sci-fi violence to a whole other level, and exceeds your thirst for bloodshed in a horror game. From the darkest corner of space, prepare yourself to fight off the "Biophage," which are the most disgusting abominations from your worst nightmares.

The combat in this game is fun, satisfying, and absolutely brutal. Pump your enemies full of led, smash their brains in with hand to hand combat, or throw them across the room with your "gravity restraint projector," into sharp spikes. Sounds like fun? Of course it does! And if you're a true horror fan, and a twisted mofo like me, you'll definitely enjoy the brutality this game has to offer.

The story and atmosphere is on point. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous. A brutal, but yet beautiful looking game. The characters and actors are all top notch, and elevated the quality of the dread. The Callisto Protocol feels like you're in a big budget sci-fi horror film, and a really good one. No live action movie needed, the game is the movie.

A game for the entire family! Yeah... no! Hide the wife, and hide the kids, because you'll be covered in Biophage entrails in no time :-D

9/10

----------------- Optimizing The Callisto Protocol ------------------
Now, the biggest reason the game got negative reviews is because of how unoptimized the game was on released day. However! Before you bypass this game, there are ways of tweaking the settings, so your game plays smoothly. This is what worked for me...


*** Tested with Nvidia RTX 3070 ***

- Open Nvidia control panel, select program settings, add The Callisto Protocol.
- Once The Callisto Protocol is added, scroll down to "max frame rate," I set it for 60fps.
- Start The Callisto Protocol game, go into settings, set the frame rate to match the Nvidia frame rate, which is 60fps.
- If you normally play games on 4K, consider lowering the resolution a little for The Callisto Protocol.
- Turn off RT options, set the shadows to low, everything else can be set on high, and quality.
