DO NOT BUY The Callisto Protocol

Daniel abandons completion halfway through, calling The Callisto Protocol bland, clichéd, boring, and insufficiently scary despite polished visuals and atmosphere. He criticizes brief audio logs, unreliable checkpoints, absent storage, uneven resources, cumbersome weapon swapping, and dysfunctional melee against groups. He rates it 4–5/10, rejects the £50 price, and would only consider buying after a year at roughly £12–15.

Anticipation for a spiritual successor reverses into strong disappointment, with technical friction outweighing admired presentation.
