Is The Callisto Protocol Worth Your Time in 2024? - Honest Review
Is The Callisto Protocol worth your time in 2024, especially now that it has been given away for free on the Epic Games Store this past week? In this honest review, I dive into the stunning visuals, frustrating gameplay, and inevitable comparisons to Dead Space to help you decide if this sci-fi horror experience is right for you.
I finished The Callisto Protocol in about 13 hours and was left with mixed feelings. While the game offers some of the most breathtaking graphics I’ve ever seen, the clunky combat and predictable story leave a lot to be desired. If you’re on the fence about playing this game in 2024, especially as a freebie, this review will give you all the insights you need to m...

Insomniac Games Leak: Exploring Gaming Secrets & Ethical Boundaries
Thank you for making this video
Glad it was helpful!
Just got back in to the game after playing early on. The number of times I’m in a dash and they don’t miss a fucking bullet is laughable. So many cheaters in this game tbh
It's crazy to me how this is still an issue. I was thinking about jumping back in the game but after reading your comment, I think I'm good.
@@sktalksgames yeah it’s pretty insane happens way more than even cod. There’s a reason this game has no kill cams
@DoctorDeathFPS that's a shame cause as I remember the gameplay is actually really fun.
I just discovered this game. It’s sick!
It took me by surprise as well!!! I just wish I was better at it 😂
It’s an ok game to play. Mediocre story and very linear game. Even though the combat is fun, it’s repetitive…. But one thing I hate about this game is saving system. It’s so random autosave or manual save. Sometimes all of autosaves are gone suddenly 😓
Such a damn shame about the mediocre story. I can deal with the subpar combat system, but I really wish they’d done something more with the story, there is just so much potential. I can’t say I had any issues with the saving system though. I even transferred my save files over to my Steam Deck and it worked just fine, so I’m not sure what’s happening with your save files.
@@sktalksgames I played it on ps5. I saw the game had so many autosave files so I did manual saves only 1-2 times. I was at the underground city chapter after the explosion scene and I exited after that because I saw the game doing autosave. The next night I was going to play it… all the autosaves were disappeared!!! There were only my 2 manual saves left. It was the save at the sewer chapter, still in the prisoner outfit. So I had to play it all over again… 🥲
Oh damn that sounds very painful. I had no issues on PC so maybe it's a PS5 specific problem.

Nice video but please dont put music over the games soundtrack. It becomes very annoying to listen to
You're 100% right. I actually realized this after it was uploaded already and I was watching it on RUclips that it's super messy. I made sure of not making that mistake again in the next video. Thanks for your input I do really appreciate it.

Great review - haven’t been able to put it down since release, so much fun
I had fun with it too on the easy difficulty. I really struggled with the higher ones so I've had to stop because it just wasn't fun anymore but as I said in the review, that's a me issue and got nothing to do with the game. I'm glad you're enjoying.

Halfway through and have seen more Gameplay of metroidvanias than the named game in the video. Stop trying kid
Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind.

It's okay, it helps me improve on my next video so I appreciate the sentiment.

This game is basically a modern, realistic version of Nintendo's Classic F-Zero franchise and that's why it will always hold a very special place in my heart. I've been so hooked on RO2 ever since i bought this game in early 2023 and as a longtime F-Zero fan, this game definitely scratches that itch I've had for insanely high speed, futuristic, anti gravity racing that relies heavily on just your skills alone and not some wack mechanic like items or weapons to hinder your opponents. Just pure, raw skill. Like in real motorsports.
I have to admit it did kind of remind a little bit of F-Zero so good to see that someone else also had a similar observation!
@@sktalksgames 😁
I'm a huge fan of the genre and Redout 1 was my favorite so far but the reason I was not playing this one is that it hasn't got a VR mode. However, now that we have UEVR (Unreal Engine VR injector) this game became my favorite AG racer of the moment, I think it's even an improvement over Redout 1. I did play the first Redout before I got VR but once you play any racer, there is simply NO WAY going back to flat screen.
I think VR is my next big purchase when it comes to my gaming hobby. Do you have any suggestions in terms of VR headsets?
@@sktalksgames I have a Valve Index, which is very decent but might be starting to get outdated now. Be sure that your headset can do 90hz, which is what you need to aim for. The index also supports 120hz and 144hz but for triple A games, with current top GPUs, is asking maybe too much. But there are headsets that only do 75hz or so, and that's not a nice experience. The field of view is also very important, which is decent with the index, check that it is at least the same, preferably more. I also love the floating speakers of the Index! Tracking is also perfect with the lighthouses. And it definitely has the best controllers (for playing HL:Alyx at least) The biggest drawback is the cable. Higher resolutions may also be possible but again, you can't have a fast enough GPU. Furthermore I'd like to say if you play like one or two simulator like games that support VR, it's absolutely worth it! I mostly play Star Wars Squadrons and Dirt Rally 2.0 (with HOTAS and racing wheel).
Thanks for that. I'm gonna look into it more. Definitely been something I've been thinking about for a while just wasn't sure where everything is at and how much content is actually out for VR right now.
This guide was awesome and helped me set this up quick. Question: would I have to port forward to get this working remotely, utilizing an att mobile hotspot from my iPhone? I want to play r6 siege on the go..
I'm glad you found the video helpful. And that's exactly right, you need to set your PS5 a static IP through your router settings and also forward some ports. After that it should work without an issue.
@@sktalksgames thanks for the quick response. I thought with the new version 1.7.3 u didn’t need to port forward…?
@@dmansmith7612 I personally haven't tried setting this up so I could be wrong about this.
I wish the hero shooter genre was oversaturated. What do we have besides Overwatch? I guess Valorant? Even though it's moremof a tacticak shooter. Apex? I think BR game loop is too different to count.
That's a really interesting point like, how do we actually define the hero shooter genre?
naw bro this shit is trash and paid trash on top of it overwatch might be ass but its free ass
How are they gonna charge $40 when every other hero shooter is free2play?
My point exactly. It needs to do way more to justify the price.
@@sktalksgames 100% there are so many free games that should cost $60 but this one should be free
@dislot you said it. Why would I play this when I can just play overwatch or valorant? Or literally so many other free to play games that offer way more and are actually more fun?
It’s literally worse than every hero shooter, it does nothing different if anything it takes away more than it adds. It’s worse in every single way
Still no good hero shooter since Team Fortress 2
You're 💯 right. Such a shame what's happening to that game with all the issues it's having recently, especially bots!
@@sktalksgames Hey, the bots got fixed at least!
Global Agenda was alright if you played it during it's hay day, even had okay pve plus some other interesting mixes like territory control through matches with some cool cosmetic rewards. Too bad Hi-rez dropped it too early imo.
I’ll have to check it out then!
I respect the opinions, but I feel like most of the points brought up are irrelevant or missing more perspective. Hero shooter genre is not exactly as oversaturated as you'd think. There are a couple of big games and most of those are so different from each other they aren't directly competing. A lot of gamers who you identify yourself with, 25-35 playing games after work to relax, have a very different mindset than you might have. A lot of them are casual gamers and will play anything that is new and shiny as long as they have friends or family that is getting into the same game at the same time. That's why terrible AAA releases still get so much money even after a horrible track record. The casual gamer does not care. Continued support of the game will depend on the community, but companies have shown they are willing to pivot to f2p model as soon as the profit becomes too low. This game is coming at a perfect time when OW has lost any good faith it had left and people are just waiting for something to jump ship. If the gameplay is satisfying enough it will go big.
I understand the point you're trying to make completely, especially about how OW is not exactly doing itself any favours, so in sense too Concord has a good shot. After trying the beta, at least the first one cause I haven't had the chance to try the second yet, I'm just not convinced Concord can offer enough. Sure, the initial few weeks and months might boom as you said because gamers like to try the shiny new toy, but I think it will have a massive dip once everyone gets bored cause it's not doing enough to keep our attention. I suppose at the end of the day time will tell and I do honestly hope that this game ends up doing well because I miss playing a good hero shooter like back in the early days of OW. I just fear that they're setting themselves up for failure by charging 40$.
A game that fumbles in the same aspects most modern games fumble is not gonna go big. If it did we wouldve seen waaay better numbers in the beta, as things stand right now there isnt much interest in the game at all.
@Neilos-sd6ti this is very true. I couldn't even get a single game last night.
Lol, did you design your character to look like Big Smoke from GTA San Andreas? Edit - okay, i got further into the review and saw your comment about that ❤ I liked this game well enough. It lacked polish but was pretty fun overall. I didn't finish the story as i got bored with the repetition after about 10 hours.
Haha yea once I saw big smoke in the community design tab I knew I had to make him my character. I fully understand the repetitiveness of the game getting boring and to be honest, you're not missing much by not finishing the game. The ending is very average, and that's me being very generous haha. If you had 10 hours of fun then I think that's alright.
The game is solid, not outstanding but good overall and feels reasonably well balanced. Im still learning the ropes and finding my favourite characters and I've played maybe 4 hours across both betas so far. I think it needs to do more to explain its systems like the crew bonus but overall it feels nice and technically really polished and doesn't deserve this level of pushback. I think anyone upset over the diversity or any pronouns needs to step away from the keyboard and do some fucking self reflection.
This is how I felt about Concord too. It's not outstanding and like I said in the review, it's gonna have to be something extra special to stand out but as a standalone game, it's just okay. I get that a game being just okay is not enough for some, that's completely fair but some people really need to relax a bit when it comes to this stuff. At the end of the day it's just a game and this is just my opinion. Nobody is forced to watch my video so if it's something they're not interested in, just don't watch it?! I don't know maybe I'm missing something.
Lol

Paid reviews need to be disclosed in description or pinned in comments.
If I've had review keys sent to me I always make sure to mention it at the beginning of the video. It is also stated in the description, you can check my previous videos on V Rising and The Rogue Prince of Persia to see this. I bought Concord with my own money because I'm interested to see what it's about. No money was exchanged between myself and the publishers/developers to make this video and of course all opinions are my own. I'll make sure to include this in my future videos, even if I haven't received review keys just to avoid any confusion so thank you for leaving this comment.
How is this 140Million $ game? With boring generic levels and a lame character design
Management
I actually enjoyed parts of it but I agree the characters are very generic and don't seem to be able to hold their own. The game definitely needs more time to cook.
The fact that the title of this video is, " Concord Beta Review: The Best Hero Shooter Since Overwatch?" How much are they paying to write this one up? How could you even compare this trash to aa game like Overwatch. I guess the floaties of destiny and the clunk movement system of rainbow six siege. This game doesn't have a lot going on for it.
The title is a question and during the video I try to answer it. And my final verdict is that I don't think this game is going to succeed unless they significantly improve and innovate the gameplay while also making the game free to play, none of which I see happening, at least not between now and its release. Also, there's been no money exchanged to make this video and I paid for the game in full with my own money. If I ever receive codes from developers or publishers, I always make sure to make it clear right at the beginning of the video, like I've done many times before in previous videos.
@@sktalksgames You're going to get a lot of hate with the title the way it is.
If people would take just 2 minutes to watch the beginning argument of the video they'll realise that I don't think this will be better than Overwatch but hey, I suppose I should work on better titles 🤐
@@sktalksgames The duality of youtube titles isnt it. Make it clickbaity, you get called out for clickbait. Make it not clickbaity, nobody watches it.
@ReiReiFoxy this is true, however I don't think my title is clickbait as it's a question. If I had left it as a statement I'd say it is clickbait but, 🤷🏻
Like a great poet once said, this game: "It's the biggest piece of dog shit that I've ever heard"
Fair enough 😂
I'm not really a fan of looter shooters to begin with, but my biggest problem with the game is the character design, and the use of pronouns, I have always felt that people who use pronouns only do so to aggravate people on purpose, this game is not my cup of tea but if you like it that's ok, I disagree with your opinion but I'm still going to give you a thumbs up. I'm just glad they made there own game this time, instead of destroying something I love, so good on Sony for that at least.
Thank you for your honesty, and to be frank, I was thinking about why they felt the need to include pronouns too and then I realized I that I don't particularly care since it has zero impact on gameplay so I stopped thinking about it. It's definitely going to be interesting to see if Sony will keep the price tag or will they listen to feedback and make the game free to play. In its current state, for a 40 dollar game, I reckon this game will be dead on arrival. Definitely not worth the price even if it is trying something different.
How do I set up the home button to switch games on ps5? Nothing I do seems to work
If you use the official chiaki4deck controller map it should be the left touchpad
Map the left touchpad as a button..assign to keyboard letter T.. youre welcome.. btw i do richt touchpad as Escape button.. so it work like clicking the touchpad on ps5 controller. ✌🏻
Followed everything to a T it still does not show up in my library
Make sure to restart steam deck
4:05 It's understandable from the point of familiarity with other racing games that you would expect that a map would be helpful but “reacting” to the track means you don't *know* the track; yet. At B league level speeds a map could potentially be helpful but in the end it would be a crutch that gets in the way; to succeed on higher levels “knowing” the track is essential to the point that you know the “rhythm” of boosting and stacked hyper-boosts for the that track; and that rhythm shifts with the speed class as hull/boost recharge times don't change but more track has to pass under you for the same recharge progression. The other issue is that Redout 2 tracks are 3 dimensional so a 2D map projection wouldn't be as helpful as with “flatland racers”. Finally, the perception of speed and need for precision feedback/control leads to a sort of tunnel vision anyway making it difficult to take in the information at the periphery of the screen where the map would be located; already beginners will have to learn to concurrently assimilate the hull, heat and hyperboost gauges which are thankfully augmented by audio cues; that will probably consume their entire, tightly constrained “peripheral information budget” anyway.
Thank you for your amazingly put together and informative comment. A lot of things I hadn't even considered and it all makes sense.
