UPDATE: I try to running the game with 90% on Rendering and that did the trick.

At the time of writing this review, I only have about 3 hours of play and with too much pain I cannot recommend this game, at least in the state it is in now.

The Callisto Protocol is a game that with a couple of minutes manages to immerse you in an incredible way in this spooky prison on the Jupiter moon Callisto. And it achieves it not only with its incredible visual aspect, its chilling atmospheres that will put you in constant tension and attentive to everything that happens around you.

The audio in this type of games plays a very important role and the guys from Striking Distance Studios manage in a spectacular way to make you feel each surface, area and actions more than just being heard, feel very satisfactory and according to the situation and the moment .

With 3 hours of play I can say that Callisto managed to catch me with great intrigue in wanting to know what happens to our protagonist and why everything is going to ♥♥♥♥ in this world, with an incredible story and narrative. The actors and their mo-caps look amazing and are done in a way that you can feel the terror and anger that some of the characters are experiencing in their faces.

But despite all this, the game for now suffers from a huge optimization problem. Unexpected frame drops are a testicular pain, not only in large rooms, but also in small rooms, but the most painful thing is the inconsistency of these drops. Regardless of the graphic mode these drops will be. And in a game like this where you live with your buttocks clenched until the last second, there is nothing more annoying than finding yourself in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ situation against not 1 but 2 creatures and start suffering from these falls. The greatest difficulty of the game is not the difficult scenarios, nor its enemies, more than the game itself with its fps drops.

These are things that are going to be fixed, it's true, but it's painful that this terrifying and fascinating game manages to do everything in an incredible and spectacular way from the creative and mechanical point of view, so much so that it immediately catches you so that technical problems of this type can overshadow it and you make you want to stop playing it.
