The Callisto Protocol is a gauntlet, but not in any way that’s rewarding. Here’s why you should play on easy mode (or «Minimum Security,» as the game calls it).
Survival horror games are supposed to challenge to players, and The Callisto Protocol definitely goes all in on that philosophy. The problem is that it does so a bit too much, often pitting you against several aggressive, relentless enemies at the same time. Considering that ammo is scare and health items don’t grow on trees, Callisto can prove to be a tough ride.
A word of advice: Play on easy mode, which the game calls Minimum Security. It’s by no means is a walk in the park, but at the very least, you won’t find yourself frustrated by ridiculous difficulty spikes and maddening checkpoints that throw you into a battle unprepared.
Look, I enjoy playing hard games every now and then.
