The Callisto Protocol is out today and is getting very mixed reactions. Reviews have criticized the survival horror game for a number of issues, including a sloppy combat system, a weak story, and performance issues. I pointed out those issues in my own Digital Trends review , though in the end I enjoy its throwback feel to the Xbox 360. However, if you’re jumping in this weekend, here’s a tip.
Don’t be a hero; game The Callisto Protocol on the lowest weight setting.
Before the chorus of “good” starts, that suggestion isn’t about making the game easy. In fact, easy mode will feel like hard mode in this game. While you can start with one of his two higher settings, the game experience will be much better and more balanced if you swallow your pride and tone it down.

This is due to the somewhat confusing and complicated combat system of the game. IN The Callisto Protocol, avoidance is key. It’s so crucial, in fact, that it overrides your movement. When you’re close to an enemy, your left stick turns into a directional dodge that you’ll need to perform to dodge attacks. The timing of these dodges is not easy to understand, which can make first encounters difficult at first. Switching to simple allows you to learn that system with a lot less hair pulling.
However, once you learn it, I still don’t recommend increasing the weight again. The combat system works well for one-on-one encounters, but isn’t nearly as smooth when there are multiple enemies on screen. You will often find yourself surrounded by monsters, unable to escape because you are blocked from dodging. You end up taking a ton of damage The Callisto Protocol because of that you can’t do much there either. Switching to easy at least allows you to get more of those hits.
Don’t be afraid that you will go through the adventure that way. I played the game on the easiest difficulty and still died from certain bosses and enemies dozens of times. The challenge is still there; it’s just more fun than a frustrating challenge.
