The Callisto Protocol is already on sale and, despite the fact that critics seem to agree that it is a more than competent survival horror title, the computer version presents numerous problems serious to the point that some players they have described it as unplayable. In order to test the performance of the new from Striking Distance Studios, the user ElAnalistaDeBits has shared a complete comparison in which we can appreciate the graphic and stability differences in frames per second in the versions available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and computers.
ElAnalistaDeBits It stands out that he has made the comparison with the launch patch applied in all versions, in addition to running the game on a computer with the following characteristics: RTX 4080/3080/3070Ti/3060Ti/3050, 32 GB DDR5, i9 12900K. Regarding the versions for the next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft, the user concludes that they maintain good performance both in Performance Mode and in Quality Mode, which adds reflection and shadow enhancements, plus ray tracing. On the other hand, Xbox Series S does not feature ray-tracing and has some general cutbacks.
We find the drama with the PC version, which has a “very irregular performance, with stuttering constant and even freezing”both in kinematics and in the gameplay itself, despite the fact that the visual aspect it has in Unreal Engine 4 is surprising. ElAnalistaDeBits it rates the performance on computers as “poor” and, in fact, advises against buying it until a patch is released.
Our opinion after playing it on Xbox Series X
“Undoubtedly, The Callisto Protocol It has its shortcomings, such as the lack of incentives to replay it, the scarcity of bosses (two in the entire game) or certain sequences with a rather outdated design, but if you feel like it a horror adventure of those that came out in the days of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but with graphics typical of 2022, we think it deserves a chance. We will already sign the sequel”, we conclude.
