In our The Callisto Protocol review, we called it “an impressive game derailed by unforgiving combat,” which view was rather extensively resembled to name a few expert doubters as well as gamers at launch. An substantial collection of post-launch spots boosted the game’s fight as well as technological concerns, yet reports of poor sales as well as a final bit of story DLC that fans likened to “IP abandonment” suggested that the game never ever actually obtained its feel-good turn-around tale. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Glen Schofield additionally dated conflict before the game’s launch with a tweet appearing to glorify crunch culture, for which he later apologized.
