The Callisto protocol (PS5) - 8/10
I just finished the game and it was a very well made audiovisual experience. The game was made by a co-creator of the Dead space series and you can tell right away, which isn't a bad thing. The game mechanics are similar, but the close combat system is brand new with a very steep learning curve. Once you learn the the patterns you won't have much trouble beating the game, although I've spent 45% of the game time stuck on the last two bosses. I played it on the Maximum security difficulty with no aids and I enjoyed the challenge, but a lot of frustration was also involved. The game difficulty was very unbalanced.
Anyway, the story was kind of generic, but alright for such game. There were many good plot twists. The game also ran flawlessly on the PS5, locked 30fps with the highest possible visual quality. The soundtrack was also nicely done. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Over Christmas I got a deal on Far Cry 5, and I bought 2 of the 3 DLCs, Lost on Mars and Hours of Darkness. I didn't want the Zombie one as I'm not big into zombies.
Far Cry 5 is excellent but it's got a depressing atmosphere, a sort of oppressive elephant in the room. You know a twist is coming, and then it hits. It does come as something of a relief that the feeling you've had throughout the game is borne out. It's amazing the creators of this game managed to get that in there. They also got rid of the whole "You need to hunt animals to get more than 1 or 2 weapons" thing from the previous games, along with the limits on inventory that mean you have to spend hours dropping individual leaves you've picked up in order to free up inventory slots. It works so much better IMO.
DLC wise, bit of a mixed bag. Lost On Mars is VERY samey all the way through. The weapons are just different types of lasers, some more powerful than others. The enemies have basically 3 types, with greeny grey ones being the weaker ones, and the red ones being stronger. I enjoyed it, but it did feel like a slog towards the end. The ending is also massively telegraphed, and I'm not sure it really fits into the Far Cry universe.
Hours of Darkness is similar to the above considering it's very samey, the landscape is all of one type, the enemies are supposed to be vietnamese but some look like re-clothed cultists from the main game and the weapons are a cut down set of weapons from the main game. It doesn't matter. It's flawed, it feels rushed, but it's so much fun. Forcing you into stealth without really overtly saying so, it takes my gameplay style from the main game and amps it up. Some people who like to get up close or go in blasting would probably hate it, but when you hit that last sniper shot from way outside the bounds of an NVA base, and you get that notification you've taken control of it, it's very special. You also have VC tunnels which are unrealistically large in nature, but it obviously has to fit in with the mechanics of the game engine, and are great fun to clear out like a tunnel rat. I reckon I might complete it and then start over from the beginning. Knowing now what I do, I reckon I could do an even better job of rescuing my squad, finding the collectibles and achieving the mission objectives. I can see why loads of people would say it's a waste of money, but I adore it. With the added benefit of a possible happier ending that I have yet to see. I'm right on the last mission though, so we'll find out, probably tonight. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F
