The Callisto Protocol | PS5, PS4​

In this narrative-driven, third-person survival horror set 300 years in the future, take on the role of Jacob Lee – a victim of fate thrown into Black Iron Prison, a maximum-security penitentiary located on Jupiter’s moon, Callisto. When inmates begin to transform into monstrous creatures, the prison is thrown into chaos. To survive, Jacob must battle his way to safety to escape Black Iron Prison, while uncovering the dark and disturbing secrets buried beneath the surface of Callisto. Using a unique blend of shooting and close-quarters combat, Jacob will need to adapt his tactics to combat the rapidly evolving creatures while scavenging to unlock new weapons, gear, and abilities to outrun the growing threat and escape the horrors of Jupiter’s Dead Moon.

Farming Simulator 22 | PS5, PS4​

Weird West | PS5, PS4​

Discover a dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West where lawmen and gunslingers share the frontier with fantastical creatures, each playing with their own rules and their own peculiar motives in this isometric action RPG. The game supports different styles of play in a simulated sandbox world where characters, factions, and even places react to a player’s decisions, and players are faced with brutal choices and consequences that can’t be undone – including death. Discover the world through origin stories of different characters, moving from one character’s journey to the next until all converge in a final chapter.

RIP Striking Distance Studios

 

[Tsaki]

Weird West! Hell yeah

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Damn, my Callisto Protocol joining the ranks of Saint's Row 2022 in "the publisher needs money" PS Plus pantheon.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Callisto and Weird West, great month.

 

[delfrickintree]

down for Weird West, has been on my wishlist

 

[Lokaum D+]

fuck this Calisto, give me Lies of P or any real good game.

 

[Heisenberg007]

This is a fantastic month already! All 3 games are excellent additions.

Looking forward to the Extra Catalog now.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Really excellent month

 

[DeepEnigma]

Farming Simulator is the real one on that list.

Callisto? Excellent? Heis my man, no....

 

[mejin]

Solid month.

 

[R6Rider]

Really good month. One could even call it a banger.

 

[violence]

Sorry, It didn’t work out for striking distance. A lot of people are going to be playing the game in the month that it should’ve been released at least.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Damn, my Callisto Protocol joining the ranks of Saint's Row 2022 in "the publisher needs money" PS Plus pantheon.

We hardcore gamers and forum dwellers have our own bubble. Saint's Row was actually a big hit among PS Plus subscribers.

I haven't even downloaded Saints Row yet, but people really liked it on PS+.

 

[Dick Jones]

The Weird West is the game by the director of Prey, right?

Yea I find myself being more interested in the extra / premium selections. Usually some great stuff, if slightly older. They gotta pump out those classics though!

I was just browsing last night and saw Lawnmower Simulator. Made me question my entire existence being a simulation (happens daily)

Lawnmower Simulator is surprisingly addictive I may or may not have spent dozens of hours building a lawnmowing business empire and cutting grass with my Spotify playlist on the BG.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Callisto? Excellent? Heis my man, no....

FS'22 and Weird West are excellent games. Callisto has got a lot better after recent patches and is a very recent AAA release.

I do think these are excellent additions, when we usually get no-name indies and sports games.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Shit that’s pretty good.

 

[Unknown?]

Farming Simulator is the real one on that list.

I smell a tie in movie! "Watch the true story of a city kid playing Farming Simulator and becoming a REAL farmer!" *Made by the makers of Gran Turismo.

 

[Mossybrew]

Definitely down to check out Weird West when I have more time.

Now do the same for Goat Simulator!

[phant0m]

Is Callisto even worth playing? Or is it pure waste of time like Saints Row?

I don't think anything can be as bad as Saints Row.

 

[Sethbacca]

Solid month. Weird west is a good time. I played a bit of it on game pass.

 

[splattered]

Hell yeah i'll take these thank you very much.

Except farming simulator... but that's just me.

 

[Mobilemofo]

Farming simulator the real MVG. Lovely stuff.

 

[Aenima]

Farming Simulator is the real one on that list.

I know Farming Simulator is kind of a meme. But the game is actually pretty good if you are into driving machines, tractors, trucks, etc. It has a shitload of all kinds of vehicles and machines, not only for farming, and even have mod support on consoles. I dunno how good or bad Farming Sim 22 is, but i played the 19 version back when was also ofered on PS+ and got adicted to the game for a month. I tried a bunch of other "whaterver Sim" games, and none came closer to the quality or amount of content Farming Sim offers.

Agreed. These games are great to get lost in for hours when you want to be laid back and chill.

Whats was number 1

 

[MikeM]

Good month for me!

Is Callisto even worth playing? Or is it pure waste of time like Saints Row?

Callisto is worth playing for free. The main game ends on a cliffhanger that is resolved with the Final Transmission dlc. I would recommend playing the initial game and ignoring the final dlc because it is terrible.

Accept the cliffhanger ending as the definitive ending. Final Transmission ruined my perception of the game, but I won't deny I thoroughly enjoyed the initial experience.
Also they did numerous patches/"fixes" in response to gameplay criticisms that immensely deteriorated the feel of the gameplay. If you can play the v1.0 version do it.

 

[theHFIC]

Thank you for the sacrifice. Ready for Callisto Protocol.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Weird West is a pleasant surprise; was meaning to get it during an upcoming sale but now I don't have to.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Whats was number 1

Battlefield 2042.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Decent list. Not one I'd scream for yet is filled with games I've been wanting to try.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

 

[LectureMaster]

Not too shabby actually.

Having been wanting to try Weird West, heard it's directly from Raphaël Colantonio, the director of Dishonored series, which is my favorite video game series.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Don’t sleep on Weird West. That’s the real Arkane.

 

[Kusarigama]

Super excited for Weird West. I'll try out Callisto Protocol just because it's a graphical showpiece

 

[ReBurn]

I played Weird West on gamepass. It was pretty good. I wanted to try Callisto Protocol but never got around to it. So that's cool.

 

[engstra]

Pretty good month. I look forward to try out Callisto. Obviously it didn't live up to expectations but I'm sure I'll still enjoy my time with it. Weird West I've been curious on many sales but never pulled the trigger so that's a nice addition.

 

[SportsFan581]

Nice set of games. I'll probably try out Callisto. I wonder how bad that plays on PS4.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I may get around to Weird West, already got Callisto from the bargin bin. I'm have a good enough time with it for what I paid.

 

[T-Cake]

Had a quick play of the opening sequence of Callisto Protocol. Really, really good. Definitely can see the Dead Space vibes and it got me really excited. Hopefully I will enjoy it but waiting for the sun to bugger off. This game needs to be played at night.

MY PLOW IS AUGMENTED

 

[Shakka43]

Loving Callisto Protocol. Now I'm sad that it was a commercial failure and the chances of a sequel are pretty much zero.
Kinda reminds me of The Order 1886 and Dark Sector, games that had a solid foundation but failed to reach high enough of an audience to guarantee further improvements through posible sequels.

 

[Aenima]

Also playing Calisto now and enjoying it quite alot.
