The Callisto Protocol’s Steam reviews are suffering as several users are reporting a stuttering frame rate on PC.
As reported by PC Gamer, the game’s Steam page currently has a mostly negative rating with just 29% of the 2,840 reviews being positive.
The Callisto Protocol is described as a “stuttering mess” by one user while another commented: “It’s pretty hard to get immersed when the game drops frames every time you go around a corner.”
Several of these users also claimed to be running The Callisto Protocol on high-end graphics cards including the RTX 3080, but even then the frame rate regularly drops significantly.
“Currently I can’t even walk through the opening area and turn a corner without stuttering on a 3080 with ray tracing off,” said another user. “Performance is not good at all right now.”
The Callisto Protocol was released on December 2 also on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Xbox One. Only the PC version appears to have frame rate issues so far, however, and even then it doesn’t appear to be affecting every user.
In our 7/10 review, IGN said: “The Callisto Protocol is a satisfyingly gory spiritual successor to the Dead Space series, but it’s ultimately more of a striking modern mimic than a scary new mutation.”
