Eh, tbh I got kind of bored of the original Crysis about halfway through... but that's neither here nor there.

Despite Callisto being trashed on at launch for performance issues and "this is just Dead Space" shovel reviews, that game is great. A lot of folks didn't like the combat mechanics, which i didn't understand, and I was able to get used to them very quickly. I played through twice and actually got all of the achievements, which is something I never do. I really liked the setting, characters and much of the story. I may even play it again at some point.

On the flip side I didn't even finish Dead Space 3... I think Origin broke my saves way back whenever I played it and I was just kind of like... cool.

Callisto combat was pretty basic once you got the hang of it...hold a or d and alternate them based on which way the enemy is swinging. Then melee or heavy melee. I just didn't like how it made it difficult to also shoot at the same time because it kind of locked you into the melee animation or frames. For example it wasn't easy to back up quickly if I ren out of ammo and needed to reload.

I liked Callisto, I think they got the atmosphere down right and the setting where you visit different areas of the station was cool. I finished it but will play it once they release the dlc that is supposed to continue story.
