Excess leads to the tower of wisdom.
I like it a lot, but the pawn system is a bit of an hassle. You have to invest some time planning out and spec-ing and searching pawns, which makes it a bit complex.
It’s the new normal.
The Callisto Protocol that you played now is not how it originally released. It was patched and tweaked a lot.
Also the gameplay is flawed. See the combat system with more than one enemy and it gets wonky. One of the changes was exactly to make enemies less aggressive as before they would often gang up on you and lead to frustrating deaths.
I like The Callisto Protocol a great deal as well, but it is a game flawed in what matters most: the gameplay.
Consolidations, changing business direction, lack of funds and projects, etc.
