DLC #206 - The Callisto Protocol - New Game Plus

It doesn't happen very often at all, but it's strange completing DLC for games where I haven't even had the chance to review the Platinum yet. Especially when they're story-driven.

I can't really talk about the game in detail, because there would be no point in reviewing the Platinum, yet in this instance, I've already beaten the Callisto Protocol 3 times and have a very strong sense of familiarity with the game.

So, how did we get here? There's a horribly glitched trophy within the main list, which requires you to upgrade a single gun - Something you should be able to do fairly early within your first playthrough of the game.

However, 3 full playthroughs and 4 fully upgraded guns later and I still don't have that trophy. The issue is well documented and there is a strong possibility at this point that I'll have to upgrade everything in the game in order to unlock it, and that's going to require a few more runs of the game. Access denied, for now.

Naturally, this'll be a little bit out of sync, and there's a possibility a few more DLC packs may be completed before we even get round to talking about the main list.

New Game Plus was added to the game as the first DLC pack, and comes with just a single trophy. All you need to do is beat the game on New Game Plus - Unlocked after beating the game once on any difficulty and the mode works exactly how you expect New Game Plus to work.

You carry over all your weapon upgrades, money and resources, and you can also play on any difficulty level for the purpose of unlocking this trophy. There are greater challenges to be had amongst all the DLC released for the Callisto Protocol, so I kept this simple and played on Minimum Security difficulty, which is the lowest of the 3 difficulty levels.

The game is significantly less challenging between the combination of playing on the lowest difficulty level as well as being able to carry through upgraded weapons, which you can continue to further upgrade as you go through. This'll be useful for some of the other runs later on and I also managed to beat the game in just over 7 hours in New Game Plus, so it's not like the game's demanding too much from you.

I'm not sure exactly when we'll be able to discuss the main game in detail, but it does change the way you have to review DLC which involves playing through different variations of the game, so I'm hoping we can align things as quickly as possible.
