Eu fechei o jogo. Com muita calma, 41.7 horas registradas, fui no "passo-a passo" lendo tudo o que tinha nele. Jogando e saboreando tudo o que esse jogo oferece: EU RECOMENDO!! O jogo deu bastante sustos, efeitos e gráficos de "tirar o fôlego". Não irei dar "spoils" sobre o jogo, porém é uma trama bem interessante, mais de um final. Agora que abri o jogo "+", não quero jogar novamente no modo "normal", escolhi o difícil e prosseguirei como quando fechei outros jogos semelhantes, com histórias diferentes, como "Dead Space remake" de 2023 e o fantástico jogo "The Callisto Protocol, que tem final vendido separadamente", o "Final Transmition". São também jogos que tenho na coleção, recomendo para amigos e colegas da Steam. Bom, sou autista e tenho 47 anos, prolixo que não sabe se expressar em "poucas palavras". Agradeço desde já o pessoal que conseguiu ler a minha análise até o fim! Valeu.
I understand now why there has been little to no chatter about this game. It has been out for a while (a year!?) and I haven't seen a single let's play or survival horror gamer play it. The reason is that it is quite run of the mill and has a confusing story line. I get that the time travel necessarily makes things a bit complicated, but the story literally makes no sense if you think about it for a second. It borrows heavily from other games, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and especially Dead Space. It is not a bad game, it is just not great. It is deliberately slow and very stingy on resources and even on normal level it is quite difficult. I ran out of patience at about the half-way point. I would not recommend it for most people, only for those that enjoy a challenge, the require their games to not be hand holdy and want to scrounge for every single bullet and resource to be able to finish.
Ни в коем разе, ска, не покупайте это недоразумение. В первые два часа, ещё кажется, что у игры есть какая-то своя эстетика, своя атмосфера, свой, простите ВАЙБ. Но, к сожалению, это дикий цыганский обман. Вся игра происходит в скучных, скудных, серых и монотонных говно-постройках. В игре вообще почти нет никакой интересной, запоминающейся локации (ну, разве только Больница). Патронов в дефиците, а если ты думаешь, что у тебя наступает их профицит, то ты заблуждаешься, блеядь. Это обман. Скоро тебя закинут на душную арену и ты проебёшь ВООБЩЕ все патроны. Сбежать от монстров, чтобы сэкономить - не получится. Игра - копирка абсолютно все возможных сур. хорроров. От дед спейса, до резика (причём ресурсов мало, как в ремейках 2 и 3, а накидывают врагов, как в резике 4) Это просто ущербная игра. Была бы она человеком - её стоило вывести головой, как Серсею Ланнистер и кричать вездесущим голосом - ПОЗОР. ПОЗОР ♥♥♥♥♥. ГОВНО. ГОВНО ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Просто нет слов, насколько это ужасная и скучная ♥♥♥♥♥♥. НА КОЙ ♥♥♥ Я ПОТРАТИЛ СВОИ КРОВНЫЕ И ПРОВЁЛ В НЕЙ БОЛЬШЕ ДВУХ ЧАСОВ? ОТВЕТ - УБИЛ. -100 из 10, ♥♥♥♥♥

I originally started this game when it released and could never get into it. After a year I decided to come back and finish it and now I regret not finishing it the first time round. The story is insanely good and gets better the further it goes on and peaks in the ending. A beautiful addition to the survival horror genre and is up there with my favourite resident evils and dead space!
Mind-bending graphics, atmosphere, sound design, and level design. The environments are oppressive, surreal, and constantly fascinating to explore. The combat is simple and fairly generic, but still fun. The weapons feel amazing, resource management creates tension, and the encounters work well within the survival-horror structure. From the beginning, the mystery completely hooked me. I wanted answers to the main questions the game encourages you to ask: What is the Collective? Where does it come from? What is the true origin of the disease? What caused the catastrophic weather? How are these things connected? These are not minor background details. They are the foundation of the setting. The game spends hours building intrigue around these enormous, world-ending mysteries. Then, instead of explaining its universe, it shifts its focus almost entirely to a personal obsession involving a few characters whose importance initially seemed to come from their connection to the larger mystery. The major revelations amount to things like “the Warden was the Pathfinder,” but that means very little when the game never properly explains who the Pathfinder was, where he came from, what the Collective is, or how his original mission relates to the wider situation. There is a difference between leaving room for interpretation and refusing to answer the most crucial questions the plot encourages the player to ask. Ambiguity can add depth after a story has established a coherent foundation. Here, there is barely any foundation at all. Nearly every explanation leads to another undefined concept. The presentation is incredible. The atmosphere is unforgettable. The underlying premise had enormous potential. But all that exploration, mystery, and anticipation ultimately led nowhere. Cronos doesn’t feel mysterious in a rewarding way. It feels incomplete and pointless.
Bardzo lubię gry tego typu, niektóre z nich przeszedłem parę razy. Ale... Przy Chronos zdarzyło mi się coś, czego wcześniej nie miałem - mianowicie niedosyt. Nie jest to krótka gra, nie w tym przypadku. Zakończenie nie daje mi spokoju. Gram od razu po raz drugi. Czuję, że będę chciał ją przejść i po raz trzeci pod rząd. Może i piszę enigmatycznie, ale nie chcę za bardzo spojlerować. Moim zdaniem bardzo dobrze przemyślana jest fabuła i wszystko nabiera sensu na koniec - jak z filmem Dom nad jeziorem. Dużo jest niedopowiedzeń. Można też przechodzić tę grę nie wgłębiając się zbytnio, ale nie warto. Wszystko trzeba samemu połączyć, co wydaje się na przed końcem gry trochę niespójne i pokręcone. Chwilę później po zakończeniu miałem przebłysk. Załapałem. Wszystko od początku nabrało pełniejszego sensu. Wtedy "otworzyłem oczy". Właśnie doprowadziłem do takich wydarzeń... Na początku jesteśmy tylko jakimś wędrowcem bez przeszłości i z jasno nakreślonym celem. Czy aby na pewno? Czy tak miało się to potoczyć? Czy to już się wcześniej wydarzyło, a może wydarzy się od nowa na wskutek naszych wyborów? Może mam bzika na punkcie paradoksu czasu. Wreszcie ktoś zrobił to jak trzeba i nie daje mi to spokoju. Jeśli ktoś lubi takie tematy - must have. Jeśli lubisz taki klimat jak dead space - must have. Na prawdę wielki ukłon dla twórców tej gry. Spodziewałem się prostego hororu strzelanki z mrocznym klimatem. Odkryłem kolejne dno. Nie wiem jak głęboko to sięga, ale zamierzam sprawdzić. Czasem mniej znaczy więcej i tak jest w tym przypadku. Plus jeszcze coś dla starych wyjadaczy pamiętających czasy prl-u - mogą się odezwać wspomnienia z młodości (taka ciekawostka). Tak, ta gra przenosi nie tylko bohatera do przeszłości, czasem może przenieść na chwilę niektórych z nas. Pozdrawiam i wracam do gry ;)
Este es uno de esos casos donde se nota el cariño en todos y cada uno de los apartados, en ningún momento este juego tiene desperdicio, evidentemente no es un juego perfecto (casi), pero no decepciona. Es triste saber que esto paso sin pena, ni gloria, pero se entiende por que este juego sabe cual es su publico y eso no le resta nada en absoluto. Cada apartado es casi impecable, ambientación, historia, gemeplay, todo esta finamente construido y da gusto ver cuando todo tiene sentido. Juego bastante infravalorado y no apto para ese publico donde ya están acostumbrados a que te lleven de la mano. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☐ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☑ Significant brain usage ☑ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☑ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☑ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐10 Masterpiece
Runs terrible for me with unpredictable stuttering on Medium graphics at 1920x1080. I set the framerate cap at 60fps, but stuttering still happens. The VSYNC option is this game is weird? It's not "ON/OFF", but you have to set an interval. I also noticed that changing anything related to framerate (VSYNC or cap) made the gameplay run even worse until I restarted; the menus were clearly still 60fps. The other disappointment is that my character has a voice. You play as a woman and she sounds a little as though she is impersonating Robocop. Just not what I expected, I thought I'd be a voice-less armor that just shoots monsters, but if I have to play as a voiced protagonist I'd have liked her to sound more normal. But just to be clear, this isn't a dealbreaker, the technical issues are the reason I am not recommending this game. I apologize for requesting the refund, but this was the most expensive game I purchased during this Summer Sale and it's the only one that doesn't work properly, so I just feel really bad about it.
This Might be the most underwhelmed I've been by a game, ever. Now Cronos is not a bad game not at all. I just had a lot of high expectations. The game looks great and there a lot of cool and horrifying visuals. But the gameplay just feels so bland and repetetive, I would also say that the game is too long for it's own good. I felt like things finally started to get interesting about 60% through the game, so remove some of the filler beforehand and I think that the game would have felt a lot better to play through. The foundation is great but the game really doesn't do anything else that well. it's more that there are a lot of small design issues or bad decisions that just keep stacking on top of eachother that hurt the experience. Basically I think that this game is worth getting if you think it looks like fun, but I really recommend that you watch some sort of review so that you have an idea of what to expect, unlike me. If you think that the game looks like fun then I do recommend that you buy it on a 50% sale or more (:
