Cronos: The New Dawn

Incredible game for fans of the Dead Space and Silent Hill series. The sound design gives off strong Stranger Things vibes. My biggest issue is the dialogue pacing, it’s very slow and can make parts feel boring. It would be much better if the speech speed were more natural.

Absolutely unexpected jewel. If you are into S-Fi Horror, you will like this game. The graphics, animations, voice acting, music, sound design, and above all, the story are outstanding. This game is not what you come for, its better. I recommend playing it in DirectX 12 because the lighting completely transforms the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the optimization is poor, so it will demand a powerful PC. DirectX 11 is acceptable, but it changes completely the vibes of the game. That is the only thing they should improve. Masterpiece of a game.

Cronos: The New Dawn Review – Great Atmosphere, A Bit Repetitive As a big fan of sci-fi and cosmic horror, I really enjoyed Cronos: The New Dawn. It is a great mix of Lovecraftian atmosphere, Chernobyl-like disasters, and post-apocalyptic settings. Here is a quick breakdown of the pros and cons (in my opinion). THE GOOD: Great Atmosphere: The graphics are beautiful and perfectly show a ruined, creepy world. Balanced Pacing: The combat is satisfying and well-paced. Instead of relying on cheap jump scares, the game uses them sparingly but effectively, forcing you to stay alert and tense while exploring. Simple Weapons: The weapon selection is simple but effective. There is enough variety to fit your playstyle without being overwhelming. Good Length & Exploration: The game doesn't feel rushed. It rewards you for exploring, reading notes, and listening to audio logs. Interesting Story: The story is woven in a way that lets you piece the puzzle together and draw your own conclusions, even though the main plot line does satisfyingly unravel by the end. THE BAD: Confusing Moments: While the story flows well for the most part, it occasionally takes sharp turns that might make you second-guess yourself and wonder if you missed something crucial. Unoriginal Enemies: The game takes heavy inspiration from games like Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Silent Hill. Sometimes it feels like a direct copy. For instance, enemies overgrown with black veins feel a bit too familiar. Gun Reload: I get it, when you get out of bullets you need to reload, but it is very frustrating in a game to have to do this manually. When you run out of bullets, make te reload be automatic when you click to shoot, you still have to reload :P Repetitive Bosses: Some bosses are recycled multiple times with the exact same mechanics. It gets boring after the second or third time. It would be better to have fewer bosses that are completely unique—especially since the game has one amazing boss fight close to the end (no spoilers). Low Replay Value: Having multiple endings is a nice touch on paper. However, in the age of YouTube, I don't see much incentive to replay the entire game just to see a slightly different conclusion, especially when the endings don't diverge that drastically. FINAL VERDICT: Overall, the developers did a fantastic job delivering a deeply atmospheric action-horror experience. Despite a few frustrating moments, I am incredibly glad I saw this journey through to the end. In a way, those frustrating elements are just part of the survival horror charm.

советую, но душновато спустя 3-4 часа игры,для фанатов resident evil,silent hill, Dead Space думаю стоит, жду dlc

Интересно

Astonishing Masterpiece. Great Story, atmosphere and gameplay. Enjoyed every second of it. Such is our Calling.

absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fantastic

Awesome survival horror game with a story that captivated me. Had to turn my settings down some, made my rig run a bit warm. Looking forward to replaying for other endings and to achievement hunt, as well as the new DLC. The resource management took some getting used to, and you'll kick yourself over missing shots at the beginning until you are more established. But don't give up or get discouraged. Such is our calling.

No map really makes playing this damn game a chore, I spent more time running around using the pointless little compass at the top trying to figure out my objectives backtracking than I did actually playing the game

Phenomenal survival horror experience. As expected from a Bloober team game, the story is excellent and right up their alley. However, the gameplay here is actually very well made as a survival horror entry combining dead space and newer resident evil mechanics - it's rare to see a Bloober team game have gameplay shine so bright, but it is very welcome.
