About
Cronos: The New Dawn is a brutal third-person survival horror where you fight for the future by salvaging the past. Burn monsters before they merge. Extract souls from the living. Adapt or die.

Set in a grim world where Eastern European brutalism meets retro-futurist technology, Cronos: The New Dawn lets you experience a gripping story that straddles the line between past and future.
In the past, you will witness a world in the throes of The Change, a cataclysmic event that forever altered humanity. Meanwhile, in the ravaged wastelands of the future, every moment is a fight for survival against dangerous abominations that will test both your reflexes and your tactical thinking.
You are a Traveler working for the enigmatic Collective, tasked with scouring the wastelands of the future in search of time rifts that will transport you to 1980s-era Poland.

In a desolate world filled with ever-present danger, your survival hinges on your ability to strategize and plan ahead. The enemies you’ll encounter are nightmarish creatures, born from the remnants of humanity – defeating them will require you to make full use of your arsenal.
You can manipulate temporal Anomalies to clear a path through the desolate environment, and will have to scavenge for resources to replenish your limited ammo and supplies. Good preparation is key. Once in battle, split-second decisions can mean the difference between life
and death.
The creatures you kill won’t stay dead for long. Fallen enemies can be absorbed by others — through a grotesque process called Merging — to become faster, tougher, and far deadlier.
The only way to stop them? Burn their bodies. And do it fast.
If you don’t, you’ll face ever-evolving abominations that will push your combat skills to their limits.

Your mission is to locate key people from the past who perished in the ensuing apocalypse. Using your all-powerful Harvester, you can extract their Essences and have them accompany you into the future.
But be wary: these essences have a profound impact on your journey.
The more you carry, the more haunted your suit becomes — increasing your prowess on the battlefield but also bringing with them whispers in your ear and flickers into your vision, edging you ever closer to madness.

Толковый хоррор.
好游戏,如果你喜欢死亡空间或者生化危机那么推荐游玩。 子弹一周目正常难度是够用且溢出的,关于格子问题一方面确实是格子就是比较少另一方面是游戏设置子弹的堆叠很小导致格子不够用 游戏的恐怖氛围营造的很好,场景的诡异感非常棒,但是会有跳脸杀(个人非常讨厌跳脸,私认为这种设计就是偷懒
Все что игра может предложить это постоянно запирать игрока в маленькой комнате и выкидывать на него волны врагов, а так как патронов мало ты будешь бегать по кругу и ждать восстановления бочек. Ооочень на любителя. Хотели сделать свой dead space, получилось как обычно.
Essa é nossa missão.
真不错!
Мы потеряли Dead Space и Calisto Protocol, но обрели Cronos! Игра дает именно то что требуется от жанра survival horror, ни больше ни меньше. 10/10
This was my first inventory management survival horror game, and I honestly enjoyed it. Cronos: The New Dawn feels like a happy marriage between Resident Evil and the first Dead Space. I played the game on GeForce NOW with a controller, and it ran well after a few minor graphics adjustments. Overall, the gameplay and story never overstayed their welcome, making for a well-paced experience. There are a couple of flaws, though these are strictly my personal opinions. By the middle of the game, you're much better equipped with stronger and more efficient weapons. Because of that, it felt like Bloober relied more on cheap jump scares and the Essence haunting. When it comes to horror games or movies, I prefer suspense that's built gradually rather than horror that depends on jump scares. Another issue was the navigation UI. Some sections require you to backtrack, but the map and navigation felt overly simplified and, at times, confusing. I often found myself getting lost while trying to figure out where to go next. Overall, despite those issues, I had a great time with Cronos: The New Dawn.
Boring... Annoying... Drags... It has good graphics and they fixed most of the performance issues. I tried to like it but it's too slow of a game for me. If you like inventory management and turning over every single rock for a bullet then this game is for you.
Amazing game that I'm really glad I played. This game starts off strong with some kickass music and carries that through the whole game. If you like Resident evil or silent hill this game feels like a mix of them but set in space. Long game but I still wanted more..... Looking forward to dlc.
6/10 Cronos aims for Dead Space, but doesn't quite reach those heights. The enemy design is a little run-of-the-mill, and variety is lacking. Some of the enemies and level design are also frustrating where they will hide enemies that are fixed to walls so as soon as you come around a corner, they jump you into a quick time event. The difficulty is tuned just slightly too high with resources being more scarce in the first half of the game than they should be. Movement is slow and sluggish, and I found myself getting stuck on the environment numerous times and needing to reload. The game is extremely atmospheric and the overall combat is okay. The story teeters the line between interesting and convoluted - especially towards the end. It's a decent game if you are looking for a third-person survival horror and have already played some of the other bigger names. But I would recommend waiting until you see it for $20-$30.
