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.

I will keep this short and sweet as to not give spoilers. The game sets up a massive sci-fi epic involving a mysterious hive mind, time-traveling agents, and eldritch horrors, only to pivot sharply into a personal melodrama about one "man’s" inability to let go of his lover. I might have given this a recommend if they had tried to achieve the plot pivot intelligently but they couldn't even manage that. Instead the developers made the man (a hyper-intelligent entity) completely incompetent/irrational just so they could get the emotional ending they wanted. And while I am sure that kind of thing works for a lot of people, it's an extremely lazy workaround for a script that couldn't find a way for the hero to win logically. What an epic waste. My time played is for two complete playthroughs (second on Hard difficulty) in order to not only finish up achievements but get the "true ending." In hindsight it was definitely not worth doing. [b]TLDR[/b]: Instead of a war against the future of humanity, we got a domestic dispute across time. Anticlimactic, rushed, and a waste of a great premise.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 31: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

DONT BUY THE GAME IF YOU HAVE LESS THEN 12GB RAM! Cronos: The New Dawn looks great, but it runs like a nightmare. I play tons of open‑world games on 2K, high settings, DLSS, 100+ FPS — Dying Light 2, Rust, Arc Raiders, Cyberpunk 2077 — and none of them choke my GPU the way Cronos does. This game absolutely devours VRAM for no reason. I have 7.7 GB usable VRAM, and somehow Cronos manages to spike itself to 8.2-8.5 GB on LOW settings. Let me repeat that: LOW settings, and 1080p the game is already overflowing VRAM like it’s a 2026 tech demo running on a potato. Meanwhile: Dying Light 2 → 2K, High, DLSS, smooth Rust → 2K with scaling, stable Arc Raiders → 2K medium high Cyberpunk 2077 → 2K, High, DLSS, 100 FPS Pretty much every other open‑world game I play is totally fine but this is not even open world game! Cronos is the only game that instantly slams my VRAM into the red and becomes unplayable. Stutters, freezes, drops — the whole package. And that’s the sad part: The game could be great. It looks great. I actually want to finish it someday. But right now, the optimization is so bad that even low-end settings can’t save it.
Great 3rd person action horror game with some old style item management to boot! Played through on the normal difficulty and felt like it balance the challenge nicely. The early game was definitely survival horror-esque up until the midway mark where you get enough upgrades that makes it more feel like action horror. The story was pretty cool and the atmosphere and world of the game is engaging with both interesting logs from people and also voice messages. Combat feels similar to Resident Evil 4 in all the best ways. I will say though that some of the environmental upgrades you get aren't fleshed out in more interesting ways but doesn't detract from the experience. Going to enter some spoilers her: [spoiler] I finished the game with one ending out of three, to get the true ending you have to play the whole game again on new game +, so be prepared if that's your thing. The new game+ mode doesn't bring anything new to the game, you're just replaying the same game with all your current gear, which feels a bit boring. Outside of that the sections of the game you go to are artisticly cool but also boring in the ways of horror tropes, as a sci fi game it couldn't have been a bit more imaginative, but i'm just being nitpicky. The only other thing i'll mention is that no new enemy types appear in the last 3rd of the game, and start to become a bit repetitive towards the end but not enough to make it boring luckily.[/spoiler] Lastly the game ran great, being it's an unreal engine game! barely any stuttering and never any stuttering during combat! Definitely recommend if you love modern horror games like resident evil 4 or resident evil requiem.
Extremely boring. What starts off strong ends up being the exact same thing you experience in the game from start to finish, ranging from the same 2 enemies with a new one thrown in every couple of hours and the same puzzles which require you to go in the most elaborate circle. I tried pushing further and the story is bland, the main character is boring, and nothing really interests you or makes you wanna play it more the next day.
Игра интересная, но оптимизация полное говнище. В открытых больших локациях у тебя 100 фпс на высоких настройках, в некоторых закрытых падает до 40-30 и чем дальше тем хуже. Как настройки не меняй, ничего не изменяется.
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.
советую, но душновато спустя 3-4 часа игры,для фанатов resident evil,silent hill, Dead Space думаю стоит, жду dlc
Excelente juego, una joya en su género desde mi punto de vista. Muy buena su historia, las armas están bien, solo un poco lento, pero es necesario calcular bien los pasos en vista de la misión del prota y el ambiente hostil en donde se encuentra. pude sacar dos finales diferentes y los disfruté. ahora estoy esperando el DLC.
absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fantastic
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.
