Cronos: The New Dawn

Fantastic game for anyone who loves Resident Evil. The resources you get, aswell as the inventory system is not as forgiving though, which makes for a more brutal and tight survival horror experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. Unlike in Resident Evil however, the enemies here are not complete bullet sponges. Anyways, I was actually gonna attempt to write a decent looking review but I got bored I guess. End of review. Strong 7,5 or 8/10.

First things first: Cronos is Dead Space. The combat's slower and the ammo's more scarce, but the mechanics are nearly identical (you even have that heavy stomp & hop between aerial platforms) and they share an atmosphere and a few similar plot points. However, that doesn't matter because Cronos is a fantastic game. Playing this back-to-back with Resident Evil Requiem, I can confidently say this is the better survival horror experience. Each corner is filled with dread as you nervously eye the meager handful of bullets you have to take down an inevitable barrage of vicious foes ahead. The gameplay loop is top-notch, rewarding exploration, and features some really decisive resource management. I never felt the game drag or felt unmotivated to push forward. Always holding your interest, Cronos is a challenging game that will require you remember enemy attacks, plan ammo dispersal and learn from your mistakes. Bloober is an interesting little developer that is slowly moving away from being a mid-tier studio making unpolished C+ games, to being a real contender in the video game space. In the past, I've been highly critical of their output and found games like The Medium & Blair Witch to be interesting but fundamentally flawed products. They seemed to have gained a fair bit of favor for their remake of Silent Hill 2, and while their take on the classic wasn't to my liking, I could see how well they had stepped up to challenge. Where Cronos falls short is the story. What begins as an intriguing mystery eventually devolves into a convoluted love story that draws heavily from 12 Monkeys that I couldn't be bothered to care about. However, the world-building and lore was fascinating and you're always itching to discover what is actually happened in the town of New Dawn and who these mysterious "Travelers" are. It's clear Bloober has set up Cronos for a sequel and I would be eager to see where it's headed... as long as they don't go the Dead Space sequels route. Worth the full price, but goes on sale often enough if you're only mildly curious.

Actually a very compelling survival horror with just the right sprinkling of resources that you always feel right on the edge of out of everything, but never cross it. Exploration is fun and rewarding and the combat is weighty and extremely satisfying. The story is also very fascinating, and it's fun to piece together bits of lore and being slammed with unexpected twists. I will still give the game a positive review for the overall experience, but I will say this game has genuinely one of the worst final boss fights of all time. It is extremely frustrating and obnoxious. I won't spoil what it is, but I'll say I chose my ending solely off how pissed I was at the last fight.

Disclaimer: From the time of this review i still havent finished the game, but damn does it check every box for a survival horror ive been craving for! Glen schofield whished he made this game. First off i want to start by saying that this game has everything a survival horror and dead space fan has! It has atmosphere, soundtrack, crazy looking enemy designs, a story that makes you question reality, level designs that put you on the edge of the seat and make you want to explore EVERYTHING!! Moreover, as a big survival horror and dead space fan, i feel like we havent gotten a true sci fi horror game since DS2, Yes we have gotten DS3 (which was ok but not horror) and The Callisto protocol (which was fun but was a bit of a disappointment), and yeah RE games came out but RE games are horror games with a twist of action and conspiracy so they are fun and im a massive fan but they arent like the Sci fi horror games which we NEED more of. The story here is a combination between Dead Space and Control, if you like these type of games then youre in for a treat! Overall i can only say amazing stuff about CTND, the only cons s to this game is that inventory is terrible and its very low making you go back and forth a few times to manage inventory, and that certain cutscenes crash the game so you have to skip them. Other than that, this game is absolutely fantastic! You should buy it!

Absolutely worth it crazy twists and turns and insane lore

Muy buen juego

Deserves WAY more recognition in amongst the survival horror genre. Its atmosphere and survival horror gameplay is VERY solid

Finished my 1st play through and loved it, feels like a great mix of resident evil and silent hill. Story was pretty confusing but it had a good gameplay loop and never really overstayed its welcome. Excited for the DLC.

Si Resident Evil et Dead Space avaient un enfant, version Annihilation (le film). Ce jeu est oppressant à souhait, avec des graphismes digne d'une fiction post-apo et une bande sonore parfaite pour angoisser en permanence. Et que dire des monstres ? Je suis habitué au genre, mais je redoute toujours d'en croiser un, ces horribles créatures étant aussi laides que des cadavres mutés, pouvant imiter la mort et fusionner entre elles. Et ce ne sont que les premières que j'ai croisé, je n'ai aucun doute quant au bestiaire qui au fil du temps ne fera que se renforcer. Je rédige cet avis assez prématurément après seulement 5 heures de jeu, mais des heures bien remplies au cours desquelles j'ai eut besoin de pauses pour reprendre mon souffle. Les décors sont bons, beaucoup de bâtiments en ruines avec des "anomalies", des trous noirs étranges que je n'explique pas. Le lore du jeu est difficile à comprendre pour le moment, mais tout comme le titre du jeu l'indique, je suis sûr qu'il est question du temps. De voyage et de contrôle dans le temps peut-être ? Nous incarnons une Voyageuse (et c'est agréable de pouvoir jouer un perso féminin pour une fois), à la recherche d'agents de sa propre organisation mystérieuse dans les années 80, en quête d'accomplissements de leurs objectifs qu'ils n'ont pas réussi à terminer à cause des attaques des Orphelins (le nom donné aux créatures). C'est étrange de suivre une aventure en étant équipé tel un mercenaire du futur alors qu'on explore les années 80, qui semblaient en proie à une épidémie étrange et un confinement sous la surveillance d'un état socialiste. Le sentiment de solitude est omniprésent pour le moment, la tension est constante, et les rares (heureusement) assauts de plusieurs mobs à la fois sont horribles (dans le bon sens, une sacrée flippe et un bon combat). J'ai déjà envie de relancer le jeu, mais je pense avoir besoin d'une pause, ahahah. En bref, pour les amoureux.ses de ce genre, je vous le recommande à fond, un bon survival-horror. Je joue sur un pc avec une config qui n'est pas forcément 100% adaptée au gaming, et pourtant avec quelques concessions et réglages, je n'ai eut aucun bug, crash, ni le moindre problème, exactement comme si je jouais à un jeu sur ma PS4 slim, un RE ou du The last Of Us Part II si je devais prendre un exemple pour le rendu graphique. D'ailleurs, mes paramètres ont rendus le jeu plus sombre que gris, comme si je jouais dans une nuit éternelle, et ça ajoute une atmosphère plus "puissante", qui renforce mes peurs. C'est génial. Je vous souhaite de bien vous amuser ! La bise.

物品欄太少了根本不夠用，我玩的還是最簡單的，場景太黑了，劇情還可以
