error code 5999 optimization not found# Well, I thought Borderlands 4 was poorly optimized and a prime example of everything that goes wrong with UE5. But then I played Cronos, and what can I say, it’s the game with the worst performance I’ve ever played. I can’t say anything about the gameplay yet, but the performance is buried somewhere in the Mariana Trench. And I can't understand why the game compiles shaders, because it stutters and jerks every few steps you take. It's unbelievable that they would release something like this and not at least fix it later. It really makes you wonder if you should even buy future Bloober games. I’m definitely skipping the announced DLC.
I haven't really played much horror games, so this one scared the hell out of me during the first half. But even after getting past that, the game was super engaging and interesting. Absolutely would recommend. The world building, atmosphere and story are some of the best from this decade in my opinion. The combat was also very satisfying and progression felt good.
Nevím no...ten fighting system je tak zkurveně pomalej že mi je zle.
Awful. Boring, no map, terrible combat
Já tinha zerado o pirata no lançamento mas comprei o game agora para platinar. É basicamente uma mistura entre Dead Space e Silent Hill. Acho que o que faz o jogo ser único é justamente a ambientação dele, gostei muito de ver essa Polônia destruída que parou no tempo. A história é muito boa e tem uns plot twists bizarros, e a trilha sonora tem seus bons momentos. Recomendo
I really like this game. The atmosphere, aesthetic and setting is amazing. The game doesn’t have side quests, but optional paths are extremely worth exploring. Unskippable cutscenes ruining replay value. Certainly on par with any horror game on the market in terms of quality.
A fun survival horror mixing elements of Dead Space, Resident Evil, and Singularity. While the game doesn't necessarily do anything revolutionary for the genre since there are only so many ways people can ♥♥♥♥ their pants (unless the technology just isn't there yet), it was enjoyable from start to end. I know some people will complain about backtracking, but honestly that has been an elemental in the survival horror genre for so long that it's almost to be expected, and is honestly a welcome respite to collect your thoughts on what you've done and what you're doing. To me the story was great. It has it's tropes, sure, but what game in the genre doesn't? There was a lot more dialog than I expected when I went in, and that combined with the environmental storytelling paints a bleak picture of past events leading up to bigger plot points. There was a decent amount of enemy variety, and the boss fights were fun without feeling unnecessarily frustrating. The real treat, however, were the environments themselves and the accompanying ambient noise and enemy sounds. The squishing noises in the background and the screams of enemies lurking around corners never got old no matter how much sense of dread there was. Good story, good gameplay, and a good length. Definitely worth a play.
Trash performance and combat is really annoying.
7.5/10 - Dead Space... with cats! The Good +Great retrofuturism vibes +Pretty interesting story +Collectibles/memos/logs are satisfying to find +Good sound design +Guns feel good with solid variety +You can pet cats! The Not So Good -Largely bland/repetitive enemies -Some chapters can feel repetitive and suffer from pacing issues -Protagonist is a bit forgettable, though solid (think a less interesting Selene from Returnal) Still scratches the Dead Space and RE4 itch, but could've been so much more.
Paying attention pays off! A very enjoyable but slow game, which means it won't be for everybody. It really opens up when approached with patience and mindfulness, resources are scarce and you are easily killed, however the game is not as hard as it might appear if you play it smart and be patient. Listen and pay attention to your surroundings, don't rush into it. Same can be said for the story, the story is decent but subtle in some ways - a significant chunk of it is in journals/recordings you find as you explore. The game is also very atmospheric, there's something unique to the feeling of the heavy footsteps as you slowly trudge along the dusty ruins of a world long gone. The heavy and unsettling look of the protagonist does a lot of heavy lifting for setting the atmosphere.
