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.

"Cronos: New Dawn оставила у меня в целом положительные впечатления. Сразу видно, что игра сильно вдохновлена Dead Space: чувствуется и атмосфера, и общий стиль, и многие игровые решения. Ничего принципиально нового разработчики не придумали, но при этом игре всё же удаётся увлечь. Примерно после середины прохождения становится немного однообразно. Игра перестаёт подкидывать новые идеи, враги в основном повторяются, из-за чего появляется ощущение затянутости. В Dead Space подобная формула, на мой взгляд, работала лучше благодаря более интересной физике и общей механике сражений. Тем не менее у Cronos: New Dawn есть свои сильные стороны. У неё получилась собственная атмосфера, которая не ощущается простой копией. Если подводить итог, то это своеобразный духовный наследник Dead Space — немного более бюджетный, без революционных идей, но достаточно качественный и способный подарить удовольствие поклонникам жанра."
9/10 Survival Horror und sehr gute Performance
6 Ore Penso che le recensioni negative dipendano esclusivamente da 2 fattori: 1) E' un gioco che fatica a girare anche sui PC di fascia alta. I numerosi cali di Frame infastidiscono parecchio. Io ho una 3070Ti ma anche con una 5060Ti la situazione non credo sia troppo troppo diversa. Si i miei 8GB incideranno, ma Il gioco è pesante di suo. Non credo esista un modo per giocarlo al top senza ricorrere al DLSS o al Frame Generator. 2) Io lo sto giocando in modalità facile (appena aggiunta perché al lancio non c'era) credo che un combat system del genere senza una modalità semplificata risulti solamente frustrante e non impegnativo. Chi l-ha giocato al lancio deve averlo trovato eccessivamente punitivo. In conclusione, se il gioco rimane così com'è per tutta la sua durata senza picchi di difficoltà estrema per me sarà un piccolo capolavoro.
в игре есть мой дом из ебеней
Really enjoyed it, atmosphere and gameplay was superb
Справедливости ради я думал что игра представляет из себя немного другое,но Bloober team сделали буквально ремейк silent hill 2,но с другой моделькой. Звук,дизайн локаций и в целом атмосфера крутейшие. Приятно удивлён игрой и жду DLC крЭпкая 8
It was a good experience. The fights felt too stiff for me but after a few attempts at certain sections I managed to get a hang of it.
Not at all what I expected, but turns out to be a great game!
This game already feels like peak survival horror. Definitely getting invested already but it played like absolute crap on my laptop thats got a i9 13980HX and 4070 (8GB VRAM) 16GB RAM. Constantly stuttering and major ghosting no matter what i did… swapped over to my desktop with a i7 13700k and 5070ti (16GB VRAM) 32GB RAM and it immediately played better BUT im running a 32:9 5120x1440p super ultrawide and it had ghosting. Oddly enough, i turned on DSR factors and bumped the resolution up to 7680 × 2160 turned on ray tracing and bumped dlss up to quality and its smoother looks better and performance better. I’m not a tech genius but its super odd that making the game more demanding made it a better experience. Im not mad at all though because the game looks absolutely amazing with these settings. As for gameplay so far. The progression is feeling good and drawing me in, exploration already seems good and the dread oh man i can feel the pressure with low ammo and stims. Excited to keep playing. Will hopefully remember to update my review with some decent time in later but so far I can recommend it and can tell itll be a great game if you got a beefy pc. If you are running specs near my laptops or less. Pass on it or play it on console, i have read that it’s optimized well there.
I enjoyed this game, story is okay but it had some fun moments.
