Cronos: The New Dawn

What an amazing experience this was! As a huge Dead Space 1 and 2 (we don't talk about Dead Space 3) fan, Cronos: The New Dawn gave me just about everything I love about those games, and then some more. It's dark, it's gritty, it's violent and tense. The sound design and overall atmosphere are stellar, and they really pull you in! The combat is very engaging and at times quite stressful, as there isn't always enough ammo and resources. The game often gives you just enough to get by, having you on the edge constantly, and I enjoyed that. As for bugs, crashes, or poor performance, I didn't have any of that. Not a single crash or bug of any kind during my first (and only, for now!) playthrough. The game was also very consistent in terms of fps, which was a very pleasant surprise, considering the engine its running on. In short, the performance was very good for me on my system, playing in 4K with DLSS on 'balanced', RTX off, and everything else cranked. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who likes Dead Space, as well as games with dark, thick, almost palpable atmosphere. There's plenty of that on offer here! The story is intriguing as well, and the game just plain and simple looks amazing and plays joyfully. For me, personally, this is one of the better games in recent years.

Шляпа, медленно, темно, боевка стремная. Вот играл в Деад спес все части. Было интересно, но это нудятина, шляпа полная, не интересно. Скучно..Удаляю. Пары часов гейма хватило.

Picked this up during the summer sale, and I couldn't be more happy. I love survival horror. From my first entry into Racoon City, Silent Hill, or even the USG Ishimura, I've been hooked. Stepping into New Dawn brought back all those memories and executed them to my complete satisfaction. If you played and loved any of those games, you will love Cronos. Pet. Every. Cat. Such is our calling.

the spiritual successor to dead space that we deserved

简单难度体验很好，没有弹药问题，打起来很爽，环境气氛不错，但其实也没有特别突出的亮点

[b]Tl;dr:[/b] Confusing story but pretty good survival horror. [b]Pros:[/b] + Great atmosphere + Good weapon variety, charged shots felt good + Soundtrack and ambient sounds were awesome + Voice acting was decent + Body horror was pretty good [b]Cons:[/b] - Bolt cutter gimmick was unnecessary and tedious - Lame protagonist. probably due to involvement from woke consultant company Hit Detection - There was no reason to upgrade flamer fuel - Felt like there should have been a defensive move/item or at least a quick turn around - Needed a mod to improve performance (ultimate engine tweaks on nexus) - Confusing story [b]Closing Thoughts:[/b] I waited for this to go on a good sale (got it for $25 on instant gaming) because I didn't care for their SH2 remake but this looked interesting. I never played Dead Space so I can't compare. Enjoyed it overall and might check out the upcoming DLC. On the bolt cutter mechanic: it serves no purpose because every door with a chain is not far from a stash. So you come across the door, run to stash and get bolt cutters, run back to door and unlock it, run back to stash and put away bolt cutters. Same with the flamer fuel, you get them free at save rooms. Also, if you decide to use the Elster mod to swap out the protagonist model, be aware that it crashes the game toward the end and you'll have to switch out. Otherwise worked great for the rest.

Highly recommended if you played dead space! 9/10

8.5 out of 10 A fantastic horror game held back by a few frustrating design choices. Overall I had a great time with this game, That said I do believe this game could of EASILY have been a 10/10. To keep my complaints short and to the point, The lack of a map. I found the lack of map more frustrating than I found it to make the game more "Difficult". The lack of save points or suspend save was frustrating especially when I would be lost some where in the map and needed to stop playing but could NOT save. (not everyone can leave their pcs or console's running.) Another Annoyance was the Translation in the game. ESPECIALLY the hospital area. I found myself having to get within inches of a sign for it to translate eventually... The Boss fights I found to be a mixed bag. Several of them had mechanics that weren't communicated well. Forcing me to look up guides just to understand how I COULD actually beat them. Challenging bosses are GREAT but the solution should come from the game itself, not google. The gore at times was a bit over done and I do understand that was part of the process of this "virus" and I understand that was what the game was going for aesthetic wise but the sheer amount of blood, flesh, veins, vessels etc on the walls, floors and ceilings was definitely a bit too much overall to my liking. The voice acting and Motion capture acting. WHAT WAS THAT AT TIMES?! It went from pretty solid to OG RE1 Levels of bad acting and performances...left me a bit stunned and confused at times to how a new Triple A game could have this kind of BAD quality acting and performance. If they had put just a bit more effort into their overall performances I feel that would've made this game EASILY 10X BETTER! Last criticism/ SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ PAST THIS POINT IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS! But Weronikas overall demise and ending. I hate that despite playing both outcomes theres not a SINGLE good ending for her. and made all the effort and some what emotional attachment i had to these characters feel like it was in vain with no pay off... So despite ALL of those criticisms. I had a LOT of fun. and I did find the story VERY intriguing and leaving me wanting to know more about what happens next. if they would fix all of those issues, then the next game would easily be something more special!

游戏背景，美术，恐怖感拉满。迫使我放生鼠标好几次QAQ，不过优化确实拉跨，掉帧严重。如果忽略优化问题感觉能到8/10这样。
