Every Bullet Matters Cronos doesn't do anything revolutionary or particularly new. You can clearly see Dead Space, Resident Evil and Silent Hill in its DNA. But somehow it still feels different enough to stand on its own. Gameplay The best part of the game is easily its gameplay loop. This might be the only action survival horror game where I actually had to think before every fight. Every bullet matters, every healing item matters, and using the environment is often the smartest way to deal with enemies. I really liked this approach. Unlike many "survival" games where you're swimming in resources after a few hours, Cronos keeps the pressure on until the end. The enemies do get repetitive very fast. You start seeing the same ones over and over again. But honestly, I didn't mind it that much because the gameplay loop itself stayed fun throughout the game. The lack of a map is annoying though. Navigation can sometimes become confusing when you're trying to remember where to go. It did kill the fun a little bit for me. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3785725353 Story and Atmosphere The story and characters are definitely the weakest part of the game. They are just there, and I never really cared about what was happening. The game also throws in a few cheap jump scares here and there. Feels really lame. Final Thoughts Cronos is simply a fun survival horror game. It doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but it has its own identity thanks to its resource management and combat. Even with the repetitive enemies, weak story and lack of a map, I had a really good time. It may not be an amazing game, but I think it should get more recognition. If you enjoy survival horror games, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot.

Cronos The New Dawn feels like Dead Space and time travel got mixed together in the weirdest way possible and smh it turned out to be really good You play as a Traveler jumping between a ruined future and the past trying to collect essences from people and other travelers before everything goes completely wrong These essences aren't just things you pick up either, they're basically souls chilling inside your suit or head (idk) giving you buffs talking to you and sometimes making you wonder if you're seeing things or slowly losing it The atmosphere is easily one of the best parts of the game Every place feels creepy uncomfortable and full of danger Combat is built around one main rule Don't let the enemies merge If you do they turn into bigger stronger and uglier versions of themselves Watchin an enemy become a whole new problem because you looked away for three seconds is a lesson you only need to learn once The guns feel good to use and stay useful for the whole game which is something a lot of games struggle with The story was also a pleasant surprise Instead of making you read a hundred notes about cool things that already happened the game actually lets you see parts of those events yourself It keeps things interesting for most of the journey, the only time it gets messy is near the end when the time travel starts doing what time travel usually does and makes your brain go overtime And of course there are cats, smh in a world full of monsters and the end of humanity there are still cats walking around completely unbothered Honestly they might be the smartest characters in the whole game The biggest problem for me was the boss fights Some are fun but a few get reused a little too much After a while I started feeling like I was fighting the same guy wearing a different shirt There are also some stutters frame drops and small bugs here and there but nothing that completely ruined the experience What I appreciate most is that Bloober Team made something that feels like its own thing They didn't need an old franchise to carry it They created their own world their own story and their own identity and they absolutely delivered It's nice seeing a studio take a chance on a new idea and actually make it work Overall Cronos The New Dawn is a really good survival horror game with great atmosphere fun combat and a world that stays in your head long after you're done playing It has a few rough spots but the good stuff easily wins SUCH IS OUR CALLING Story 8.5/10 Combat 8/10 Atmosphere 9.5/10 Boss Fights 7/10 Performance 7.5/10 Overall 8.5/10
Score: 8/10 Definitely recommend. Atmosphere — 10/10 Suspense, music, visuals — everything works perfectly. This is the strongest part of the game. Story — 9/10 The story is great, but the game doesn’t provide all the answers. Characters don’t always ask the right questions, seemingly for the sake of the narrative. Many aspects of the universe remain unexplained even after the ending. Music — 9/10 The soundtrack enhances the overall atmosphere. Voice acting is solid. Music at the visually stunning ND-1410 Outpost is something special. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHs6RATmeEw] YouTube Game Length / Content — 8/10 The game will take around 20–30 hours depending on your pace. Personally, due to its emotionally heavy and dark atmosphere, it feels longer. For its price and genre, the length is very good. Gameplay — 5/10 Unfortunately, this is the weakest part of the game. The game feels artificially complicated due to tight inventory limits, scarce ammo, and limited resources. You play as a Traveler — an entity in heavy armor. Travelers clearly understand their enemy, yet the “system” only provides you with a pistol. This is done to create tension and difficulty, but it feels like poor design. Logically, such advanced beings should start with something like a flamethrower, which would effectively deal with abominations. Instead, fire — the most effective weapon — is limited to small capsules, and outposts dispense only one at a time. This often leads to frustrating gameplay loops where you burn enemies (to prevent merging) and repeatedly return to the outpost for more fire. Weapon variants are implemented oddly: the pistol and its alternative fire mode are treated as separate weapons with their own upgrades. The same applies to other weapon types. In one playthrough, I managed to max out only 2 out of 7 weapons, despite thoroughly exploring and grinding for resources. The protagonist’s accuracy, even after multiple upgrades, leaves much to be desired. There are also inconsistencies: some “zombie” bodies lying on the ground cannot be dismembered, while enemies killed during combat can be. Similarly, some enemies burn automatically upon death, while others remain intact and can be reused for merging. These inconsistencies break immersion. There is no shoulder swap — a basic feature that should be standard in third-person games with an offset camera. This is simply poor design. The ammo economy is not well thought out. Even if we accept the scarcity of resources, the game doesn’t respect the player’s weapon choice. If you prefer using only a handgun, enemies and containers still drop ammo for other weapons you don’t carry. Ideally, the game should prioritize dropping ammo for the weapon currently in use. The only exception could be rare ammo for late-game weapons. In my playthrough, I never even used the final weapon. Melee combat and stomping are weak. While there is a potential upgrade later in the game, I do not recommend relying on melee at all.
I think people leaving negative reviews expected too much based on OTHER games. This game is challenging your first playthrough, I died 50 times. You have to decide if fighting is worth it most of the time, and it's okay to avoid conflict, nobody is gonna take away your big boy gamer pin. This isn't Resident Evil, and you have to use resources sparingly. And that's what a NG+ is for, you get a much smoother run. If you like the Evil Within, SH 2, Dead Space, you will probably like it. Such is our calling.
