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 has become a very pleasant discovery for me this year. The gameplay is deeply engaging and strongly reminds me of the best Resident Evil titles - the remakes of 2 and 4, as well as parts RE7 and RE8. Just like in those games, progressing through the story, upgrading your character, and uncovering the world’s mysteries and what has happened was incredibly rewarding. I especially loved the switch between perspectives - exploring the ruined future after the catastrophe and then jumping back into the past to see what the world looked like before it all went wrong. This contrast gives a unique perspective on the events. It’s rare to encounter such intricate stories where, at first, you have no idea what’s happening - but piece by piece it all starts to make sense. Here it’s done very well. I’d also like to highlight the presence of New Game+ - in the best Resident Evil traditions. After finishing the game, you can start over while keeping your stats and weapons, allowing you to max out upgrades and go for the remaining achievements. That’s a huge plus. The story and the way monsters merge reminded me of the iconic movies The Thing - the original from 1982 and the 2011 prequel. I’m sure I’m not the only one who noticed this. Final verdict: if you enjoy Resident Evil–style gameplay, intricate stories, and horror with a touch of mystery, this game will absolutely pull you in. Highly recommended - you won’t regret it.

An excellent survival horror game which isn't too dissimilar to Resident Evil in many ways. It has a pretty brutal inventory management system which really makes you take only what is absolutely necessary. It has some superb graphical visual quality. The mechanics in the game for traversing are unique. The story is excellent. The suspense is great. The audio with earphones is incredibly atmospheric and adds to suspense and it has plenty of jump scares. The game is well balanced and fair. New Game+ on hard mode is much easier than your first run on normal mode as you have most of the needed upgrades. If you liked the Dead Space remake and the recent Resident Evil remakes in 3rd person, you will love this game! It is a very similar experience with an excellent story.

This was a phenomenal gaming experience. The setting and atmosphere is bleak and disturbing. Gameplay is fun and reminded me of Dead Space. What makes this game special is its difficulty. It will challenge you in all the right ways. You will be forced to manage ammo and face hordes of evil creatures. Remember: every bullet counts. The progression is also fantastic. You're gradually upgrading your suit and weapons and while you are getting stronger, the game also ramps up its difficulty, so you're never overpowered. Bloober Team did a wonderful job at creating an experience that is tense throughout the whole game. I would also like to say a few words about pacing. The pace of this game is perfect. One moment you're fighting creatures, then you're soaking in the bleak and beautifully crafted environments, then you're learning the lore, then, suddenly, you're back to fighting. It's great. I picked this game up while it was on sale and it's 100% worth the price of admission. This game will stay with me for a long time. Great job, Bloober Team!

The game exceeded expectations on so many levels from its solid gameplay mechanics to its terrifyingly dark artistic direction, plus the haunting sound design... it's simply a love letter to dystopia fans, wrapped in a Dead Space-style experience. a solid 9/10. Highly recommend picking it up
