As a fan of horror games I was excited for Cronos. This game was made by the makers of the great Silent Hill 2 Remake so I wanted to get this new one. The game has a lot of moments sure to scare you. My only complain is probably not being able to change the difficulty to a story option. You start at a normal difficulty and you already have issues with ammo conservation since there aren’t plenty of them around. The good part is you get to save your game with the save pods located after a stressful combat scene. Enemies called orphans are stressful to deal with so making sure you save as much as possible is a must. Still good for me.

"It's an action-horror game, and it’s excellent. The difficulty makes it quite challenging, but it’s definitely worth playing. I highly recommend it. If you’re a fan of horror games and you like Resident Evil and Dead Space, you’ll love this one—it’s just more of a challenge."

Cronos: The New Dawn is honestly a pleasant surprise. The world is stunning, the story slowly pulls you in, and the combat actually makes you think instead of just button-mashing.
It can get tough at times, and a few camera angles made me yell at my screen, but the challenge makes every win feel earned. If you like story-driven games with real atmosphere and weight, this one’s worth your time.

Very much an old school survival horror. The look and feel is pure Dead Space. Structure of early Resident Evil. This game is intense. And I don’t wanna spoil it by giving out too much information. If you like Dead Space you’ll like this one.

If you enjoy survival horror games like Dead Space and Resident Evil (especially 4 or Village) you'll likely really enjoy this game. It is set in Poland after a pandemic and has a lot of tense moments with jump scares and the need to conserve resources. The story is really interesting and it has multiple ending cutscenes based on your decisions. It took me around 25 hours to beat the game, and I am looking forward to a NG+ play through. Wholly recommend!

It's a survival horror game that has a good story & great graphics, but gameplay & combat can be challenging for those who are new to the genre. With scarce resources so you can afford to miss shots, auto save are far & few but you can manually save, inventory space is very limited, & the main character trots during combat. I'm enjoying it but I think it's catered to more hardcore fans of the genre than to a casual gamer.

Wow this game is has so much details and story line is great full of mystery and cats with gifts. For the price of this game is reasonable I give it a 10/10. Yeah the game is kinda hard but it will be something to get used to. This game reminds me of Dead Space and Callisto Protocol. I would recommend people trying this game out if you wanna play something new. You will enjoy it thank me later
