Promising but gameplay too painful

I wanted to love this game but the combat is just not enjoyable at all! They throw lots of enemies at you and you literally have a single digit number of bullets on you most times. And only one can of fire as an emergency. And you have to save at checkpoints. And there is no dodge mechanic. Missing one bullet usually means you are screwed. And if two enemies merge, they create something with even more health and damage. Would have loved to explore more of this but it's not a fun challenge. This is simply NOT a scratch on Dead Space gameplay-wise.

I would like to preface this review by stating that I am a huge critic of Bloober and of their games. I have played everything that they have developed from Observer to this title, and it is impossible to speak of this game in isolation as Bloober has undergone a sort of metamorphosis in and of itself. Basically, I have always considered Bloober to be Eurojank. What is Eurojank? Well, it's Eastern European games having a grand vision, but a sloppy and buggy execution. While all their previous titles: Blair Witch, Observer, The Medium, Layers of Fear were "good enough", they were always buggy and poorly poorly optimized. Those games were acceptable to me because they were not presented as a AAA masterpiece. They fit the budget and fun was had, but were still rather somewhat annoying at times with the performance issues. Then we fast-forward to my utter contempt for Bloober....Silent Hill 2 remake. I feel as though it were not actually much better or worse than their previous attempts (optimization included), but received far far far too much praise because of the IP and nostalgia. I feel if it (SH2) were judged upon its own merits, it wouldn't stand out at all, but would be just another middling AA title. Now, we come to Cronos. There is no IP to back it, nor are there any nostalgia glasses clouding anyone's eyes. Bloober has taken their experience working with Konami, it seems, along with UE5, and also the newfound fame, and are doing their best to transition to a competent AAA Dev team. This game has ambiance for sure. The combat is brutal, the resources scarce, and the struggle to survive is ever present. Now, there are technical hiccups....I mean...It's Bloober after all. Hardware Lumen (RT) absolutely tanks fps even on the 5090, and there is still the shader compilation traversal stutter ever present in UE games. The price is absolutely ridiculous too for a new IP. However, all things considered, Good Job, Bloober Team!!! You have made it!

UNTITLED

Good day, persnickety mfs. You're probably reading this review because you don't want to end up like the other cockroaches who are having a full blown temper tantrum over purchasing this game, thinking it would be Dead Space all over again, or criticising it for being too "hard." Let's get this out of the way. It doesn't run very well. I downloaded a mod for this on Nexus mods and had no problems after. The game's story and setting felt like a unique experience, and I don't say that very often. The entire aesthetic is, really. Just look at the armor of the main character. It's incredibly weird, but in a good way. Lookin like some deep sea diver with a metal pusspuss in the middle. At last, something different than the typical trendy designs. On the topic of characters, I thought the ones in here were excellent. Excellent voice acting, well-done, deliberately placed development and evolution. The consciousness imbued into the suit of armor (you can't really call this a "woman"), comes off as robotic and algorithmic at first. But then, the circuits may develop flesh, so to speak. Actually, I liked the combat in this. It took time to get used to, but it turns out that's a part of playing video games. You have to learn the system and how to work with it if you want to enjoy it. I've seen b*tching about slow movement, unfairness in combat etc. I got no such impression. In fact, I don't remember being bothered even once. Maybe it's because I knew I was playing Cronos and not another game. I can't be entirely sure. The inventory challenge was enjoyable and not to the detriment of the game in my opinion. It turns out you can upgrade your inventory strategically to make it more manageable. I like optimizing and thinking about this sort of thing, but you may not. Whatever. What really gets me with this game is the enemy design and variations. Seriously, with this setting, you can get away with some of the most grotesque, hideous, evil monstrosities. The potentials for diabolical creativity here seem endless. Yet, it felt squandered. I was underwhelmed with the enemy variety and mechanics. They felt a bit like placeholders. They didn't have a lot of character. If you've ever played Saya no Uta, they all pretty much resemble the backdrop of gore surrounding Fuminori while he sits there depressed discussing murder plots with his loli waifu. Maybe hire the equivalent of a newgen H.R. Giger next time. Someone who salivates at the thought of murderous, otherwordly creatures. If this aspect was up to par, I might just have rated it 5 stars. Overall, what can I say. The game held my attention. I actually looked forward to playing it and I wanted to see what would happen. The ending I got seemed kind of unsatisfying and short, but I don't think it ruins the rest of the time I had with the game. This is one that I'd probably play again in the future to get the other ending, if that means anything to you. Cronos is one of the better titles I've played recently. It's not mesmerizing, but it's damn good in my opinion and worth a playthrough.

A fantastic new survival horror game.

Its dark, oppressive, bleak and drips atmosphere from every corner. The story is very interesting and will keep you engaged the whole way through. The combat requires tactical thinking to conserve your limited resources but its not as difficult as I was led to believe. Overall the game is fantastic and I can't wait for more from this new IP. Bloober is on a roll.

Steht Resident Evil in nichts nach

Als ich das Spiel vor Veröffentlichung gesehen habe dachte ich mir so: joa schaut schon ganz gut aus. Ein Survival Horror Spiel im AA Segment von einem Team mit 30 Leuten. Als ich dann gesehen hab, dass die da 60€ dafür haben wollten hab ich erstmal gezögert. Ich hatte einfach die Befürchtung, dass es eine Billigversion von The Evil Within, einem Resident Evil etc. ist und oh junge lag ich da falsch. Was man hier bekommt is wirtklich Survival Horror von aller erster Sahne. Zum einen schaut das Spiel wirklich absolut geil aus. Dieses mystische Setting zusammen mit einem richtig coolen Artstyle in diesem abgefuckten Ostblock Setting mit einzigartigem Charakterdesign find ich einfach total geil. Aber auch die Geschichte is wirklich cool. Schön mystisch. Es wird dem Spieler viel Interpretationsspielraum gelassen, aber doch genügend Fragen beantwortet. Was die Spieldynamik angeht is es genau so, wie man es von einem guten Survival Horror Spiel erwartet. Es is herausfordernd, aber belohnt einen auch wenn man sich Mühe gibt und gut spielt. Wenn man effizient kämpft, alle Waffen und Ausrüstungsgegenstände die man hat geschickt einsetzt, dann geht man in der Regel mit mehr Munition aus dem Kampf raus, als man davor hatte. Auch ein riesen Lob an der Stelle: Das Spiel nimmt den Spieler ernst und traut ihm auch was zu. Es gibt beispielsweise keine Karte, dementsprechend muss man halt wirklich aufpassen, was aber auch gut machbar ist, weil die Level nie zu groß werden. Wenn man das aber macht, dann belohnt einen das Spiel auch dafür. Beispielsweise geht man regelmäßig an irgendwelchen Türen oder Bereichen vorbei, bei denen man erstmal einen bestimmten Gegenstand braucht um da rein zu kommen. Den findet man dann später im Level. Eigentlich is der dann dafür da, dass man weiter voran kommt. Wenn man sich jetzt aber gemerkt hat: Ah da war doch davor noch was und man geht dann zurück und findet in dem Raum hilfreiches Zeug, dann is das einfach super befriedigend. Das treiben die sogar so weit, dass es Waffen im Spiel gibt, die man nur bekommt wenn man sowas macht und einfach aufmerksam spielt. Der Horror kommt auch alles andere als zu kurz. Manchmal hat der Stift schon odentlich gemalt und mich hats auch teilweise so gerissen, dass alles zu spät ist. Also auch top. Meine einzigen beiden Kritikpunkte sind eigentlich, dass es keine deutsche Vertonung gibt und dass die Performance, naja sagen wir mal ausbaufähig ist. Es is jetzt keine Katastrophe wie das Oblivion Remake, also man bekommt das Spiel auch gut auf dem Steam Deck zum laufen, aber irgendwie hätte man sich da schon noch mehr Mühe geben können.
