Bloober Team is, you know, the kind of studio that crafts these haunting, beautiful horror games that make your spine tingle. But if you were like, “Hey, I need more action!” you’d probably feel a bit let down—well, except if you count that Silent Hill 2 Remake, which sorta gets the blood pumping.
Anyway, along comes Cronos: The New Dawn, swinging in like it’s got something to prove for those of us who wanna punch fear in the face rather than flee. It’s like, finally, a Bloober game where I can actually fight back! Woo-hoo!
So, Cronos drops on our radar, all flashy and stuff. People were like, “OMG, is it Dead Space?” But nah, it’s got its own mix, a little spicier than what we first imagined.
Here’s the twist: enemies in Cronos can kinda morph together—yeah, like a creepy fusion dance. Picture this: you’ve got to think fast on your feet, ‘cause suddenly that wimpy ghoul is now a towering monster. Yikes. Strategy becomes your new best friend; you’ll need to pick your battles wisely.
And oh man, the recent gameplay vid—mind blown. So if you’ve got corpses lying around, enemies snag ’em and heal up or maybe even get new ways to ruin your day. It’s like they powered up, RPG style. So, lure them away, keep the dead away from the alive—it’s a thing.
Cronos really brings a quirky, tactical twist to the survival horror genre. Ammo’s scarce, so don’t go in with guns blazing. See, I chatted with the game’s directors earlier and they spilled the beans on why they ventured into more action-y territories. Spoiler alert: they wanna spice up their classic horror vibes with some interactive fun.
No clue when Cronos: The New Dawn hits the shelves, but it’s landing this fall on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Keep your eyes peeled!
