Cronos: The New Dawn – A Must-See for Fans of Bloober Team Games, Even if You Haven’t Played Them

Sure thing, let’s dive into it. So, here we go.

I’ll admit upfront, Bloober Team, yeah, they’ve got this knack for making horror games that are almost too pretty to look at. But, hang on a second, if you’re like me and kind of crave more action than just lurking shadows, well, things have been… lacking? Until, possibly, now. Except, maybe the latest Silent Hill 2 Remake — but that’s a whole other rabbit hole.

Anyway, let’s talk about this game, Cronos: The New Dawn. Honestly, for folks who love Bloober but want to bash some monster heads, this might be your jam. Now, don’t get me wrong, running from scary stuff has its charm, but face it, brawling with them? That’s a different thrill ride.

Apparently, Cronos hit action-horror radars all over, even before anyone truly knew what it was about. At first glance, sure, you’d think it’s a Dead Space wannabe, but then it hits you — it’s got its own unique flavor. Not entirely sure if that makes any sense.

So here’s the deal, the enemies don’t just attack, they get smarter. Like Transformers, but with more teeth and less truck. They, uh, merge on the fly or something? Which means you’ll experience fights that can suddenly get way tougher. Maybe like chess, but bloodier.

Oh! This one’s wild – if you’re trying to duke it out, enemies can, get this, suck up dead bodies for extra powers. That’s just unfair, right? So you’ve gotta think, “Do I lure them here or…?” Not your typical combat style, you know? Makes you plan and panic at the same time. But hey, who said horror isn’t tactical?

Now, Bloober’s whispered something about resource scarcity. So, no run-and-gun here, sir, ma’am. Treat it like a rare steak, savor each bite. Or hit, maybe.

Oh, quick detour — I chatted with some of the people behind Cronos, they talked about, I dunno, making things more action-packed. But, like, still keeping the spookiness. It’s like they want to mix oil and water, but they’re somehow doing it?

And, oh, quick heads up, this game should hit shelves this fall — for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. I’m eager, but patient… kinda.

Anyway, that’s the scoop. What do you think?
