Cronos: The New Dawn (PS5)

Das Spiel besticht durch einen unglaublichen Sound und eine fesselnde Atmosphäre. Dazu kommt eine tolle Grafik, die ihren Tribut in Form von FPS zollt. Der Nahkampf ist bei mangelnder Munition ein Witz – Wird aber durch den durchdachten Waffen wett gemacht. Die Story ist ein erfrischendes Erlebnis mit Gruselfaktor.

There are aspects of Cronos the team would be wise to improve upon with its next horror game. Particularly, knowing when not to challenge me with combat, but instead leaving me with a guttural sense of dread, could go a long way to marking future projects from Bloober Team as being on the level of its landmark remake project. Still, that's not to say what the team has done here is less than great in its own right. Cronos: The New Dawn is Bloober Team cementing itself as not just a studio obsessed with horror--it's been that for over a decade already. This is Bloober Team becoming a trusted voice in horror.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a great new survival horror property and I hope we see more of The Traveller’s adventures in future. The clear influences from genre legends are combined with some original touches to make a game that feels familiar but also manages to innovate and surprise players too. The intriguing narrative, the enjoyable progression, and the challenging combat all combine to make an experience that cements Bloober’s place as horror specialists.
