Cronos: The New Dawn Reviews

Cronos: The New Dawn impresses with a brilliant story and a fresh setting, somewhere between retro-futurism, brutalism, and sci-fi horror. The simple and slow combat system is a matter of taste. If you go along with it, you can expect nerve-wracking battles. Monsters that merge with already defeated enemies add an exciting twist to the encounters. The ingenious level design is (a bit too) linear, but it captivates with its almost perfect pacing, in which action, story, and puzzles alternate continuously. The scarce resources create a constant tension, which is underscored by an excellent synth-electro soundtrack. In short, "Cronos: The New Dawn" is one of the best horror games I've ever played.
