Sure, let’s dive into this.
Bloober Team, man, they’ve been doing these crazy-cool horror games for a while. You know, the kind that’s like watching a mind-bending movie but you’re the one freaking out. But, if you were looking for something with a bit more “pow! bam! action!”, well, guess what? They’ve got this new gig, Cronos: The New Dawn. Yeah, it’s kinda special for those of us who would rather punch the monster than hide in a closet. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, Silent Hill 2 Remake felt a bit like this? But, I dunno, Cronos seems to be on a different ride.
So, what’s the big deal with Cronos? Ever since they showed it off, action-horror fans everywhere have been like, “Whoooa, look at that!” I mean, first glances had people thinking, “Is this some Dead Space wannabe?” Nope, turns out it’s got its own groove. Speaking of, I remember thinking Dead Space was on my screen for a hot minute, only to laugh—‘cause I was so wrong.
Imagine this: you’re fighting these freaky enemies, right? And then, outta nowhere, this one gnarly baddie decides, “Hey, I’m gonna merge with that loser monster dude over there,” and now it’s basically evolving on-the-spot. Crazy, isn’t it? Suddenly, the fight’s ten times more intense than it was two seconds ago. One minute you’re patting yourself on the back for taking one down, next minute, boom, it’s like a mega-monster. Gotta keep your wits and make sure you’re picking the perfect battlefield to avoid, you know, total annihilation.
Oh! And get this: the enemies can gobble up dead bodies to get even stronger. What the heck, right? One minute you’re thinking, “Sweet, that one’s done for,” then you see another one absorbing it and you’re like, “Oh, come on!” Really gotta drag them away, like herding cats but less furry and more murderous.
It’s got this unique twist on combat, very brainy-tactic stuff for a horror game, especially when you mix in the classic scarcity of stuff—you can’t just run around like Rambo with endless ammo. I kinda chat with the directors earlier this year—chill folks, by the way—and they spilled the beans on how they were pushing for more action while keeping that classic Bloober scare-tactic alive and kicking.
When’s it dropping? Beats me, somewhere this fall, they say. For sure on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Keep an eye out, folks. That’s all, for now.
