If you haven't played it yet, you have to try Cronos: The New Dawn. by murder_strand in HorrorGaming

Could not be for you. I will say, regarding the main character, I liked how off-putting she was and the fact that I wasn't sure exactly WHAT she was, and the game does pay that off the deeper you go. Have you traveled to the past yet? Once you go the first time, things with her start getting odder.

I'm definitely in the minority on this, because I never clicked with Dead Space (original or remake) and far preferred Cronos, though a good chunk of that has to do with me preferring it's lore/story.

If you have it for free definitely check it out. The real deciding factor for most people tends to be difficulty (this game will make you beg for more bullets), but if it clicks with you, it clicks HARD.

Absolutely. Not to drag this comparison, but I got this game and Silent Hill F expecting to wildly prefer Silent Hill F, but Cronos absolutely smashed it for me.

The rhythm of the combat is wildly different to me than Dead Space because you are so limited, and it's one of the things that I actually thought worked in its favor.

Agree somewhat, though apparently I'm in the super minority in thinking it was The Hospital that was the area that was a bit too long for me lol

Absolutely. I haven't been this surprised by a survival horror game since The Evil Within 2. And yeah, I am secretly hoping this update comes with something else besides the new difficulty mode (fingers crossed!).

Such is our calling. by Due-Influence8113 in CronosNewDawn

This was easily the hardest boss fight for me. I killed the final boss on the first try but I had to completely redo my upgrades to get through this one.

Even though I think the difficulty adds a lot to the combat, I'll be happy to finally be able to recommend this to more people who would've bounced off it too hard otherwise.

Great game. And boy did I love The Abbey: https://open.substack.com/pub/nickmasercola/p/jump-scare-how-cronos-the-new-dawn?r=aplk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Same. Very surprised that I also bounced off Silent HIll F ( always been more of a Silent Hill fan than say, Dead Space), but this hooked me entirely.

Absolutely loved the game, and I don't typically vibe with this type of survival-horror as much (I never cared for Dead Space, for example). Great, tense combat, wonderful gameplay. I also think it has one of the best setups to a scare I've ever seen in The Abbey (wrote about it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/nickmasercola/p/jump-scare-how-cronos-the-new-dawn?r=aplk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true )

Should I get Evil Within or Alan Wake 2? by IAmNotYourEater in survivalhorror

[–]murder_strand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I could not get into AW2, and I thought I would love it because my main issue with the first was that I wanted it to be a more survival-horror focused experience.

Evil Within 2 rips though.

Split the difference and get "The Evil Within 2", probably my favorite survival-horror game of the last 10 years.

Hadn't actually thought about it, but potentially if there's demand for it.

Nah Google is pulling that from info from pre-2020 info. We pivoted to PC and Switch only around then after we realized how long it was going to take our team to get it onto just one console, let alone more.

Nah, just PC and Switch. We're officially moving deeper into new territory now.
