"When I'd finished my first five battles in C ronos with not a single piece of ammo remaining, I knew I was in for a heck of a time. But I also hadn't realized how long it had been since a survival horror game truly tested my management capabilities - and it turns out that's exactly what I wanted. Cronos is a brand-new take on the survival horror genre from"
"Absolutely dripping in goopy atmosphere, Cronos is a game that embraces the "survival" part of survival horror in every way, crafting a fantastically demanding combat system that's woven through a compelling world filled with mystery. The minute-to-minute gameplay in Cronos is one of the finest horror experiences I've had in years, only let down by the wheels completely coming off the story in the third act.

Cronos is a survival-horror game from Bloober Team that centers on extreme resource management and demanding combat. Gameplay forces careful ammo and supply conservation, making every encounter tense and consequential. The game is steeped in thick, unsettling atmosphere and minute-to-minute gameplay that ranks among the finest horror experiences in recent years. The narrative unfolds almost entirely in Krakow's Nowa Huta district, drawing on Stalinist-era history, worker uprisings, information control, and quarantines. Players control the Traveler, an enigmatic suit-wearing operative tied to an organization called The Collective. The story's third act weakens the overall arc, yet the game's tension and design make it a worthwhile horror experience.
