Cronos: The New Dawn

Muy buen juego

Deserves WAY more recognition in amongst the survival horror genre. Its atmosphere and survival horror gameplay is VERY solid

Finished my 1st play through and loved it, feels like a great mix of resident evil and silent hill. Story was pretty confusing but it had a good gameplay loop and never really overstayed its welcome. Excited for the DLC.

Si Resident Evil et Dead Space avaient un enfant, version Annihilation (le film). Ce jeu est oppressant à souhait, avec des graphismes digne d'une fiction post-apo et une bande sonore parfaite pour angoisser en permanence. Et que dire des monstres ? Je suis habitué au genre, mais je redoute toujours d'en croiser un, ces horribles créatures étant aussi laides que des cadavres mutés, pouvant imiter la mort et fusionner entre elles. Et ce ne sont que les premières que j'ai croisé, je n'ai aucun doute quant au bestiaire qui au fil du temps ne fera que se renforcer. Je rédige cet avis assez prématurément après seulement 5 heures de jeu, mais des heures bien remplies au cours desquelles j'ai eut besoin de pauses pour reprendre mon souffle. Les décors sont bons, beaucoup de bâtiments en ruines avec des "anomalies", des trous noirs étranges que je n'explique pas. Le lore du jeu est difficile à comprendre pour le moment, mais tout comme le titre du jeu l'indique, je suis sûr qu'il est question du temps. De voyage et de contrôle dans le temps peut-être ? Nous incarnons une Voyageuse (et c'est agréable de pouvoir jouer un perso féminin pour une fois), à la recherche d'agents de sa propre organisation mystérieuse dans les années 80, en quête d'accomplissements de leurs objectifs qu'ils n'ont pas réussi à terminer à cause des attaques des Orphelins (le nom donné aux créatures). C'est étrange de suivre une aventure en étant équipé tel un mercenaire du futur alors qu'on explore les années 80, qui semblaient en proie à une épidémie étrange et un confinement sous la surveillance d'un état socialiste. Le sentiment de solitude est omniprésent pour le moment, la tension est constante, et les rares (heureusement) assauts de plusieurs mobs à la fois sont horribles (dans le bon sens, une sacrée flippe et un bon combat). J'ai déjà envie de relancer le jeu, mais je pense avoir besoin d'une pause, ahahah. En bref, pour les amoureux.ses de ce genre, je vous le recommande à fond, un bon survival-horror. Je joue sur un pc avec une config qui n'est pas forcément 100% adaptée au gaming, et pourtant avec quelques concessions et réglages, je n'ai eut aucun bug, crash, ni le moindre problème, exactement comme si je jouais à un jeu sur ma PS4 slim, un RE ou du The last Of Us Part II si je devais prendre un exemple pour le rendu graphique. D'ailleurs, mes paramètres ont rendus le jeu plus sombre que gris, comme si je jouais dans une nuit éternelle, et ça ajoute une atmosphère plus "puissante", qui renforce mes peurs. C'est génial. Je vous souhaite de bien vous amuser ! La bise.

物品欄太少了根本不夠用，我玩的還是最簡單的，場景太黑了，劇情還可以

First of all, this game is a visual and cinematic masterpiece. How did they even achieve this level of audiovisual perfection? Every scene feels like the end of a mind-bending movie, each audio queue immerses you deeper into the atmosphere. Top notch stuff. If atmospheric games are to your liking this one nails it and surpasses many that came before it. Secondly, the story is very dark and requires some mental gymnastics and collectibles to fully grasp, but I think it's all worth it in the end. Some things still remain unsolved, but I hope the DLC dives even deeper to answer some remaining questions. Also, dialogue choices don't really matter apart from the last one, but it's not a big deal because the story is very focused on unfolding one specific way which you either love or hate depending on what your expectations were at the start. Thirdly, the gameplay is a mix of RE, Dead Space and Silent Hill. It's perfect for lovers of all these great franchises, not so much for casual gamers, especially early in the game. The difficulty is unforgiving (they even patched in easy mode after release) but it's also fair. You will almost always have very limited ammo and after each fight you will survive by the skin of your teeth. But this gives a very rewarding feeling, because you actually progressed through your skill and not by unlimited amounts of ammo and buffs. Honestly, this game is underrated, more fans of survival horror must at least try it. If you especially love sci-fi, dark atmosphere and mind-twisting visuals/story, you will absolutely love it. 9.5/10

Overall I had an good time because the gameplay is very solid, the atmosphere is great, it's got a lot of unique ideas and the story's mysteries kept me hooked until the end. Unfortunately, this may have been the game that made me realize I'm maybe not really into "traditional" survival horror anymore. The main issue I had was that the inventory management is SO aggressive forcing you to spend rare and valuable resources to upgrade your bags just so you can carry one more thing. I know it's a staple of the genre and I'm sure for some people this is a lot of fun but what this meant for me ended up being at least a couple of hours of my 25 hour playtime spent running back to the storage chest at the last save point whenever I found something I wanted but couldn't pick up to deposit something, run all the way back to grab it and then all the way back and forth again to continue. I know this likely wasn't the dev's intention but...it's rare they actually stop you from doing it. The equally aggressive scarcity of resources through most of the game only cultivated this kind of loot hungry attitude. I'm a B+ kind of shot in videogames, not amazing but not terrible, and I found myself walking around quite often with like 2 measly bullets to my name and the fear that, if I ran into one of the very obvious battle arenas (watch for the explosive barrels) I'd be dead (because the protagonist punches like a wet paper towel until you upgrade). To be fair though, I don't think I ever actually found myself in a position where I didn't have enough to get by. I just rides that line very finely. That's kind of what I meant about that solid gameplay and, like I said, I'm sure there are lots of people who love that sort of thing but, for me, it was a bit more frustrating than fun. Also, those compelling mysteries I mentioned? Maybe half of them get explained. The rest just kind of hang there as the credits roll (even in the super special "you played the game twice" ending) which, probably by itself, brought my score down from an 8 to a 7. You could claim they "left it open to interpretation" but I tend to think that's usually a pretty cheap excuse to just not tie up your story threads. A game prompting the player to make more use of their imagination is a good thing for sure but I also didn't buy this game to write big chunks of the story myself. It sounds like I'm complaining a lot and I kinda am but A) the rest of what I have to say about this game is honestly pretty positive and B) most of what I didn't like about it felt like the kind of thing true enjoyers of the genre would love. All that said, it was definitely a fun few evenings and I don't regret it at all. If nothing else, buy it for the cats.

[h1]B A Y I L D I M [/h1] Evet, uzunnnn bir aradan sonra oynarken korkudan zevke geldiğim bir oyun oynadım. Bu oyunu bayağıdır almak istiyordum. Şimdi gelelim oyun deneyimime. Öncelikle oyunu orta seviyede bitirdim ve toplam 14 kez öldüm. Açıkçası oyun aşırı zor değildi ama kolay da değildi. Tam orta kıvamı tutturmuş. Ne sizi oyundan bıktırıyor ne de her şeyi ilk denemede geçmenizi sağlıyor. Belki en zor modda oynarsanız o zaman gerçekten zorlayabilir. Oyunda bayağı sevdiğim kısımlardan biri, sizi çok taktiksel ve güvenli oynamaya zorlaması. Bu da sürekli gerilim altında kalmanızı ve yaratıklardan gerçekten korkmanızı sağlıyor. Oyunda 1-2 yer dışında "Tamam, artık her şeye hazırım." dediğim bir an olmadı. Onun dışında her yeni bölgeye girdiğimde tırsıyordum. Gameplay açısından da oyunu sevdim. Silahları şarj ederek kullanmak hem zor hem de yaratıkları öldürmek için neredeyse zorunlu. Bu da sizi düşünerek oynamaya itiyor. Silah çeşitliliği bence yeterli. Çok büyük farklılıkları olmasa da yine de hoşuma gitti. Atmosfer olarak ise 10/10. Gerilimi iliklerinize kadar hissettiriyor. Şimdi gelelim hoşuma gitmeyen tek kısma: hikâye anlatımı. Oyunun evreni sanki siz her olayı zaten biliyormuşsunuz da onun üzerine anlatıyormuş gibi hissettiriyor. Oyunun sonları da aynı şekilde. Sürekli size yeni sorular sorduruyor ama cevaplarını vermiyor. Hikâyesi kötü değil, sadece anlatım biçiminde sorun var. Onu da videolar izleyerek çözeceğim. Ne zaman satın alınır derseniz mevsimlik indirimler sırasında alınır.
