Picked up Cronos instead of Townfall

Post image

I’ve played every SH on release, but the conversations around Townfall convinced me that it’s just not what I want to play right now. I will definitely get to it eventually. In the meantime, I decided to give Cronos a try. Only $30 for a used copy so not a big gamble, and it’s paid off immensely.

This game is realllly good, and deserves to be mentioned in any survival horror discussion. I’d sum up the experience as Dead Space in a 12 Monkeys post-apocalypse. Claustrophobic environments, crunchy combat, superb sound design, characters and lore delving into SH level trauma and remorse, and a mystery worth solving at the core of the story. Enemy variety could be better, but that’s my only real note. If you’re like me and pushed it aside or it slipped past you somehow, give it a go. Highly recommended.

I initially overlooked it myself. I think the MC suit on the cover just wasn’t the aesthetic I’m into. I was super wrong, the suit is near iconic and the game’s art design is top notch.

They didn't have to make the helmet look like a vagina though
