I reviewed Cronos: The New Dawn, and I can't believe I'm saying this but Bloober Team hit it out of the fucking park! A survival horror that expertly toys with its players, plus an intriguing story and plenty of squick. Bloober's best work by miles.

Cronos: The New Dawn - A Masterclass In Horror (Review)

Cronos: The New DawnReleased: September 5th, 2025Developer: Bloober TeamPublisher: Bloober TeamSystems: PC, PS5 (reviewed), Switch 2, Xbox X/SIn hindsight, it was inevitable that Bloober Team would wade into the realm of post-Covid quarantine horror. The studio made a name for itself relentlessly mining trauma for Big Scaries, so of course it would get around to the collective misery that was this decade's season opener.

Bloober is a company that's shown growth as I hoped. I am curious for the first glimpses of their remake of the first Silent Hill.

Wow who would’ve thought bloober could do it. I originally put off on buying it because I expected it to be a stray souls spiritual successor. I guess I’ll have a look at it now.

They had to make a bunch of not great games with bad stories to learn how to make great games with good stories. The medium had a reprehensible literary theme but they did do a pretty good job with atmosphere and puzzles and the other things that a horror game does need to do well.
