As for my others impressions, I can really see the RE4 influences. The textures, animations, art style and even the text really reminds of the OG.

Imagining a RE playing like this is crazy 🤣

No, I'm not playing on easy, because I'm sure it would make things even worse.

Now I understand why I struggled so much to watch Runie and Minto when they played this.

I'm really not sure what to do now. Should I drop it? Skip to 2? 3 even since its the best one apparently? /2

I really want to play again but its time to move on. DMC awaits!

Also, one last thing about Cronos the new dawn.

If you have an ultrawide monitor and the games keeps crashing on the ascendance sequence, turn off the Panini setting.

As of posting this, they're yet to fix this bug.

One thing I noticed is the "Clear Time" counted seems wrong. I logged 11 hours and 38min, while in-game almost a whole hour is missing and I'm not sure why. Its not because it was paused or from cutscenes.

Last one was even worse, about ~7 hours missing. Pretty strange tbh /2

Sure, early game was "easy" when compared to the later parts but I feel like a walking tank rather than a struggling scavenger. Not a bad thing of course.

I must say tho, it does feels nice to be the threat rather than the threatened for once

And I got a B 🤣 I saved way too much I guess

The story is disappointing but serviceable. I'm sure that are plenty of things I missed, so I'm looking forward to watch any lore/review videos I can find.

Overall, the gameplay is really solid and it alone justify playing it.

My score for it is a 8/10.

Another thing I realized is just how good the level design is too. Every single arena is built in a way so you always have a way to run away and not get surrounded, usually there's explosives you get to shoot at to save ammo.

It really keeps you on this delicate balance so you're always on edge with a few brief moments to let you breathe and relax for a bit.

Any sudden abundance in resources will vanish just as quickly and you'll be back at having to choose, do i fight or just run?

/4

It only gives you just enough to be able to deal with anything it throws at you. Never too little or too much, just right so you don't get softlocked or get too comfortable.

/3

I really can't stress this enough at just beautifully well designed this game is. I mentioned before how the game makes sure you always struggle from start to finish, but what I didn't mention is how it does that.

/2

Can't think of anything else to say so that's it I guess.

Even tho I haven't finish the game yet and after 18 hours in, I can say I'm enjoying it. It really is fun and I can easily recommend it, despite some weak areas that I may have been too harsh earlier.

The enemies and bosses are meh for the most part. Challenging but only really a threat if you think this is CoD and go guns blazing.

Take your time to aim, charge your shots, scout the area, and plan ahead on what item you want to craft. Do that and you'll be fine, mostly. /20

Any tension/suspense I felt came purely from not having enough ammo/resources than it did from atmosphere.

It could be that I can recognize the tropes these games tend to use and ready myself but I don't know...

Dead space/Resident Evil can get pretty scary at times /19

One thing I must say, this game is far more survival than it ever is horror but I can at least tell its not for lack of trying. Its just that the game fails at building tension most of the time IMO and at no point playing was I ever scared. /18

What else...

The game is beautiful! The lighting in the game is used really well and it creates some really stunning visuals.

I wished I knew how to take proper screenshots but I hope these could help see what I mean /17
