So they definitely improved combat a bit since the last preview with body damage and dismemberment, weapons seem stronger too. First 30 minutes are a joke, like Callisto Protocol knockoff which is BAD, travel through here, duck under that, etc but it does open up. But seems like it uses similar doors, assets, hallways, throughout all the way til the end kind of? I scanned through an entire playthrough, and it was so similar throughout the last half of the game. I played first 2 or 3 hours on PS5 but have quit after seeing its kind of just the same shit imo.

I wish PC Gamer changed their name. As a PC Gamer I wish to distance myself from them as much as possible.

Shut it off as soon as he said Callisto was terrible. Really? Just fucking say "Wasn't received well much at all" or something. Plenty of people enjoy that game for what it is. Plenty of people here like it.

All of these "professional" YT reviewers suck donkey dick.

I mean Chuck, I'm a horror fan and beside the (amazing )GFX, Callisto was a pretty terrible game whether you agree or not, terrible, ultra linear levels, brain dead enemy AI, shimmying/crawling through vents animations up the arse, super predictable plot, idiotic hand to hand/melee system etc etc.

In fact, i still don't get how the man that created Dead space managed to fuck it up so badly while Bloober managed to make something as good as Cronos: The new Dawn (which is pretty much dead space in all but name) ...

Again, amazing GFX (still one of the prettiest games of this generation), terrible everything else.

That's one of biggest issue Callisto's level design, there nothing wrong being linear but in Callisto 90% of time you crawling through vents or sliding throw walls, it became so bad that if I forgot item I didn't bother going back because I have to do lot of crawling and sliding to get it…..it's a shame because the prison setting was brilliant idea for horror setting.

To be fair Cronos has some sliding through cracks but no where near close to Callisto.

Nah I just think that is way, way too strong of a word to call it. It's 100% perfectly playable. If you suck at the combat, that's a skill issue. Who cares if its linear? That's a personal issue. Everything Im reading Cronos is linear too. Is that a problem? I didn't find the plot predictable at all. I dont watch much new shit on TV or movies so maybe you were able to connect to something that I couldnt. Also, if brain dead AI is being aggressive as fuck and just charging straight for you trying to rip your neck out then consider me a fan of braindead AI. And I loved beating the shit out of the enemies with that bat. And the animation and sound when he removes it off his shoulder. The shimmying gets a bit crazy, yeah, but I didn't care. It's crazy in the God of Wars too.

This is just something we'll never agree on. And I'd never consider trying to force you to like something. It's all good. I loved the DS remake too. All this ultraviolent, creepy, atmospheric space sci fi horror shit is so my bag.

And I'm grabbing this after work. Fuck it. I can't wait any longer. You guys are fucking killing me.
