Bloober has found its feet with Cronos: The New Dawn, its survival horror follow-up to Silent Hill 2

Hands-off preview of Bloober's Cronos: The New Dawn, a survival horror follow-up to Silent Hill 2.

Cronos has all the typical hallmarks of the modern survival horror genre: limited ammo, an over-the-shoulder view, inventory management and crafting, yellow crates to bust open, and finding the right key for the right lock. I mentioned this reminded me of the Crimson Head enemies from Capcom's Resident Evil remake on the GameCube - where regular zombies can revive as deadly, door-knocking horrors - and the pair admitted this was a key influence. Time and gravity anomalies will form puzzles throughout | Image credit: Bloober Much of the preview involved finding a key for a lock, in this case a set of bolt cutters to slice away the entrance to a lift in a decrepit building.
