People that say this isn't a great game probably lie about other stuff too.

*Please note at the time of this review this game was still in Early Access, so some, if all of my criticism about it may no longer be valid depending one when you read this*

I was enjoying this for a while, kind of a mix of Dark Messiah meets Void Bastards vibe to it, but then it hit me: the point of rouge-likes is to get a little further each time, or at least the illusion to that. After the first level all the monsters become sword sponges, and I cannot get past level 4, which is a boss I have gone against about a half dozen times, and there is nothing you can do to beat this thing from what I can tell other than pure cheese.

Having your stats reduced every single time you die, and the gear you find at the start not scale is also really annoying, and once it clicks that you're just running your head into a wall over and over, it makes you realize there really isn't anything here to keep you playing the game. The core combat it passable, but gets old fast, and the wands which could be a nice break from the swordplay, are not only rare, but the 'ammo' for them is even harder to find.

Classic staple of the FPS genre, 100% recommend you check this one out.

Also: now having played Black Mesa and this, I'd recommend you guys check this, the original game, (Not Half-Life Source for the love of god,) over Black Mesa. Where Black Mesa does a lot of cool things, you can't really appreciate them if you don't check out the original game.

Also: Black Mesa drags out a lot of the set pieces from the original game, for better or for worse. For example, the Xen levels go on for around 3-4 hours in Black Mesa, where I spent maybe 45 minutes to an hour in them here. That brevity in many sections works in the original games favor a lot of the time.

TL;DR: Chronos: From the Ashes is a solid, if really easy (comparatively to Dark Souls, and other Souls-like games,) and I would say check it out as it's not that long, not that hard, and not full priced either. The levels, animations, and enemy designs are again, top notch, just as they were in Remnant. The combat itself is a lot weightier and more forgiving that other Souls-like games, but all the standard combat fixings are there (block, parry, light swing, heavy swing, etc.)

So in case you're wondering: your stamina only drains when you're shielding and take a hit, it doesn't drain from attacking. Your "Estus" only refills when you die, same goes for your health, but you can level up (fairly easily I might add,) and you get full health back every time you do. You start off at 18, and every time you die you age a year. As you age, some of your stats start to matter less, I.E. Strength, and you start to become better at magic and the arcane. Kind of a neat twist on the Souls formula, but I didn't even hit middle age. (I finished the game at 33 I think, I've finished every From Software Souls game, it really isn't hard if you've played any of them before,)

With that being said, if you have ever beaten any of the Souls game prior to playing Chronos, this game is not difficult at all. I would easily recommend this to anyone who has ever wanted to play Dark Souls, but was too overwhelmed by the difficulty and style of gameplay. This is the most base level of any of the Souls-like games I have ever played.

I also recommend this game if you played Remnant: From the Ashes and really enjoyed the lore and world and enemies in that game, because it's a lot more of the same and that is not a bad thing at all imo.

Oh and everyone ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the game because it's easy: not every single Souls-like has to be brutally hard you gatekeeping ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ babies.

If you were a fan of System Shock 2 and you're now checking out the original game, in the same way I played the living S H I T out of Fallout 3 and then went back to play the earlier Fallout games, well, you're in for a similar experience.

System Shock 1 isn't a bad game, and the enhanced edition definitely makes it slightly more playable, but holy ♥♥♥♥ is there a thick layer of jank you have to get through before you really start to enjoy this game. If you can put up with dated controls, there's a very cool, VERY 90's cyber punk story to be experienced here.

If you're one of those people that refuses to pay attention to details, or gets lost easily in large maps however, honestly just save yourself the frustration and go play System Shock 2 instead. That game is also janky, but the learning curve is a lot more straight forward than it is to learn System Shock 1.

Pick it up now while it's on sale.

The gameplay gets a bit stale but the story mode does get pretty cool by the end. Fun way to spend an afternoon too because the story mode took me maybe all of 4-5 hours to beat.

Solid shooter. Short as hell singleplayer, but by the end when you have all the Darkness powers its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trip man. Also: there is a NG+ mode so that's fun.

*spoiler*

The cliffhanger ending is funny thinking they had a snowballs chance in hell of getting another sequel to this series.

This game is fun as hell. Especially if you like 90's shooters vibes.

Where I don't think this game deserves to be on any "worst games of all time" lists, it does deserve to be on every "painfully bland and unfunny" list.

Levels are super bland, the game has a super washed out color pallet, guns never have any ammo, final boss is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke, and Duke is just a horribly dated character.

Honestly if they had played into how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid half the ♥♥♥♥ Duke says and does was, and the game started not with him on the top, but on the bottom and then having to defend the whole planet from alien invaders again, I think this game would have been a lot better story-wise.

So yeah, don't bother picking this one up unless you want to play though a bland ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shooter.

Oh also ♥♥♥♥ Randy Pitchford.

Do you enjoy fun things? Then play this.

Only major complaint is the enemies are all waaaaay too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ accurate. Other than that this game is fun as hell and it's an easy recommend.
