00:01The New Dawn is an old-school survival horror with a few new combat mechanics that you need to master in order to survive.
00:14Set in a bleak, alternate future where all the humanity has been wiped out, you play as a traveler,
00:22tasked by the mysterious collective to dive back into the past and collect the essences of key people targeted by the collective.
00:34The game is played from a third-person perspective and its combat is designed to make players feel rewarded for thinking strategically.
00:44This is the kind of game where you can't afford to waste bullets, nor you can ignore any loot drops or opportunities for crafting.
00:55Instead the focus, especially in the first few hours, is on pure survival.
01:01You have to make use of your limited inventory, pick up every last bullet and healing item and learn how to finish off enemies as efficiently as possible.
01:10A key strategy here is to charge up your weapon for each shot, which deals more damage and helps you save more ammo.
01:19Then, as you get increasingly powerful by unlocking more upgrades for your suit and weapons,
01:27you'll find that enemies which one posts a challenge are now easier to deal with,
01:33and you'll have enough tools in your arsenal to face off against even bigger threats.
01:37But remember, the enemies in this game have a trick up their sleeve. They can merge.
01:46Any enemy you can kill can be absorbed by other nearby enemies, making them stronger and tougher.
01:54Fire is your best friend in this game. You can use it to burn the bodies of the dead enemies and also to interrupt the merge as it's happening.
02:04Additionally, there are red barrels that you can shoot to cause an explosion and eliminate multiple enemies at once.
02:15What's more, all of your weapons serve different roles. Some are meant for close quarters combat.
02:23Others better suited for long range shooting. You can even change their firing modes with different upgrades at the travelers workstation.
02:36And remember, only use melee as your last resort, not your primary choice.
02:42If you made it this far, congratulations! You have what it takes to be a traveler.
