Cryostasis is one of the best games i've played in the past 5 years, but it's rather progressive so you might not like it if you dislike games which are slow to start. That, and it's rather unoptimised so frame rate drops sometimes appear and ruin the atmosphere. The story and writing in the game is also the best of recent memory imo. Zeno clash was fun for a bit but it didn't have much staying power, for me atleast.
You guys are swaying me the way I figured I would be swayed. Really like atmospheric games, and cryostasis seem that. Two questions about the game, how is the saving done? I am horrible with saving, and there is nothing worse than an atmospheric PC game that requires you to pull your self out of it constantly to remember to save your game (Stalker). So please say is has a good auto-save cause I hear it crashes. Second, I have a GT260, and a dual core, I should be able to max it, right?
You will still get fps dips with those specs,what resolution.I play at 1920x1080 and i have basically the same setup as you except heavily overclocked.I still get fps dips alot of the time.But cryostasis is a great game but like other have said is very slow paced.

if you like atmospheric games you are gonna love cryostasis. Is one of my favorite games and imo the best survival horror ( along with penumbra games). The graphics are amazing and you should be able to max it wirh a gtx260. You might notice some fps dips but considering cryostasis is aslow paced fps those dips are not annoying. I'm playing it at 1680x1050 medium-high settings with 8800gt at about 25fps and i'm ok even though is only 25fps
While it does'nt have the same kind of atmosphere as Cryostasis, it seems to have plenty of it's own unique weirdness. I liked it so much that I'll buy it the second I get my new pc (I'm expecting to wait another two weeks arghh!!).
Anyway, you can just download it and see what you think.
I heard Cryostasis was good, and you guys got me thinking about it even more! :) But I came to put my two cents in for Zeno Clash. I absolutely loved the game. It has its own sense of style and uniqueness, the gameplay is great, and it also has its own, very different, sort of atmosphere about it. There were a few levels that really blew me away. If you're interested, I wrote up my own review and gave it a 10.
Sounds like Cryostasis is your game, but you should strongly consider Zeno Clash later on... it's cheap, too! :D
