    Questo gioco è fantastico. Per gli amanti di STALKER e di METRO, questo gioco non ha nulla da invidiare. Inoltre, la costruzione della base è eccezionale, così come la connessione con i personaggi. La trama e la straordinaria grafica lo rendono uno dei giochi più belli del genere ambientato nei pressi di Chernobyl. ITALIAN USER

    This game is fantastic. For fans of STALKER and METRO, this game has nothing to envy. Furthermore, the base building is outstanding, as is the connection with the characters. The story and the exceptional graphics make it one of the most beautiful games in the genre set near Chernobyl.    … Expand

    Really enjoyable game with great atmosphere and story. Since the game doesn't offer an extreme difficulty and challenge for hardcore gamers, it's more focused on the travel and the stories Igor live during his search for Tatyana. Feels like STALKER (game) and Roadside Picnic.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with the game, the story and setting were interesting and the characters were all voiced well. My main gripe was the performance, the game suffers from stuttering in both DX11 and DX12, and the frame rate in certain areas absolutely tanks for no obvious reason. I really feel like the game needed another performance pass as it's not up to snuff right now.

    This game is very good. Graphics are good enough and the story is very good. I didn't like the ending part. Other things are very good. Don't expect too much. The walking and exploring real Chernobyl is very good and different feeling and i loved it.

    This is a great game, it's like a mix between Stalker and Fallout. Choices can be a pain, but later you can time travel to alter things, but almost every other choice has consequences. There is no perfect run and that's great. You will piss people off, it just depends on who and how big of an impact that will have. Combat for is another example of something I like, killing will drain youThis is a great game, it's like a mix between Stalker and Fallout.

You will piss people off, it just depends on who and how big of an impact that will have. Combat for is another example of something I like, killing will drain you mentally. It has an effect on you and that is also great. Some enemies you can't take out with stealth, some you can. Meaning that you will have to get loud at some point or sneak past everybody. Your choice.

    Anyway, great game, I had zero bug on pc, but I guess I played it after all the bugs were patched out.    … Expand

    Fantastic atmosphere combined with excellent graphics and new technologies DLSS and FSR do their job. Yes, the animations, story, gameplay, sound and text localization (into Russian) are not ideal, but for the familiar voices from Stalker and Metro from me a separate thanks. The composer hit the top ten, the soundtrack is memorable. There is good support from Ansel.

    It's heavy motion blur simulator, be careful! They even don't have a turn off button for this eye melter game.

    Edit: After their official release I had time to play and I saw they fixed their game. I rise my previous points from 1 to 9. Great job, team!

    When I saw a streamer fall of his chair scared when playing chernobylite I thought that this may be a good game. AND IT IS! Yes it is sometimes inconsistent in providing fun ALL the time. And it is not scary ALL the time. And you may find some small bugs still. But there are buckets of atmosphere, the story is engaging, and the graphics, oh man! For the fans of the Zone a must have.

    "Not great, not terrible" - haha, just kidding :) It's really great game. Chernobyl exclusion zone has never looked better in PC game and I'm sure that will be even better at next gen consoles. Additionally: fantastic audio, great atmosphere and story. But remember: it's not a S.T.A.L.K.E.R ! It's new, separate brand that is just as worth playing.

    It's great, not terrible...

    Only gripe i have is that all of the gameplay systems (apart from hard choices that really impact the world, characters and storyline) can seem basic, but they do complinet each other well. This game excels in atmosphere that draws you in, can scare and leave you with a feeling of unease. its much better than a lot of games from big studios released this    It's great, not terrible...

    Excellent game! Extremely addictive from the very start. It scared life out of me a couple of times already. Fantastic soundtrack and sound effects, great graphics, Chernobyl Zone 3D scans, dark, immersive story - what more could you want from a game? 10/10

    An experience unlike any other. Gorgeous, unnerving, and pulse-pounding, Chernobylite manages to capture the radioactive beauty of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in a way that's both unique and reminiscent of The Great Ones like Metro 2033 and STALKER (obviously). Stop wasting time, comrade, Tatiana needs your help.

    Although it took a bit of fighting from the game's part, in the end Chernobylite´s charm won us over and we were thoroughly addicted to the game´s loop with a great story to top it all off.

    An interesting return to The Zone and a perfect game to help you survive the wait for Stalker 2. Chernobylite is atmospheric, intriguing, sometimes beautiful, but also needlessly bloated with distracting elements that force you to deal with unimportant or repetitive stuff. It has its issues, but first and foremost it’s an original game with an engaging story and I do recommend it. [10/2021, p.24]
