    This game is GREAT! Realistic graphic, great music, interesting story, cool NPC characters, fps with survival elements, base building, crafting, and much much more to discover.

    An interesting concept, a really beautiful graphic design with the help of photogrammetry and realistic mapping of real spots, in particular, the lighting deserves recognition, which is simply wonderful.

    After only one playthrough, I've learned that this is not only a masterpiece overall, but every section of work that was put into this was phenomenal. The idea of something like this is brilliant, and the story and all that it contains aligns so perfectly. It is also a work of art, the visuals are high quality, even if not playing on high setting you will still feel emerged in gameplay.After only one playthrough, I've learned that this is not only a masterpiece overall, but every section of work that was put into this was phenomenal. The idea of something like this is brilliant, and the story and all that it contains aligns so perfectly. It is also a work of art, the visuals are high quality, even if not playing on high setting you will still feel emerged in gameplay. Moments all throughout the game make you jump out of your seat(from fear or excitement), and the characters themselves are so well put together that you grow on them quite quickly. Although this game was created by a small group of people, you can tell every single person is so incredibly talented it takes gaming to a whole new level. The customization of everything in the game makes it so much more enjoyable. Probably one of my favorite aspects, though small, is the building in the game. You may be put in a limited area, but it reminds me of Fallout 4, a game everybody loves, and the freedom you have in that cannot be explained enough. When I first saw the trailer to this, I had high expectations. But even when just playing early access, my mind was blown away. If your deciding if this game is the one for you, and you like what you just heard in this post, then I 100% recommend this to you. If you aren't sure if it's worth it, I will say one thing to you; you are missing out. Expand

    Very climatic experience. Locations scanned directly in Zone are awesome (but sometimes restrained by invisible walls or bushes - game is not an Open World).

Great mix of metro, fallout, this world of mine with stalker vibes (but its not a stalker clone for sure) Expand

    Wonderful locations, climate and very interesting storyline. Not like STALKER, something a little bit different but it's worth time to play. After more than couple hours I can't stop play.

    3d scanned Chernobyl, beautiful graphics, sound effects and music make a terrific atmosphere (just don't forget to turn off the lights). Main character story is captivating and makes you wonder how all this is going to end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Не S.T.A.L.K.E.R., но что-то очень похожее, родное. Игра очень похожа на смесь Fallout 4 и S.T.A.L.K.E.R., но не всё так хорошо как у них. Стрельба и ИИ сделаны на 3/5. Expand

    I was expecting an average game, but it really hooked me up. For me it took 3-4 hours before i really started to appreciate it. It took me around 25h to complete (i started to play in EA). Great game, with good involving story and enjoyable gratifying game-play. I hope devs will follow-up with some DLCs in the future expanding the world, and I'll surely come back for another run.

  1. Chernobylite successfully blends survival, horror and FPS genres with science fiction with its storytelling style and gameplay.

    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]
