    I've been playing this game for a while now and I have to say, it's really impressed me. The open world of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone isI've been playing this game for a while now and I have to say, it's really impressed me. The open world of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is full of things to do, from searching for artifacts and hunting mutants to exploring new locations and completing quests. The faction wars are intense and there are plenty of session modes for players who don't have a lot of time to play.

    The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are stunning. The sound design is also top-notch, with immersive ambient sounds and great voice acting. The story is engaging and the side quests are well-written, offering a lot of choice and rewarding players with interesting loot.

    Overall, I'd highly recommend this game to fans of the Stalker series or anyone who enjoys open world survival shooters. It's definitely worth checking out.

    Yo, this game is tight. It's a solid post-apocalyptic shooter with a bunch of locations to explore, and lots of activities to keep youYo, this game is tight. It's a solid post-apocalyptic shooter with a bunch of locations to explore, and lots of activities to keep you occupied. The design is on point and the atmosphere is on point. If you ain't got what it takes to navigate through the game and die, then this ain't the game for you. But for those who can handle it, it's definitely worth a try, especially if you're a fan of games like Tarkov and DayZ. Gotta plan your route and be ready to lose some loot, but the rewards are worth it. Just wish there were more rewards for pumpin' up your base. Give it a shot, players! Expand

There's always something going on and the PvP between players keeps you on the edge of your seat. The main story and side quests have decent rewards and storylines. Emissions are a big part of the game, so there's lots of shootouts between players and a good chance to grab some expensive loot. Expand

    Hour 1 is full of dialogue and barely any shooting, which made my only friend who agreed to try this game quit. horrible new playerHour 1 is full of dialogue and barely any shooting, which made my only friend who agreed to try this game quit. horrible new player experience. The grind > upgrade > grind loop hooked me.

    Lack of fast travel, even in the initial locations, makes running around the areas quickly tiresome within the first few hours of gameplay. There is an option in the game to assemble an artifact set that speeds up the character's running, but this is a later stage of the game.

    The bosses in the game are quite simple in terms of intelligence, but the developers gave them millions of HP, which I consider a clear disadvantage.

    That's a fair assessment. Many players find the initial 20-30 hours of quest running a bit monotonous, but once you push through that, the game becomes more engaging.

    While the game itself is decent for a "block" game, just a lot of QoL stuff needs to be added.

    -Currently, the PvP is not rewarding but not punishing either, its a chore unless you make the fun yourself. Its not something you need to run away from, as most early barter items, ammo etc come in abundance. Its Low Risk with High Reward. If you die, you lose 5 minutes of your time. If you win, you get some basic barter items out of it, that is it.
    -Stamina needs to be a fifth of what it currently is. Maps are in a way halved between Bandit side and Stalker side, and if you are even slightly in the opposite territory, you are at a major disadvantage. If you happen to kill a player or make a single noise, the whole half of the map is after you. If you happen to outsmart multiple players and start looting them, those players only take below a minute to get back on your ass because everyone runs like Usain Bolt. This goes hand in hand with the former point, where PvP is not rewarding neither punishing, you die, you quick loot your, and then zerg that area with your friend group.
    If a single player is able to group wipe you, they should not be rewarded by being able to swarm you under a minute while you are looting. Decrease the stamina to a 5th it currently is, or add a respawn timer that at minimum is like 20 seconds. Playing well should be viable, not playing zerg.
    -Sound. I have all my audio max as well as 4db extra on my mixer, and I can not for the love of me hear people walking around me, outside of my party members or rats. Make running and walking noise way, WAY louder, and make crouch make faint sound, so rat behavior is not as rewarding.
    -Revive and dbno state is fine. Just have like 0.5 second invulnerability window after a player goes down. This would reward positioning and skillful engagements, where if you happen to go down, its unlikely that you are gonna get instakilled during the initial knock animation as you are forced prone, just because the player happened to have a weapon with a high Rof.

    As of right now, 6 hours in game, me and my friend have a collective 150 kills to a combined deaths of below 20. This is because every time we happen to kill a group of zergs that don't know how to move a mouse, they run back after death 40-50 seconds in, while we are looting, so its a constant back and forth between us sitting and waiting for our chance to loot that zerg group without getting over weight, and them just continuously running through most of the map in a record time.

    Negative review for the single reason that this game does not reward playing and positioning well, but zerging in groups. Arguments like "Just play in a group yourself" do make sense, but the point of this review is that if you are a good player, you should be rewarded for that. If you kill a group of zergs, that same group of zergs should not be able to run back halfway or more through the map while I'm still looting them from the initial fight.
