    While ostensibly a first-person RPG, Chernobylite surprises with its fun base-building and personnel management mechanics. Creepy, weird, and unique, Chernobylite offers a great story and interesting combat scenarios—even if the gunplay is a bit glitchy. An unconventionally unique game in a very cool setting, Chernobylite is recommended for those looking for something a bit different.

    Chernobylite combines some cool ideas and implements them in a way that complements the story it wants to tell. Several issues stand in its way, with potential save corruption acting as the biggest road block. Once that issue gets patched out, the core experience will offer up something unique, even if many of its gameplay elements lack depth.

    Chernobylite appears to have it all: an intriguing storyline, a phenomenal world that feels authentic and begs to be explored, and exciting survival horror gameplay. Technically, it's a mess though, with an inconsistent framerate, disappointing graphics and - worst of all - a huge gamebreaking bug that deletes your progress. What a waste...

    Chernobylite is an enjoyable little loot n’ shooter sadly torpedoed by technical issues for the PS4 version. It’s such a shame that the intriguing storyline and the compulsive scavenging fun is completely ruined by bugs. I was looking forward to uncovering the dark mysteries lurking within Pripyat, but until the game-breaking errors are fixed, they will have to remain hidden.

I got to day 23 and the game corrupted all my saves, so be on the lookout for that if you plan to play on PS4. Good mix of Fallout, the Forest and Control. In the beginning, I had 15 save slots, but as I progressed, it narrowed down to only 4 slots. They were all corrupted, so 30 hours were wasted. Was ready to see an "ending"… Full Review »

Unique concept, cool ideas, maybe a struggeling execution ... Gotta give it a low rating because of catastrophic game/save game bugs that destroy your progress.

    Lost ten hours on my run, the game always restarts on "Day 0" now even when I want to load an older save file. It took a little while for me to get into the game and just when I was starting to be hooked, everything is lost. And it looks like I am definitely not the only one with this issue, too. Very unfortuante, very sad. Maybe this can be patched in the future ...    … Full Review »
