Chernobylite is special. If you enjoy RPGs that feature things like crafting, base building, team management, and heists, the ambitious Chernobylite is one that you won’t want to miss.
Chernobylite may not be the deepest survival game or the most competent stealth/ shooter game, but it nevertheless completely hooked us in its Chernobyl setting as well as its mature story and characters, culminating in an excellently crafted final mission.
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 ****. 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.
Chernobylite's great survival horror gameplay, top-notch atmosphere, and excellent audiovisual presentation make it a must-play title for any fan of games like STALKER.
Chernobylite is a great survival game with a solid sci-fi story that is definitely above what we’re used to find in similar games, although it also falls shorts in some aspects by trying to do more than it should.
A game carried by a good story, great atmosphere and solid gunplay, but let down by routine missions and bland non-combat features. Even so, the result is fun to play.
Chernobylite is a frustrating game. It’s far from unenjoyable, but there was so much potential here for something greater. At its core, it’s a fantastic recreation of Chernobyl that’s inundated with mechanics that aren’t required to enjoy this game. The Farm 51 nail atmosphere and the world, yet never seemed satisfied with what they actually wanted the game to be. It doesn’t ruin the overall experience for Chernobylite, which manages to hit the goalpost of greatness before rebounding into the net of mediocrity.
Despite the flaws, something about Chernobylite feels like it's primed to enjoy cult classic status. Troubled but daring games are often the subject of smaller but passionate fanbases, and Chernobylite is nothing is not daring. Several of those gambles don't payout in the end, but the journey is always a weird one, even if not always an exciting one.
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.
Measured by the entire content of the game you're missing a bit here to really get close to the contents of an AAA game.
Graphically and atmospherically, related to the authentic environment and events of Thernobyl and the reactor disaster, the game gets a full 10/10 from me. Both together really creates maximum immersion.
However, there are some shortcomings and annoying things in the game here and there that stop me from given a fully positiv review.
Nevertheless, the game was a lot of fun and I'm glad I bought it. But I don't see any re-play value here.
This was a relatively decent game. I was pleasantly surprised, but I had a pretty low expectation coming into it. Not scary at all, unless you count some jump-scares once every 5 missions scary.
The VA was hit or miss, the side-characters had much more charm than the main one did, with that british accent. Better than the russian voice tho, where I literally had to look at the pictures, it felt like one dude was doing 3 voices at the start.
One dude said normal is way too easy at some point, and I agree. While at the start I was still bothering with stealth, mid-game and towards the end i was just casually murdering everything, poppin a vodka and whistling to the objective.
The ending was only half-predictable, so props for that! But the "bad" ending was really underwhelming.
Base building, again like with the difficulty, was charming only at the beginning. Around the 4th side-kick i'd already built pretty much everything and was stockpiling ammo and gas, was srsly building closets for revolver ammo.... Balance that out a bit my guys.
Overall I enjoyed it, and I'd recommend it, but not as a Stalker or Metro replacement. Considering it's a small-ish studio with no srs gaming cred, it was a good game.
I feel conned by this game. It tries hard to be Metro Exodus, Stalker and Fallout 76 all at the same time and fails at all of them. The soundtrack is almost non-existent, the grind is terrible and story is shallow and pointless. 10 hours into this thing and it is just a painful chore. The autosave system **** and is poorly thought out. I can't imagine this game getting a user review average of 8.2. I know everyone wants a new Stalker game but this is not it. Stay away and save your money for better things.
Could have been great, but there are so many bugs - but worst is corruption of save games, which makes loading a save game a horror on its own.
You'll spawn in the wrong place surrounded by enemies who starts shooting at you from the start... This has happened to me on multiple save games from different timestamps. The enemies spawned are some already killed at the time of save. Poor quality devs.
It does not matter how the game is when you can't rely on the save games - progress is lost and you're left wondering what else was not saved correctly. I'm avoiding this developer in the furture.
