    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.

    Chernobylite is not without its flaws on PS4, particularly the broken save system that corrupts older saves. It just wasn't bad enough to keepChernobylite is not without its flaws on PS4, particularly the broken save system that corrupts older saves. It just wasn't bad enough to keep me from enjoying it immensely though. The simple fact is this is otherwise one of the most immersive survival games I've played in recent years. It's an intense daily trek exploring a real rendering of Pripyat scavenging for food, meds, supplies and ammo as you recruit other survivors to storm the dangers of the Chernobyl Plant in search for your lost loved one. The story and characters are great, the climax is fantastic and the gameplay is finely managed with a really good base-building system. If they can fix the save system, Chenobylite could become the best original game I've played this year.… Expand

    An absolutely missed opportunity to create something out of this fascinating world of chernobyl.
    The game is technically at the level of    An absolutely missed opportunity to create something out of this fascinating world of chernobyl.
    The game is technically at the level of 2005. They conceived the whole zone beautifully realistically, but that's the only thing that worked.
    The game has almost no story, the only thing you do is get out of the base on absolutely boring loot quests, round and round stealth with stupid AI. Amateurism comes out of it, sorry. I know it's a game from a smaller team and it's at a lower price. But this is real waste. I give 3/10 due to the graphic design of the zone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Concept, Extremely Poor Execution

    I was really looking forward to this game but was sorely disappointed. I played the 30 minute or so intro and immediately lost interest. I must say the story itself is interesting, but the actual gameplay is trash. I’m playing the PS4 version on my PS5 and the graphics look like they are PS3-era. Most of the reviews saying the graphics are good usually come from PC players. If they come from a console player, they must’ve been playing PS2/3 for the past few years. The game also grows old very quickly and is fairly repetitive. Gun play is poor as well, inventory system takes a minute to get used to, and it feels bare bones. I wish I could get my $32 back and I would strongly suggest not getting this game at all or until significant changes are made.    … Expand
