“Personal Rating: Mostly Positive (75%) I was ready to fire a negative review on this, but it's actually pretty good. Graphics looks phenomenal and the game does not stutter much. It holds that 60FPS even on Ultra…”
“Chernobylite — The Masterpiece After My Heart I loved this game's concept. It brought me back to the vibe of the old S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, while also feeling distinct enough to stand on its own. The difficulty struck a…”

“It isn't STALKER, but it takes some notes from it. This is more of a game for story than its gameplay. While the gameplay itself isn't bad by any means, its depth is a bit on the shallow side. You have a handful of…”

“As a fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games Chernobylite was an easy sell, but it was the gorgeous graphics that finalized the transaction. I didn't know much else about the game when I started playing it, so I was a little…”

“Lures you in with promises of slow burn psychological horror only to pull the rug and reveal an open worlder so generic I half expected to see Ubisoft in the credits.”
“This is not a Stalker game, just remember that. Chernobylite is filled with endless talking NPCs and the most repetitive missions you'll ever see. The story is so far fetched and while there were many points in the plot…”

“What a journey it has been. When i asked how long to beat about this game it said 19-35hrs. I completed the game with just over 47hrs. This was a great game (solid 8.5/10) though I prefer and recommend to use the FLiNG…”

“I'm surprised at how well the game presented itself in its first moments. It was practically designed with purpose, contrary to my idea that it was gonna be a STALKER clone. For the price I got it for during the sale,…”
“Story is a bit weak. AI Sucks(really bad) even on insane difficulty it's easy. Some Missions are really repetitive. Voice acting is nice except one side/teammate character. There are some positives but it gets stale…”
“I don't play a lot of horror games but this game is fun, it has a good story and feels quite balanced early game. The games erie soundtrack fits perfectly to keep you on edge, the same with the atmosphere of the levels.…”

“Chernobylite is a hesitant thumbs up for me. TL;DR it is a game with great production values, a solid plot (hard to follow at times and with a poor twist at the end), and a really well-developed universe to explore and live in, but that is marred by poor pacing and repetitive…”

The Basebuilding is fun, until you're maxed out after 3 hours, after which there is no Point looting rescources. You'll know the locations by that time too. The Cooling Towers map is sooooo…”
