Chernobylite Complete Edition

I genuinely think this game is great, but the finale really upset me. You can tell the developers poured their hearts and souls into this project. The visuals are outstanding, crisp with high-fidelity, and the locations are undeniably gorgeous and well-crafted. The music composed by Mikolai Stroinski felt really in-tune and in-character with the concept and setting of the game; the acoustics from the main menu and after each mission are really memorable. The characters are extremely fleshed out and extremely human, they really felt like they've lived a life of their own before meeting the protagonist, with their own beliefs and agendas. Kudos for the voice actors for having to speak so much dialogue, and with great performances. The story itself was really compelling, and the concept that the game was trying to convey is honestly such a fascinating idea, backed with sensical reasoning and scientific research to an extent. The developers absolutely did their research when developing this game, and it shows clearly throughout the game. I was also genuinely super invested in the plot of Igor and Tatyana; the idea of a madman searching for his wife who's a voice in his head for the length of the game is such an unique idea for a nuanced and in-depth protagonist that not many game studios choose to use. However, that revelation in the finale of the game really did ruin the experience for me- the entire sequence as a whole did, actually. The plot twist with regards to Igor I found to be absolutely unnecessary. The gameplay itself is pretty outdated, and inevitably wears its welcome for the sake of storytelling. I did play the game on Easy which nullifies the need to search for items later on in the game- leaving me essentially invincible, but I'm certain playing the game on harder difficulties will only add unbelievable frustration since I was playing primarily for the story. The choices in this game are certainly impactful, but without a guide to approach each choice, the consequences personally seem unforgiving considering the characters can leave permanently after you made a choice they don't like, which can bar you from ceratin quests. Additionally, the game only gives you two main quests to complete before you're able to complete more main quests, which gives the fear that you'll inevitably lose a stalker or a board investigation without you realizing, or honestly, even without you having a choice. If you want to recruit them again, you're encouraged to have another playthrough which considering how long the game's story is, is dreadfully demotivating since the gameplay itself is streamlined. The audio is okay, there's some parts of it that are undercooked like the portal gun opening the wormhole is just non-existent. The variety in enemies are quite limited in both the NAR and the Shadows, and quite sparse, at least when I played the game (again, I played it in Easy so they might've not appeared as much.) The building feature is very surface-level, and there isn't much content when it comes to filling the warehouse. The variety in materials and weaponry is also quite limited and basic, but that feels understandable to me. Personally, I don't mind the issues I pointed out above because I was genuinely really absorbed in the story and the characters that you're able to recruit. I think the abundant dialogue- to the dismay of other players, was honestly great in my eyes. I really enjoyed the conversations that Igor had with the other stalkers and with Tatyana. Tatyana is such a tragic and amazing character, which makes it all the more heartbreaking to how half-assed the final sequence of the game felt, and how horrendous that plot twist with Igor is. It really did leave such a sour taste in my mouth, especially after enjoying the story for this many hours. Do I recommend the game? Yes, it still is a good game with a very interesting story to tell and a great cast of characters, but it is also quite flawed, which I think is a shame.

Chernobylite, достаточно средняя по исполнению игра, содержит элементы survival horror, фильма категории B, выпусков Telltale Games, стелса, шутера от первого лица и вышла как раз во время ожидания S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3727639015 Chernobylite напоминает Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain — полуоткрытый мир, разделённый на несколько часто посещаемых локаций, изменяющиеся со временем окружение и враги, связанный со строительством базы игровой процесс. Это одновременно самая интересная особенность и источник всех недостатков. Финальный штурм АЭС напоминает задание из Mass Effect 2 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3733343489 Плюсы: графика и атмосфера; Минусы: сбор ресурсов, а не артефактов, однообразие и небольшие локации https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3739618512

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 satisfying balance — fair, yet genuinely challenging. (If you are keen on history, learning more about the Chernobyl events (maybe after watching the Documentary series), or you just loved Fallout New Vegas, Fallout IV, Alan Wake, or any S.T.A.L.K.E.R game, this is the game for you). I fell head over heels for this game during the first eight hours. The story caught me completely off guard, and I was hooked — until the 12+ hour mark, where some gameplay-related fatigue started to creep in. That said, the gameplay loop itself felt excellent throughout: the scenarios were varied enough to stay fresh, and resource gathering never became a chore, since the standard quests supply you with more than enough to get by. In many ways, this game felt perfect precisely because it ended before the 20-hour mark. I loved every part of it sneaking past guards, stalking through the shadows early on, then later switching to sniping enemies or just going full Rambo. And it was perfect because it ended when it did. Because I loved every single second of it, and there were no seconds left to grow tired of. Performance: Running on an i7-12700K, RTX 3050 Ti (laptop), 16GB DDR5, and a 500GB SSD — the game ran flawlessly on High settings with Frame Generation (Quality mode) at a steady 50–60 FPS.

Гриндилка ресурсов в полуоткрытом мире с посредственным сюжетом, плоскими персонажами, деревянной стрельбой, никакущим стелсом и тупым менджментом базы. Попытались сделать упор на всём по чуть-чуть, в итоге везде получилось хорошо, но чуть-чуть. В общем, игру прошёл не без удовольствия, но последние несколько часов (пол игры) доигрывал пролистывая диалоги и убивая всех подряд. На 3/10.

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.

Das Spiel ist seit 2021 auf dem Markt und befindet sich immer noch in einem katastrophalen Zustand. Überall Bugs, grundlegende Funktionen funktionieren nicht zuverlässig, viele Probleme werden seit Jahren ignoriert. Statt das Spiel endlich technisch in Ordnung zu bringen, wird weiter Geld verlangt. Das wirkt unprofessionell und respektlos gegenüber den Spielern.

Я не понял как за 1.5 часа игра превратилась из сюжетного шутера в буквально тарков, интерес нулевой, ходишь с детектером лутаешь всё че видишь и строишь базу. Хорошая игра про зону) Не понимаю восторга вокруг неё, имхо игра на 3/10, оптимизон хороший, но карту греет знатно

Aggressively mid. The base-building exists in a vacuum segregated from the actual gameplay. The maps are small and empty. The gameplay loop is repetitive and quite boring.
