Chernobylite Review

Chernobylite could very well grow to become a decent alternative to the METRO and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series of games in the future, but for right now this is a very early, content lacking game with an interesting setting of the infamous Chernobyl Power Planet and the surrounding area.

The photo-scanned environment looks great, though not as good as the screenshots would have you believe, and performance, at least for me, was surprisingly good for an early-access title. But in terms of gameplay, there is very little to write home about;

Let me be clear, this is not an open world game, you are able to undertake missions for supplies, or the currently implemented story in areas that are reasonably large but ultimately rather empty. Enemy AI is laughably bad (You can walk right up to soldiers and they still take a few seconds to ‘notice’ you) and missions have a 30 minute timer, after which a particular spooky enemy will attempt to find and kill you whilst the area is ravaged by a storm, this mechanic is actually cool in concept but as of right now you will rarely ever spend more than 15 minutes in an area before you’ve seen the majority of what it has to offer. You are also only able to wield two weapons; a revolver and a shotgun, you are not able to pick up enemies rifles currently.

The base-building is fairly minimal but has the capacity to improve over time, as is the case with the majority of this games issues. Voice-acting is in Russian (I believe?) which I actually prefer, but the cadence and enthusiasm of the actors seem off.

Overall I would say to hold off purchasing the game until it sees further updates, the developers have good credentials, having developed the solid Get Even, so I have high hopes that this game will get better, but sadly I cannot recommend it in its current state.
