Critic Reviews for Chernobylite
An ambitious and atmospheric adventure undercut by some simplistic mechanics.
Slight repetition can't diminish the incredible atmoshpere of Farm 51's post-apocalyptic survival game.
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 offers a deep survival game experience that offers elements of sci-fi, horror and RPG. It's hard to call this a survival horror title, but all the management aspects and the branching storylines will provide fans of the survival genre plenty to enjoy.
We liked much of Chernobylite and this is a playable port with a fairly solid frame rate, but too many things held us back from scoring it any higher - the graphical downgrade, the tedious death loop, and most egregiously, the multiple crashes that we experienced throughout. We never lost any progress but almost a dozen crashes in the 15-20 hour runtime are worth noting.
Chernobylite does the tension of survival better than most, but the hokey horror element lets it down.
Fans of hardcore survival games might find Chernobylite a little too easy-going, while horror aficionados may not be horrified enough. But if you're looking for a more balanced experience with a compelling world and a lot of varied mechanics, Chernobylite is well worth investigating.
The Farm 51 re-signs a title with a unique approach, combining genres as disparate as survival and management, and it does so with success. The versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are superior, but they continue to drag flaws (improvable AI, visual failures ...) that if polished, could close a superior experience.
