The combat mechanics of Chernobylite are really nothing to write home about. It is very possible to complete the vast majority of these missions without firing a single bullet or really even killing anyone. I personally don't have the patience required for stealth-based games, so I typically decided to go the guns blazing route. These missions take place in a few different semi-open world areas around Chernobyl, and it's up to the player how they complete the objective. Many of them have objectives like "Find this supply drop that contains food/medicine" or "Sneak into this location to steal some NAR weapons". Igor's main mission may be to find his wife, but much of the game's missions are centered around finding resources that will aid Igor and his team in surviving within the Exclusion Zone. A mercenary organization called the NAR has taken control of the zone, so Igor must put together a ragtag group of fighters and survivors to fight against the mercs and uncover the answers that he seeks.Įxplore the Exclusion Zone There is a lot to see in the Exclusion Zone. The problem is that Igor isn't the only one digging into the dark past of Chernobyl. Thirty years later Igor has decided to return to the Exclusion Zone in order to investigate the mystery surrounding the meltdown and figure out what happened to his wife.

During the chaos and confusion of the reactor meltdown, Igor's wife, Tatyana, disappeared without a trace. Players are put in the shoes of a scientist named Igor who worked on the reactor that turned Chernobyl into a radioactive wasteland. Chernobylite sometimes feels stretched a little thin between its several ideas and mechanics, but that doesn't stop it from being an incredible experience from beginning to end.

Is it a brutal first-person shooter? A stealth-based survival horror? A resource management/base-building strategy game? All of these descriptions could be attributed to Chernobylite, but ultimately none of them would be capable of doing the final result justice. Furthermore, you’ll have to explore a harsh and unforgiving world, brought to life thanks to the “hyper-realistic, 3D-scans” of the area, fight against all manners of enemies and embark on a thrilling adventure.Even after spending several dozen hours with Farm 51's Chernobylite, I still have absolutely no idea what genre to classify it in. Players will take on the role of Igor, an ex-employee of the Chernobyl Power Plant, who returns 30 years later to investigate the disappearance of his fiancee. Wojciech Pazdur ~ The Farm 51 Image Credit – The Farm 51 What Is Chernobylite?Ĭhernobylite is a survival horror RPG set in the wasteland of Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone. While the delay is unfortunate, it’s also entirely necessary to live up to everyone’s expectations. We have complete trust that the All in! Games team is doing everything in their power to successfully bring Chernobylite to our fans on console. Director of Development at The Farm 51, Wojciech Pazsur, remains confident that All in! Games will be able to get the console port out soon. Frankly, after the travesty that befell the ever-controversial Cyberpunk 2077, delaying the console port seems like a good decision. Żygadło goes on to say that “We want to make sure we always deliver projects that are in excellent shape and pushing Chernobylite’s console release date back a few weeks will allow us to accomplish that”. Well, according to publisher All in! Games’ CEO, Piotr Żygadło, “unforeseen issues with the console build” has led to them delaying the launch. Publisher All in! Games and developer The Farm 51 have announced that the long-awaited console port of Chernobylite has been delayed until late September.Ĭhernobylite, the critically acclaimed sci-fi survival horror RPG, was originally intended to release in just a few days on the 7th of September.
