Why is Igor only returning 30-years later to find Tatyana? Why are the ghostly apparitions of Tatyana so closely associated with the presence of monsters? Why does he own a portal gun powered by the mysterious Chernobylite? Why is Igor fitter than several companions half his age? All these mysteries are revealed as you unravel the plot, and the constant flow of new questions is the greatest hook the game has. She often acts as his moral compass and voice of reason, though sometimes provides ominous warnings, repeats the lines of other survivors in a raspy voice, or just rambles incoherently. What Igor fails to tell his mercenary companions is that he hears the voice of Tatyana in his mind. In the years since the disaster, the multinational “NAR” company has purchased the land, officially to prevent intrusions and the spread of contamination, while unofficially conducting experiments using the titular “chernobylite”. He’s in the hunt for his fiancé that disappeared 30 years prior.
Chernobylite review Ps4#
There were other issues in the PS4 version with saves corrupting or just disappearing, and sometimes load times, but all seems smoothed out in this iteration of the game.Chernobylite’s convoluted, intriguing, and often bat-shit crazy narrative kicks off with the player taking control of physicist Igor (the murderous Half-life-style physicist), as he returns to Chernobyl. Leaves and grass are crisp and defined, shadows are real things this time around, and a stable framerate goes a long way to adding to the immersion and the jump-scares.
Chernobylite review upgrade#
The game has gotten an upgrade to our current generation consoles and the changes are noticeable from the get go, making it my opinion that the PS5 is definitely the way to play the game. The work that went into Chernobylite’s environments, making the player feel and acknowledge the effect of radiation while in the zone, and the long term effects are some of the best things that Chernobylite originally brought to the table at the time, along with a decent enough story. As the story progresses, you build up a base with NPCs who can help you achieve your goals, with crafting and scavenging for parts becoming a core part of the gameplay loop.ĭecisions and skill points matter, and at times I thought it to be more a survival sim like Rust than a horror RPG – but I am a wuss, and the moments of horror did get me, so Chernobylite seems to prove itself on both fronts, maybe more for some than others. The game is named after the crystals that Igor uses to power his inventions, which allow him to jump in and out of ‘wormholes’ to complete missions. In doing so, things get a bit scary, and a little science fiction. You play as Igor who was a former technician at the plant before the meltdown and you return to the area to find your missing wife. If you have any interest in Chernobyl or Pripyat, this is a must play for you.Ĭhernobylite takes you to the notorious exclusion zone of the Chernobyl power plant. I have previously played Chernobylite on older generation hardware and the game is a successful and realistic horror RPG adventure into the exclusion zone. ⊗ Scavenging can become very ‘fetch-questy’ Verdict: Play Chernobylite on PS5 for an immersive horror set in an excellently crafted exclusion zone. ⊕ Gorgeous graphics on the new PS5 upgrade
⊕ The exclusion zone without real radiation sickness
