Critic Reviews
Chalgyr's Game Room
By David HolzsagerChernobylite is a captivating first person shooter adventure that blends survival and roguelite elements into a thoroughly engaging, conspiratorial sci-fi/horror mystery to unravel.
Last Word on Gaming
By Michael HanichThis was a game where I was pleasantly surprised by how riveting the story was. The characters, the story, and the villains continued to engage my interest. The sounds, music, and noise were true to the nature of the game and the setting. There are times when the background effects, such as the lightning and the flames are very good, but as the player gets closer, they start to become drifty. The effects and scenery are good, but some effects can cause the game to glitch slightly. It is even more glitchy when going through the portals. The missions are more simplistic, and the action/shooting is subpar, but the game needs tend to make up for it in stealth and building. The main purpose of this game is to get to the objectives, mainly through stealth, and while the diversity of the missions is lacking, there is no doubt they can be engaging. For players who want to be invested in a game that takes time and a lot of strategizing in a horrifying setting, Chernobylite is the game for them.
GamesCreed
By Junior OnunkwoChernobylite looks a lot fresher on the PlayStation 5. The developer had done a splendid job in identifying the main issues from the previous-gen console and fixed them, as well as enhanced the game’s current features and overall produced a more playable and enjoyable title.
GameSkinny
By Jonathan MooreChernobylite's next-gen upgrade makes it the best version of the game on consoles, even if it still suffers from a vein of inconsistency.
Thumb Culture
By Thumb CultureChernobylite is going to be a bit like marmite – You are going to either love it or hate it. The blend of several styles maybe too much for some people.
