And it is not scary ALL the time. And you may find some small bugs still. But there are buckets of atmosphere, the story is engaging, and the graphics, oh man! For the fans of the Zone a must have.

I was pleasantly surprised, but I had a pretty low expectation coming into it. Not scary at all, unless you count some jump-scares once every 5 missions scary.

   The VA was hit or miss, the side-characters had much more charm than the main one did, with that british accent. Better than the russian voice tho, where I literally had to look at the pictures, it felt like one dude was doing 3 voices at the start.

   One dude said normal is way too easy at some point, and I agree. While at the start I was still bothering with stealth, mid-game and towards the end i was just casually murdering everything, poppin a vodka and whistling to the objective.

   The ending was only half-predictable, so props for that! But the «bad» ending was really underwhelming.

   Base building, again like with the difficulty, was charming only at the beginning. Around the 4th side-kick i’d already built pretty much everything and was stockpiling ammo and gas, was srsly building closets for revolver ammo…. Balance that out a bit my guys.

   Overall I enjoyed it, and I’d recommend it, but not as a Stalker or Metro replacement. Considering it’s a small-ish studio with no srs gaming cred, it was a good game.… Expand

   Good graphics. Horrible mechanics. Good sound. Horrible game. Uninstalled after the first lightening strike gave me a gun and the second one landed me in Pripyat to be presented with a horrible intro on how to use the gun and avoid being hit.

   If I had paid for it I would be refunding it immediately.… Expand

Games about Chernobyl on PC

A list of games about Chernobyl, which, in addition to the obvious Stalker series, includes other good shooters (online and single player) that allow you to run with a gun at the ready through the Exclusion Zone, look into the ghost town of Pripyat and even get close to the Chernobyl.

At the same time, the puzzles are not easy and will make you break your head. And although the game itself is short, it is difficult to break away from it. nine0003

Chernobyl: Road of Death

Top-down shooter Chernobyl: Road of Death is reminiscent of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. — as planned, the player finds himself on the territory of Chernobyl after the disaster, and he has to fight the military, mutants and radiation. The global goal is to prevent a new catastrophe, but this will be very difficult to achieve.

The action in the game is solid, but much more interesting are the elements of survival, well-integrated into the gameplay. So, the gamer is forced to constantly fight with radiation and acid rain. And he also needs to look for food, and at night hide from monsters in a tent. All in all, this is another great Chernobyl game worth checking out. nine0003

Chernobyl VR Project

An interesting project for virtual reality devices called Chernobyl VR Project. This is not quite a game, but rather an interactive virtual tour that allows you to wander around certain places of Pripyat (so far 3 locations are available: a school, a hut and an apartment building) and view documentary 360° videos and photos. All this with comments from the creators, as well as audio recordings of the stories of people who once lived here.

Since the Chernobyl VR Project is in early access at the time of this writing, there is reason to believe that in the future its scale and capabilities will increase significantly, and we will get a truly original and interesting project about Pripyat. nine0003

Left 4 Dead 2: «Chernobyl: Chapter One» (DLC)

Chernobyl: Chapter One is a DLC for the zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2. Writing about add-ons is a bit unfair to other games that have similar modifications, but we decided to highlight this one, because it was created by fans for 9 (!) years.

DLC is a full-fledged campaign — players will go to quite atmospheric and recognizable locations of Chernobyl. They, like other companies, have to escape from this place, but the hordes of zombies and mutants, of course, will not allow this to be done so easily.
