The Farm 51 has taken an event that wracked not only Ukraine but the entire world and mixed in a sci-fi twist. While the game is already haunting with its creepy atmosphere, the knowledge that you’re visiting a real city and a disaster’s location makes it more evocative. Sometimes, all it takes for your heart to race is a sudden gasp from Igor. Creaky floors, rustling bushes, and the distant sounds of children’s laughter-the ambiance is perfect, and the timing of the sounds and music are excellent. The story feels a tad lacking in complexity without intricate side missions.ĭespite the meager story, the environments you’ll explore are wonderfully decrepit and spooky. While the main missions are engaging, it would be nice if the optional objectives were more elaborate. You’ll go on various missions where you’re tasked with completing main objectives such as finding new information about your fiancé, recruiting new allies, and killing monstrosities that threaten everyone in the Zone.īut outside of the main objectives, each area also has optional tasks ranging from finding vagabonds to trade with, unlocking doors or safes, and saving people from Chernobylite’s effects. The game immediately throws you into the game with an introduction that sets up what to expect between the mechanics and the creepy ambiance.

However, to find her, Igor must recruit allies in the Zone, stock up on ammo and food, fight both human and monstrous foes, and explore the derelict buildings to uncover the conspiracy behind his fiancé’s disappearance. You’ll play a Ukrainian physicist Igor Khymynuk looking for his missing fiancé, who disappeared 30 years ago, right before the disaster. But NAR isn’t the only party interested in the Zone. While this material is revolutionary because it allows Igor to conjure traversable wormholes, it also brings with it hostile extradimensional creatures. Following the calamity that changed the world, a material called Chernobylite began to appear in the Zone, leading a military contractor, NAR, to investigate its potential applications. A sci-fi survival horror RPG developed by The Farm 51 and published by All in! Games, the game features some fresh gameplay, engaging environments, and a gaggle of characters that are equally endearing as they are caricatures.Ĭhernobylite is set 30 years after the Chernobyl disaster. Chernobylite on the PS5 brings players to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in all its disarray and neglect.
