While I have criticised many of Chernobylite’s elements, I ultimately did enjoy the game. The gameplay loop is satisfying and engaging (at least for 17 or-so of the 25 hours that it took me to complete the game); the music is subtle yet memorable; the visuals are striking and even harrowing at parts – especially those based on real world locations – and the story is serviceable, with some exciting and surprising moments.
Amongst all of this however, by far the strongest and most memorable part of this game are the many companions that you will gather over the course of the game. They offer interesting conversation; new insights; comedic relief and deep philosophy. By the end of the game I really came to care for this ragtag group of resistance fighters, and for that alone, Chernobylite is worth the price of admission.
Chernobylite is available to buy on Steam for £23.79 HERE.
