It\u2019s been almost three years since I first played Chernobylite<\/strong>, pre-Covid which is something. It came out around the time of the hit miniseries Chernobyl which is based on the Chernobyl disaster. When I was playing it for the first time, it was in early access on Steam. I enjoyed playing it on the PC and wondered how it fared on the PlayStation 5. Does it run smoothly? Does it still hold its own? And whether I would enjoy playing it again on a nice big TV screen rather than a PC monitor. The good news is that it looks incredible and played smoothly and I haven\u2019t come across any bugs or problems that would affect my gameplay or experience. It is \u00a324.99, which for a next-gen title is cheap, you can pick it up digitally or physically depending on which one you prefer. My main goal for this review is to see how fair it has come since my playthrough on the PC and whether it managed to live up to the expectation, I outlined in the preview I did many years ago.<\/p>\n

For those that might not be in the loop, here is a breakdown of what Chernobylite is about. It is a survival horror RPG that is set in a sci-fi semi-open world. You\u2019ll play as Igor Khymynyuk, who was once a worker at the Chernobyl Power Plant at the time of the disaster. You must uncover the mysterious of the contamination zone and try to find out the truth behind the disappearance of his fianc\u00e9e, who disappeared thirty years ago in Chernobyl. Uncover the chilling adventure while you try and survive in the beautifully 3D-scanned recreation of the real Exclusion zone and piece together the mysteries, horrors and conspiracy to get to the truth.<\/p>\n
