Chernobylite is a survival horror roleplaying game set – you guessed it – in the Chernobyl excursion zone. Despite this, this is not a clone of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., far from it. Although it has certainly taken inspiration from it – for example there are anomalies and mutants in the game – both the story and the setting are quite different. The priorities of the game are not the same either; while S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games put most of its effort into combat and gunplay, Chernobylite focuses on the story and the characters.
That is not to say the gameplay is bad, as a matter of fact it’s quite solid (though combat aspects can be a bit weak at times). But it is firmly overshadowed by the story. Chernobylite really is an RPG first and foremost; the amount of choices you can make is immense, and most of them will have an impact on the story later. Thanks to this branching approach to the storyline, the game has a lot of replayability.
Chernobylite released on many platforms: it is available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and of course on Windows. It does not support Apple computers, but with the help of our guide, you will be able to play Chernobylite on Mac as well.
