TheGamerSam WatanukiJul 20214.5/5 starsChernobylite is special. If you enjoy RPGs that feature things like crafting, base building, team management, and heists, the ambitious Chernobylite is one that you won’t want to miss.

World Of Geek StuffAmanda BlainJul 20215/5 starsThe fact that so many different genres of games meshed into one magnificent masterpiece is something very impressive in itself. On top of that, the team used actual photogrammetry of Chernobyl to truly put you in the actual haunting environment of Chernobyl. Mix in some interesting game mechanics, a crazy cast of characters, and some of the best voice acting I've heard in a while. Finish it off with the fact that there are no bugs in my playthrough. I can't give Chernobylite enough credit for what they have accomplished.

Garage Band GamersChad JohnsonOct 202110/10Chernobylite is like playing with a dozen jigsaw puzzles that were taken out of the box, dumped into a trash bag, shaken, and then put back together in an almost perfect way.

Nintendo LifeOliver RevoltaDec 20245/10We liked much of Chernobylite and this is a playable port with a fairly solid frame rate, but too many things held us back from scoring it any higher - the graphical downgrade, the tedious death loop, and most egregiously, the multiple crashes that we experienced throughout. We never lost any progress but almost a dozen crashes in the 15-20 hour runtime are worth noting.

TheSixthAxisNick PetrasitiApr 20225/10Chernobylite is a game that's dripping in atmosphere, but doesn't quite hit the mark in other areas. If you can get past its clunky shooting and stealth mechanics, there's some fun to be had in base building and people management.
