Chernobylite

The game gets tedious very quickly. I’ve spent roughly 5 hours playing and I already feel like I’ve discovered all there is to know. Such a shame as the game previews show a completely different experience than you’ll actually find yourself playing.

The GOG Version of Chernobylite is out of date as owners of the game on steam, have gotten the complete edition. This alongside the fact that even fallout 4 on gog is outdated makes recommending GOG difficult. My advice? Until GOG actually get off their asses and up the games, don't bother with this store. People who buy games here deserve to have an up to date product that has all the features that the game has on both Steam and Epic. GOG doesn't even have integrity to place a little warning on games like how Steam does. e.g. Need For Speed Unbound on Steam has warnings about how that game requires 3rd Party DRM (Denuvo) and agreement to a 3rd Party EULA (Need For Speed Unbound Eula). GOG doesn't bother warning its customers by putting such warnings on the games to inform their customers that the games aren't up to date and that its up to the customer if they want to wait for the game to be updated or buy it as it is.

I returned the game after about 30 minutes of playing for one reason: 1) Things I use or collect can light up - although I own a device that allows me to view things that can be collected. Why are the items/herbs/etc. even without device with outline and also highlighted? Dear Developer, why do you think us players are stupid? If you have never played Skyrim - collectible items are not highlighted there. Because it's not necessary either. Because as a player I can actually learn to scan the game environment. If this function can be switched off, then it is well hidden or not clearly found in the options. And I was looking for it. Be that as it may, it is a pity that I was slapped right at the beginning of your game and you may take it as an insult. Because I already believe that you have given yourself a lot of effort with the game - which alone shows the far too long tutorial. But I don't want to play games anymore that don't take me seriously as a player and, as described above, take away the immersion through such design decisions. If it were at least optimal - for computer game beginners with highlighted items - and for experienced players...

You gotta love a Chernobyl-themed game that has you adjust the GAMMA when you first load it. Chernobylite takes a somewhat different approach than STALKER, but the gloomy charm of the Zone is pretty much the same.

It's a good game with a lot of potential, but there are misses... like the crafting system is a mess when it comes to execution ?! I mean it's a heck just to build stuff and to "see the big picure". Also the game mechanic itself has some flaws, like the soliders repating the same sentenices over and over, the AI is not very clever and sometimes it just feels like a game that came out in the early 2000's. Not all bad thu, i'm liking the game but there are small things that adds up to just 3/5 for me.
