Chernobylite

Its better put together than most of the in development games I've purchased in the past. It has bugs as you would expect and its crashed on me in the couple hours I've played. Some of the voice acting is missing or sometimes just doesnt play. Alot of the negitave reviews seem to have valid complaints about the game. It would be nice to see better animations and sounds or just more sounds for doing things like takedowns. (when I did them there was no sound at all) It would also be nice to have an option to not have the missions be timed. This is a pretty solid foundation for a game and I'm really interested to see where it goes. The plus side is hopefully the developers will see the negitive or mixed reviews and make some changed to reflect how people feel.

I bought it to maybe support the devs, but as it is I can not really play it. Even with low settings the game is 10-20 FPS for me, this with i7 and RTX2070. Went through the intro, tried first mission and I think the potential for this to be really good addition to Stalker like games is high. Anyways, I'll check back later to see if this game actually can be played to see more how it is like.

This game is really great! Atmosphere, lots of mechanics, story, charachters. I'm pretty sure this could be Mass Effect of nowadays, if it had bigger budget. The only downside is lack of money spend for the development, so there are stubs here or there. Not good enough animations for some rare actions, nice but not great music and sound, only one weapon of each kind. I really hope developers will have a chance to create the next game with much better financing. There's definitely a potencial for a masterpiece.

No AAA, however it's a small gem.

I never got into Metro/Stalker, which many people here compare it to. I tried both, but got frustrated with both pretty fast. This one I actually enjoyed, as I always wanted to explore the zone. I didn't experience any bugs, and loved the game. The story is quite interesting, although I do find the characters irritating (except the old man, as I later found out by conincidence the story of the rat king he keeps referring too is apparently some sort of Russian/Ukrainian fable (which makes sense given how criticism of the ruling class was prohibited for long periods in history in that part of the world). Once you have access to improved weapons, the fighting also is quite fun. It really feels like you'd expect a game like this to feel. I think I played it on a Ryzen 1700 / 1070 GTX setup (was a while ago), and look forward to my next playthrough which I will soon start. I really like the idea of being able to set up devices in the wilderness that will affect the environment, and having them remain there next time you enter the same area. The athmosphere is amazing.
