Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone Steam Charts & Stats

Mega Patch 03 is good, but need more improvements and contents

Ehh its fine if you expect it. Honestly, the og Chernobylite felt better. Like it felt like real life and it was just better. The game is still in its early version so I hope the devs make it a better experience for 40 dollars. The original game felt way more Chernobyl and the weapons seemed better compared to this game. I was seeking an experience similiar to stalker 2 like open world, wide weapon selection, and good graphics, the game has an open world I heard and the graphics seem good. But I am not sure about the weapon selection. If the game was cheaper than I would not complain but the 40 dollars wasted have to be worth it.

I like many here loved the first game. I was a little worried when we had the teaser trailer and showed some kind of third person action rpg but I was still excited and tried the demo as soon as it was available. It was in a wordc rough. Thankfully I can now report that the game while still not perfect is already in a much better place and the effort the team has put towards appealing to the players is already clear as day. optional first/third person perspectives with the ability to switch at will, much better performance, and refining of the games core systems. I recall all too clearly the first game sitting on my wishlist for a long time in early access leaning towards mostly negative but eventually turning it all around and blowing me away when it came out as a polished unique game of a quality I did not expect. I have faith the devs can do the same thing again and while I was unsure of their swap to third person on launch I still think they have a unique and grand idea for a game here and I can't wait to watch them see it through.

this game is awesome . is early release so changing and at times glitchy but well worth it i cant wait for the full release and them to finish out the story:)

I played first Chernobylite on console and really loved it. The second part raised my doubts when announced and released in early access but after last update I watched on trailer that devs changed many things and now it's a right sequel so I tried and I can say I'm very happy. Chernobylite 2 plays like the original one just with more options and more freedom in gameplay. The world is bigger and there's more things to do. The story evolves in interesting way. RPG elements on broad scale are natural evolution considering the scale of the new game. Even in early access the game feels much bigger and rich than the first part. The optimization feels OK, no stuttering on my RTX 3090 pc.

Feels like a really janky amalgamation of different games. Bit of Elder Scrolls mixed with STALKER, Elex, and of course the first Chernobylite. It's been decently enjoyable for the time I've put into it. There is a lot of work to be done but has me interested to see the end goal and product. Seems to run decently well on my PC maxed out (4070-S, 5800X3D) but have noticed a bit of hiccups here and there and some performance degradation over time. Decently fun if you're willing to go with the Eurojank and EA jank.

They took everything from the first game... removed the good things and decreased the performance - at least on my system - in it's current state not even close to be recommended... It may change when full release - but for now buy the first game instead.

The saying "can't tell cool stories if no one makes it home to tell them" means that the firefight is secondary to survival. The firefight is important, indeed, but . . . there is a reason ground troops carry so much equipment that they may not necessarily use- it is because they want to 1)have the tools to 2)use the tactics that will 3)bring them home. This is a survival game to me, even though i have very light experience in it so far. The vibes are "you gotta live to make it home to your family" type energy. No, I am not picking berries and eating them every five steps like in Ark, or rock-boiling water for forever to be able to not die of thirst in real life, but there is a touch of that feeling adrenaline-high/going-into-shock-clarity that insists that you survive- even if it is just in a pixellated landscape. It is not the horror/scary aspects of the game, or the landscape, or the character design, etc. It is all of these things and more that make you feel like you just "want to make it home." And that feeling hooks into the story itself, leading you along with both hope and despair in your hands, and using both to overcome the situations you find yourself in. The experience-so-far inspired me to draft a poem whose relevance to this review is to convey the feelings I get when in game: dawn sunbursts green-hued gray picture perfect world away astringent bandage burning lace adept adage about-face hide and seek weeping bride sorrow sold telling lies empty coffin coughing nails before nightfall turning pale let them loose nocturn wails amble 'round far we roam broken corner tumbled stone rocket-bled home sweet home bullet tumble spray parade chernobylite green-hued gray carry us now, Away beyond sunset under foot cough salvation charcoal soot wily caverns echo names tell somehow now, Away breaking breach smoking gun breathing deep powder lungs galvanized till this day crowd and gather bow to pray silver secret pendulum never now never run finding purpose blinding bright seeing clearly blinking twice muzzle flash masked beneath charcoal mine wherein you seek answers fleeting nothing right every heart burning lace charcoal breath blushing bride about face left with nothing left to die left to rot left to lie left to turn green-hued gray ending age freak parade empty sparkle blinding deep taking time fall to sleep purpose lost morning light prophet mist foghorn smite marching cadence punching brick red-brown blood synthesis all is right now is not when is then steaming hot leaning stark sanity lost bereavement found without cost -empty cauldron weaving webs turning tides wax and ebb wholesome whisper isotope blushing bride shunned elope fruitful curtains casket mask taking turns setting task whereupon fissile might speaking truth chernobylite

I would approach Chernobylite 2 as a lore booster, I appreciate the way it incorporates a more Roadside take on zone interactions, at times seeming to have references to Doomed City as much as the Picnic. Some of the game play will turn off veterans of the zone but if they are open minded they can view this game as another approach to the Chernobylite we know and love rather than a replacement of or evolution of it per se. The game engine is fairly reminiscent of the Chernobylite remastered/ enhanced edition release which means its still an intensely beautiful game, one of the more photogenic renditions of the zone for certain. As for fighting, rather than leveling up the Dr. from the first game, you are in the NAR's boots so you pick a class, specialize and behave accordingly. That is different from the first game but its not "BAD" it is simply showing you the pov of NAR. I would say like running Opposing Force after finishing the first half life. Building in base is better than ever and voice acting is in a great state in the release. Some graphics are a bit uncanny/ terrifying eyes but that's never something we can patch or mod. Fighting is kinda harder tbh but very rewarding, in the old game of course we could build a super gun and make it easy, in this one its more like how would you manage fighting and supplying yourself in a limited scope? Interesting new PDA tablet, scanning items with it is pretty cool, I wish I had some agency over what I scan etc. For example scanning for... buried treasure or something.

Has little to do with the first game, and that's good. It feels fresh within the Stalker genre and the devs are really ambitious with their vision. Still needs work but I recommend it. Чики-брики
