Description

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apocalyptic, hybrid action-RPG in which unfettered exploration of majestic Chornobyl mixes with dark, survival horror & sci-fi atmosphere.

Play as Cole Gray - an experienced Planewalker, who sets off on a journey to the unknown and undiscovered regions of the Chernobyl Zone in the search of cure for his daughter.

Fight for your survival, manage resources and make decisions that will affect the entire Zone. Just remember… Everything comes at a price.

Explore vast, dark, gloomy and mysterious world of Chornobyl, created and developed in detail on the basis of the real life locations.

Cautious stealth or guns-blazing action? Classic firearms or cold steel? TPP or FPP Camera? How you approach things is entirely up to you. Use this to your advantage.

Develop your character, unlock valuable new skills, form strong alliances, and make decisions that will affect the whole around world.

The choices you make in the game will allow you to discover a non-linear story and experience one of the several possible endings. Everything happens for a reason and has its price.

Build, upgrade, fortify and customize your base, creating not only a place where you can craft and upgrade your items, but also a safe haven for you and other Chornobyl explorers.

As someone who saw potential and back this game on KS, I am just disappointed. Maybe it can make a comeback in the future but for now, its just not worth it. Tons of the usual stuff: visual bugs, lagging, just bland

Chernobylite 2: Zone of Exclusion feels like a barely playable demo masquerading as a full game. The world map is vast, but disappointingly hollow. Its emptiness saps any sense of exploration; the experience devolves

We took a serious hit. And the first thing I want to say is that many of you were right. Chernobylite 2 entered Early Access too soon. The game needed more time, stronger production stability, and better preparation
