Hotfixes 1 and 2 increased the FPS by a lot and removed stutter mostly for me. The only major stutter left is when you load in new areas but developer is working on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ts8fBwCGIA -- Lets see how many jesters I can collect with this reciew. Because Honestly, some of these reviews feel very over the top. Itā€™s Early Accessā€”not every studio has the resources to launch at a Baldurā€™s Gate 3 level of polish, and we shouldn't expect them to. Yes, it's janky, yes, it's unoptimized, yes, they use AI for placeholder voices, and yes, it's very unfinished. If that bothers you, itā€™s totally fair to wait it out. But at the very least, do some research before jumping in. Hereā€™s everything you need to know: https://youtu.be/KdYquPt1AYg If you donā€™t want to click: - Open-world RPG with major Fallout 3 vibes - Melee, mage, and gun classes, plus hybrid options - You get a base, go out on missions, and upgrade it over time - Later, you can switch classes on the fly, making it a very flexible system - Skill checks in conversations and the worldā€”like breaking open a chest with strength or searching for a key instead Thereā€”now you know what youā€™re getting into.

This game is def in early access. Lots of optimization needed, but still very satisfying. I hope the game gets some extended TLC and support like the first one is. The second is very much a different game with an expanded rpg and loot/build system. It's base set up is more expansive than the first. Set in the same story world, it plays more like an action rpg / open world looter than a sneaking survival action game. I def enjoyed it and am looking forward to what the game can be!

I really don't understand all those negatives. It looks like some kind of review bombing. I enjoy the atmosphere, I like the characters. Already noticed that all choices have their consequences. The combat and team management is better than in the first game. Of course the game can be overwhelming as there are many systems to focus on, but I enjoy what I've seen so far.

As someone fascinated by Chernobyl documentaries, I first discovered Chernobylite through a friend (BACIMA SELAMLAR), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So, when the second game was released, I purchased it without a second thought. First and foremost, as many reviews have pointed out, the optimization issues are quite severe. Initially, I was able to play at high settings without significant FPS drops, but as I progressed, performance deteriorated even at medium settings. Eventually, I reached a point where the FPS would drop every three seconds, making the game nearly unplayable. While I consider myself a patient gamer, thereā€™s only so much I can tolerate. Occasional lag and frame drops are acceptable, but when they occur this frequently, they break the experience. Had it not been for these issues, I probably would have finished the game in a matter of days, as I was genuinely intrigued by the direction of the story. What I Liked About the Game ā€¢ The class system is interesting. ā€¢ The story, particularly the concept of parallel universes linked to Chernobylite, is compelling. ā€¢ The graphics and atmosphere are immersive and well-crafted. What I Disliked About the Game ā€¢ Obviously, optimization. ā€¢ Third person combat system ā€¢ The thing that our wife is talking like a redneck middle-aged man That said, I wonā€™t be continuing my playthrough until the optimization issues are addressed. However, I still recommend the game, as I believe the developers will resolve these problems in due time. Until then, I think I'm gonna refund for now.
