Here is my opinion on this game:

The game is fun, with a rich story and characters, but it prevented me from having full fun and enjoyment in the game because it has bugs and low optimizations.
The UI and UX were a great experience for me, the green color on the main menu and as the main color for the game just made it more favorable for me.

Some times I got into invisible mode kinda thing, the enemies would not shoot at me even if they detect me and I think this is a bug, also there is not a lot of voice actors so sometimes you will hear the same voice from another character on another character in the game which I can respect because of low budget but kinda messed with my brain and the experience.

The developers really didn't bothered much with animations, so its just 2 characters standing in front of each other and go with the dialogues, no emotions, no facial expression, but they managed to give those expressions in the dialogues which I will say the dialogues were really impressive.

I think there is not a lot of balance in the choices the player makes, one goes up and one goes down, you can't really have "Excellent" relationship status with everyone in the base, so you always gotta disappoint one or two of your team members thought out the missions which is really sad and frustrating for me, I want to have great relationship with everyone in the base but sadly you might not be able to do this.

Plus there is not much motivation for the upgrades, you will remain the same with or without them but only makes you a bit tougher towards enemies which I would say its boring, there is not a lot of challenge into it.


There is not online support or any kind of online play where you can play with your friends so keep this in mind.

Overall 7/10 | It really made me dig deep into the real disaster that happened in the real world which is still to me is a mystery I can't solve but games like these are really making it more interesting.

[[I really hated it where in the end our character Igor is Tanya's son, like wtf man she out here calling Igor "My love" and romantic things rights and lefts but like what is this all about? so this not just makes me disgust but also completely disgust 🤢! Yea definitely the 2 writers were drunk when they wrote the final plot.]]

Love the combination of the semi open world with the survival mechanics. Sometimes difficult, for me, to keep my partners alive/happy 🤣

Too bad that I can’t play further because crumbtrails keeps bugging 🥲

I found this to be a pretty good game. The gameplay is good with it being a survival in Chernoybal. It contains a lot of different mechanics like gathering supplies, avoiding radioactive areas, and fighting off enemies. You also gained partner throughout that are helpful that teach you some skills. But you also need to keep your relationship good inorder to keep them and keep their health good. Also, back in your base you can build current items that helps you throughout the game if you have enough supplies with you. Unfortunately, the game gets repetitive with you collecting supplies and going current locations in the main story. Even the enemies aren't that difficult since there's few of them in each levels and they don't take that much to defeat them. Overall, it's a good game, but can be repetitive.
