Long-awaited Chernobylite from The Farm 51 mixes the legacies of STALKER, Metro, and Fallout to create an appealing first person shooting and exploring experience. Set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, it’s the kind of claustrophobic game you want a wide field of view for just in case some sort of sneaky mutant comes charging in from your peripheral vision. So that 34” ultrawide screen we keep mentioning could prove very effective.
Chernobylite has been out via early access for over two years now, but is finally getting a formal full release during the last few days of July 2021. We suggest you prepare by getting an ultrawide monitor, but make sure to purchase one with a nice 144Hz refresh rate. Based on experience, Chernobylite runs very well as long as you have a decent GPU in your PC. BTW, the game is exclusive to PC for the time being, with console versions coming possibly closer to the holiday season. The game will also run at 165Hz in 1080p on a capable GPU, making this a viable option as well. Not an easy game nor one where you get too many chances to err, response is important in Chernobylite, perhaps more so than in more conventional and less RPG-like first person shooters.
Are there any other games you’re looking forward to this summer? August will have a few releases as well, and after that we’ll be heading closer to the holiday season. In any case, let us know via social media!
