About the game

Chornobyl Liquidators is not a fantastic tale of exploring the Zone. It's a story about real people facing a real threat — the CNPP disaster. Invisible radiation, KGB, difficult moral choices... Do you have enough courage and strength to take on this challenge?
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, AMD Radeon R9 280X / Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 40 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

Across all 19 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 45 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Liquidators (free, scores 83) and Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey ($39.99, scores 44) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

More about Chornobyl Liquidators

Steam's global achievement data puts 22 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 594 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 29 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,866 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 26 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 7 of the 29 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 32 percent of the 217 reviews written there were positive, against 49 percent overall, and those are 37 percent of everything written about it.

Обожаю Чернобыль и был вдохновлен как раз, НО: Игра одноразовая, часа на 4 где-то максимум. Геймплей скучный и громоздкий, даже на волкинг сим не потянет. Критикал баги встречал, к счастью обходил их. 40-50 фпс на моей сборке. Русского нету, а в сюжете повсюду клюква. Например злое КГБ загоняет не смотря на потери ликвидаторов которые в свою очередь ну очень не хотят спасать страну и мир) Произведение художественное...
