Megapatch information and footage: https://youtu.be/GQLH-B5VuQo This should tackle most of peoples issues --- 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. It’s Early Access—not every studio has the resources to launch at a Baldur’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, it’s totally fair to wait it out. But at the very least, do some research before jumping in. Here’s everything you need to know: https://youtu.be/KdYquPt1AYg If you don’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 world—like breaking open a chest with strength or searching for a key instead There—now you know what you’re getting into.

Preparing Shaders.....takes a bit but as the developer had mentioned only once per boot. It's worth it I imagine as the couple hours I have put in, it has ran very well and combat feels good. Story has grabbed my interest with good dialog so far. Choices between classes seems like good variations so far. Will keep revising as I play.

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, there’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 • The class system is interesting. • The story, particularly the concept of parallel universes linked to Chernobylite, is compelling. • The graphics and atmosphere are immersive and well-crafted. What I Disliked About the Game • Obviously, optimization. • Third person combat system • The thing that our wife is talking like a redneck middle-aged man That said, I won’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.
