I’m not sure who is approving games that are like Stalker, but I appreciate it. It’s a fantastic time for Stalker enthusiasts. Not only are we anticipating Forest Reigns, but The Farm 51, the minds behind Chernobylite, have launched a Kickstarter for a sequel.
Chernobylite’s Success
The original game, which came out in 2021, has received 82% positive feedback on Steam. It’s about as close to Stalker as you can get without actually naming it that, featuring a spot-on rendition of The Zone called Exclusion Zone. However, it also has its unique features, such as the ability to build bases. True to the spirit of Stalker, players have pointed out bugs and performance hiccups. Still, one thing that nearly everyone agrees on is that the 3D-scanned environments are visually impressive.
Great Discounts Available
If you’re interested in trying the first game, it’s currently discounted by 75% until January 28th on Steam.
Chernobylite 2 appears to be sticking with the same formula but will include various enhancements, such as a character customization feature and a change from first-person to third-person perspective. The Kickstarter has already achieved half of its target with 29 days remaining.
What to Expect
The project page describes the game as “a post-apo action RPG game, mixing free exploration of huge and extremely realistic open world, challenging combat, unique crafting, team and base management with non-linear storytelling.”
There isn’t a confirmed release date yet, but the Steam listing mentions a release window of 2025. However, this might depend on how well the Kickstarter performs.
