The event should start at the summer game in June. Other notable reveals and exclusive views of upcoming titles, deep dives and behind-the-scenes interviews. In a recent tweet, it said that the event’s going to start in only a few weeks. and the Metro series’ when it arrives in Steam early access later this year.IGN announced back in March that its Summer of Gaming event will return. There is still much to learn about Chernobylite, but the potential of its player-influenced narrative combined with the authenticity of its setting and its intriguing supernatural skew could elevate it to stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. However, it appeared that in the case of the mind-control option Igor inserted a new gizmo into his handheld 'environmental analyzer' computer, seemingly indicating that he'll subsequently be able to employ it to control enemies nearby with the press of a button. I played through the demo twice in order to try each option, but since the demo ended shortly thereafter I have little idea of the wider ramifications for either outcome. The main story quest I played culminated in a decision between destroying the towering Duga radar with explosives, or letting it stand and instead using it to mind-control the people in the Moscow Eye area. Play According to the developers, player choice is also paramount when it comes to Chernobylite’s storyline, but my short time with the game only served to hint at the sorts of decisions on offer without implicitly portraying the more lasting consequences. In the case of my demo, I opted for a character called Olivier to increase my weapons accuracy by taking potshots at some old tin cans. Inside Igor's base you can also study the clues you’ve collected that point to Tatyana’s whereabouts, as well as decide which companion you want to spend earned ‘mentor points’ with in order to improve Igor’s skills. From what I can tell, keeping your allies healthy by sharing your rations with them, as well as maintaining relationships with them via your actions and dialogue choices, has a direct effect on the percentage chance they have for success each time you dispatch them into the field. It’s from this base that you choose your next mission, as well as allocate resource gathering missions for your companions to complete on your behalf. The Biolock Disabler itself may well be a tool that you can eventually craft in Chernobylite, and in fact you can use all manner of resources gathered out and about in the exclusion zone to create tools and build furnishings for Igor’s base. Downed enemies did drop more powerful firearms such as carbine assault rifles, but Igor was unable to use them without a device called a 'Biolock Disabler' since all enemy weapons are seemingly locked to each soldier’s genetic code. Stealth takedowns were the order of the day against these human enemies, because the only weapon at my disposal was a somewhat rickety revolver. I opted to quietly avoid these otherworldly beings entirely, since I had enough of a fight on my hands against the groups of soldiers patrolling the area. This level was much more open than the Nuclear Plant, giving me the freedom to explore a variety of abandoned facilities and streets reclaimed by nature, interact with side characters, suffer startling hallucinations, and encounter glowing, green alien enemies that seemed to slip in and out of the area via the same wormholes employed by Igor. This was evident in the second half of my demo which was a mission in the Moscow Eye, a forest-covered area of Chernobyl set at the foot of an enormous radar system. “While Chernobylite is very much a fictional tale set in the aftermath of the 1986 disaster, it nonetheless presents a very believeable version of the still-contaminated exclusion zone due to everything being recreated from 3D scans of actual real world locations taken by the development team.
