- The game provides a fascinating and informative experience about the history of Chernobyl, with interesting interviews and narration.
- Some fully-3D environments are well-designed and immersive, offering a unique perspective on the Chernobyl disaster.
- The concept of using VR for educational purposes is commendable, allowing users to explore areas they may never visit in real life.
- The game suffers from technical issues, including motion sickness, poor video quality, and clunky teleportation mechanics.
- Many users feel misled by the marketing, as the experience is more of an interactive documentary rather than a true VR game.
- The content is limited, with only a few explorable areas and a reliance on low-resolution 360-degree videos that detract from the overall experience.

2 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe atmosphere is described as reminiscent of a PowerPoint presentation, suggesting a lack of depth and engagement, yet it does manage to incorporate some atmospheric elements within its limited 3D environments.
“Kinda feels like a PowerPoint presentation but with some atmosphere in limited 3D environments.”
