The game provides a fascinating and informative experience about the history of Chernobyl, with interesting interviews and narration.
Some fully 3D environments are well-crafted and immersive, offering a unique way to explore the area.
The concept of using VR for educational purposes is commendable, allowing users to experience places they may never visit in real life.

The game suffers from technical issues, including motion sickness, poor video quality, and clunky teleportation mechanics.
