How Long to Beat Chernobylite

In Chernobylite, players take control of Igor, a scientist returning to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone after 30 years to search for his missing fiancée. To succeed in his mission, Igor must build a team, gather resources, and survive in a harsh, radiation-infested world. One question many players have is how long it takes to beat Chernobylite. Here’s a breakdown of the game’s length based on various factors.

Chernobylite Game Length

The time it takes to finish Chernobylite depends on several factors, including difficulty, playstyle, and completion goals. For this guide, I’ll focus on my experience playing the game on normal difficulty and fully completing it, unlocking 100% of the achievements.

• Main Story Completion: If you focus mainly on completing the main story, you can expect the game to take around 20-25 hours. This includes progressing through the plot, gathering key items, and fulfilling the basic objectives.
• Side Quests & Character Missions: Chernobylite includes several side quests and character missions that provide more depth to the story. Completing these additional objectives adds a few more hours to your playtime.
• Base Building & the Heist: Base building and resource management are key parts of the game. You will need to allocate time to improve your base, gather supplies, and even run Heists. I ran the Heist multiple times to explore different outcomes, which added to the overall length.
• Completionist Playthrough: For a full completionist experience, including all achievements, base building, and exploring multiple outcomes, expect around 30+ hours.

At a price of ~$20 USD, Chernobylite offers solid value with its mix of survival horror, resource management, and RPG elements. If you enjoy survival shooters with a focus on narrative and replayability, it’s definitely worth picking up.
