Chernobyl isn't featured in many video games, but when it is - it's a pretty big deal. In this video I talk about... 7 different games? I think it's 7. But mainly these 4: Chernobylite, Chernobyl Commando, Chernobyl: Road of Death, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Each takes a fairly different approach to representing the Chernobyl exclusion zone in the video game format, and one of them is unadulterated trash.
