The team scanned the real Exclusion Zone, which is why the decay looks right, the lighting sits right, and the mood stays in your head after you shut it down.
Audio

34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, the fog, the rain, everything contributes to that aura and atmosphere so thick you can cut with a knife.

25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance: Running on an i7-12700K, RTX 3050 Ti (laptop), 16GB DDR5, and a 500GB SSD — the game ran flawlessly on High settings with Frame Generation (Quality mode) at a steady 50–60 FPS.
