Nobody Wants to Die review (PS5)

Nobody Wants To Die, developed by Critical Hit Games and published by PLAION, isn’t a new James Bond spin-off. Instead, it plunges players into a futuristic version New York City in the year 2329 for some detective work. Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC, this first-person detective adventure aims to modernize the genre with its innovative mechanics and an immersive narrative – here’s our take on the PS5 version.

The Chernobyl disaster that happened on April 26, 1986 continues to fascinate us, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 isn’t the only game coming out this year that focuses on it.

But despite its noble intentions and gripping atmosphere, the game struggles to deliver a cohesive and engaging experience over the course of its relatively short runtime.
