Nuclear case in the test: Hoppla, but no fallout or stalker - but still worth a trip for fans

Before the release, nuclear case looked like a mixture of stalker and Fallout in England. In the test, however, it turns out that developer Rebellion makes his very own thing.

Nuclear case also ends up in the Game Pass directly to the release.

We wake up and lie in a bed when suddenly an apparently heavily wounded guy with a protective suit and gas mask comes into the room. Before we even know what's going on, he asks us for help: We should find “the transition”, that would be extremely important. And we have to go immediately and leave the dilapidated bunker, in which we are inexplicably.

This is exactly howon, the new action adventure from the sniper elite developer Rebellion. If you are confused: this is normal. Because our character in nuclear case has lost its memory and apparently does not know who nor where it is. A classic!

However, it quickly turns out that we are caught. Not in the bunker, but in the so -called zone, a small area around the northern English nuclear power plant Windscale.

It is 1962. Five years earlier, a disaster in the power plant (which also happened in reality) caused a sensation. In the game, the area was sealed off and put under quarantine, all residents and the stationed soldiers were cut off from the rest of the world from now on.

Fits you if ...

  • ... you don't want to be taken by games.
  • ... your fans of stalker or fallout are.
  • ... you have a preference for mysteries and secrets.

Doesn't fit you if ...

  • ... you want a huge open world.
  • ... you prefer creeping instead of fighting.
  • ... are important to you cut -ups and modern staged stories.

In the next 20 hours of nuclear case, we explore the zone, run through idyllic English landscapes, explore abandoned bunkers and reveal the big secret of Windscale. You can read in our test whether it is worth the trip.

Fallout, stalker or something of your own?

When we step into the glowing sunlight for the first time and the world of nuclear case spreads in front of us, a thought shoots us through our heads: It's like in Fallout! How nuclear case releases us into his unknown world is clearly reminiscent of the famous step-out moments that we know from Bethesda games.
