S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

I cannot put into words how much i love this game, its very janky, buggy sometimes even downright annoying, but if you look past all the jank. Theres a genuine masterpiece, i have wet dreams of what this game could have been if gsc had proper funding and more time. the sureal atmosphere is both haunting and beautiful, seeing stalkers corpse's being ripped apart by dogs while horribly mutated pigs flee at the sight of you in fear is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool. the gunplay is kinda strange having bullets fly everywhere but where your aiming, its really annoying at first and i can see why people install mods to fix it. it only really gets better about 5ish hours into the game when you can actually get a gun thats not held together with fermented vodka and duct tape, tho its still present. The early game is very fun, doing odd jobs for Sidor while exploring cordon and getting mauled to death by dogs and hunting arifacts is sick the a-life system is kinda scuffed compared to cop or clear sky, but its very much still present. Watching two bloodsuckers in the garbage search in a distant swamp for prey, find the same group of freedomers in pripyat after seeing them get in a firefight with duty in radar, watching the same group of experienced stalkers you saw in a village travel into the radar after you disabled the brain scorcher, or even being caught in the chaos of the mutant/mercenary/stalker filled wild territory is truly a one of a kind experience. the game does kinda fall off in the last three areas while the very last two being a tad too combat heavy and you can clearly see the side effects of the game being rushed in these said two areas. but dont get me wrong i very much enjoyed my time with this game, and i HEAVILY reccomend anybody reading this to check it out

Anyone who is interested in history, or rather the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, or has heard of it, should try this S.T.A.L.K.E.R Franchise. According to everyone, this is the place to start, so in order of release, i.e. with Shadow Of Chernobyl, because that's how the Story will be interesting. It is recommended to play in Master or Veteran mode. *SPOILER ALERT* You can also start with Clear Sky, but it is not recommended as it will not have the magic of Shadow of Chernobyl. So, we're in the back of a truck on a bumpy road at night, in the middle of a big storm, when a lightning strike hits the truck. In a special way, our character, who is called Marked One, survives and we wake up with Sidorovich, who is our first trade-er and our main quest giver. We start on the road, where all kinds of dangers lurk. Not only enemies, but various anomalies and mutants. Our main mission is to find and kill Strelok. Then, as the game progresses, that Strelok will be revealed and the main mission will change. You have to find the Wish granter, but at the same time, if you do all the side quests, you can find a secret room outside of the wish granter, where you can change the end of the story. The game has 2 good endings and 5 bad endings. I don't want to spoil any more, you have to try it. Be sure to play with the plain version and not the enhanced edition. I played with the Zone Reclamation Project mod, I recommend it as well. Final word Good hunting Stalker!

Gioco bellissimo, giocato senza mod, ha sicuramente i suoi problemi e a un certo punto lo shooting diventa eccessivo, non aspettatevi un gioco con enormi qualità survival(vi verrà chiesto solo ogni tanto di mangiare e nulla di più) sicuramente anche le secondarie attirano poco vista la gigantesca quantità di proiettili da sparare sui nemici, rispetto al guadagno che se ne trae facendole. Ma per il resto è sicuramente un esperienza unica e dall'atmosfera chicki bliki

its good

Легендарна гра, навіть з старою графікою вона чудова та атмосферна.

SoC is probably the most atmospheric game I've every tried. It's seriously amazing. Despite some bugs, somewhat impossible missions, and some backtracking, this game still holds up even after 19 years, it's honestly crazy.
