Тот самый Сталкер 2007 года, в красивой обертке. Однозначно рекомендую.

I've played fallout, metro exodus, and chernobylite. This game is trash. Sorry for those who love to play this game. Hope this helps those who play this genre of games.
game is trash. and i have 40 hours worth of gameplay to say so....think i would rather grind for obsidian in call of duty... And i f***ing hate call of duty.
Haven't played the old games so came in with no expectations but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is bad, lighting issues, graphical issues, quests bugging, I've found at least 1 softlocke, and the ai is so awful. If one enemy is aware of your position every enemy in a 2 mile radius knows and don't try to flank or hide because even running out of compounds or behind walls they just have constant tracking and shoot at you the second you peak. Why even have a stealth mechanic? The person who was in charge of designing difficulty should probably just be let go, everything is just bullet sponge logic. The incredibly few patches that have come out have been laughable, so I wouldn't hold your breathe that any of this will ever be addressed, so just buy the old games people seem to like those.
I'm really sad about this one. I'm a fan of stalker. But this ones performance is terrible. I tried multiple mods that attempt to fix this issue, it runs fine for about 3 minutes after start and then starts stuttering like crazy while running at 160fps on my 5070ti. Getting a refund on this one...
the game is crap
