Ужасная подделка и издевательство над фанатами серии. Визуальные баги, вырезанный контент разрушающий атмосферу мира, новые баги которых небыло раньше, глупейшее и позорнейшее использовании ИИ без проработки его результатов что выглядит максимально халтурно при условии что с нас требуют намного больше денег чем требовали за оригинал. Продавать копирку игры 19+ летней давности с исправлениями которые должны были выйти ещё в далёком 2007-м году и которые выпустило само коммьюнити, так ещё и вырезать оригинальные игры трилогии - это кощюнство и подлость. К плюсам можно отнести поддержку мастерской steam(хотя зачем оно надо если можно просто скачать оригинальный сталкер ТЧ и накатать на него нужные моды) и хорошую картинку, которую удалось получить благодаря внедрению современных технологий графики и восстановленым теням от травы которые были ещё тогда. Итого: лучше скачайте с т*ррента оригинальную игру или если у вас она есть в стиме скачивайте её и не мучайте свою душу сладкой картинкой за которой просто голая коробка с говном и плесенью
Anyone who says its too hard needs to learn how to survive the zone, Dozens of playthroughs and still still finding new stuff or things I missed. Would 100% recommend, especially when the game is on sale.
Don't listen other comments. The game is well optimized in terms of graphics and gameplay and UI to fit the modern hardware. The only problem I have observed is it never runs on GPU. What I mean is if you open task manager and observe how the game is utilizing resources, you'll observe the GPU is at 0% but the CPU is used at 60% (when running cut-scenes) and 30-40% when running on map. Can any of you confirm this behavior? Had to uninstall it because my older gen Ryzen was literally crying? Devs if you are reading this can you test on your end and let us know why this game entirely running on CPU and not using GPU, like at all!
I've been playing the original version since the old days, so I was both excited and a little worried about this release. After spending some time with it, I can say that coming back to the Zone still feels special. Sure, some bugs are more noticeable now than they seemed years ago, but I think that's because back then we were too busy enjoying the game to pay attention to them. Despite that, the atmosphere, exploration, and overall experience remain just as incredible as I remember. I loved the freedom to explore at my own pace, complete side quests, and uncover the Zone's secrets. The gunfights remain intense, and the survival elements make every decision matter. The Enhanced Edition looks great while preserving everything that made the original special. If you enjoy atmospheric shooters with a unique setting and memorable story, this is a game you absolutely shouldn't miss. Я грав в оригінальну версію ще в старі часи, тому чекав на цей реліз одночасно з хвилюванням і невеликим занепокоєнням. Провівши в грі деякий час, можу сказати, що повернення до Зони все ще відчувається чимось особливим. Так, деякі баги зараз помітніші, ніж здавалися багато років тому, але, думаю, це тому, що тоді ми були занадто захоплені грою, щоб звертати на них увагу. Незважаючи на це, атмосфера, дослідження світу та загальні враження залишаються такими ж неймовірними, якими я їх пам'ятаю. Мені дуже сподобалася свобода досліджувати світ у власному темпі, виконувати побічні завдання та розкривати таємниці Зони. Перестрілки залишаються напруженими, а елементи виживання змушують продумувати кожне рішення. Enhanced Edition виглядає чудово, зберігаючи все те, що зробило оригінал особливим. Якщо вам подобаються атмосферні шутери з унікальним сетингом і незабутнім сюжетом, цю гру точно не варто пропускати.
с 9 лет играю вобще бомба советую всем
It's not as bad as people are saying. STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl has always been unforgiving to new people because it doesn't have "modern conveniences" like mid-level autosaving and doesn't have automatic health regen once you're in cover. Well, it DOES have regen, but it's not within a few seconds, it can take over an hour of realtime to regen fully without using medkits. There's artefacts you can find that boost it, but I've always found the impact to be minimal at best. Combat is brutal with only a handful of bullets killing you on higher difficulties. The game's difficulty is also very high at the start because you're not well-armed and often tasked with fighting in 5v1 or worse conditions. I'm a veteran of the original game in all its slavjankiness and I found this to be a somewhat better experience to play. There IS some jankiness with modding it, I found mods that directly affect engine performance, such as Sky4CE shaders, are wholly incompatible, but mods that only change the .ltx files work fine. The game isn't intended to cater to all audiences. I highly recommend it but that's mainly because I'm a long-time fan and grew up with it.
Easiest explanation of the appeal of the STALKER games is to compare it to a deep dark pit. You will fall trying to climb out of it many times, sometimes because of utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ / bugs / whatever, and when you near the top you are often kicked back in and must start again. You will hate this game and this game will hate you. Only when you conquer hate, will you master the Zone.

чудова гра з купою "аномалій"
