S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
Description
Buying this game will get you both the original version and the Enhanced Edition.
The Zone, a place full of unfathomable wonders and sinister threats – former exclusion territory near the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. This most dangerous place on Earth became even more mysterious after an obscure accident in 2006. Anomalies with precious artifacts, starving mutants and greedy thugs have flooded these lands along with stalkers searching for a new life and ways to get rich… Feel as one of them in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl!
SEARCHING
To survive, a true stalker must not stop his search. Valuable trophies, equipment and supplies, new friends, shortcuts or answers to the grimmest riddles of these lands are what give a chance not to perish. So prepare for a foray to find your fate in the Center of the Zone, the most protected place from unwanted guests.
HAZARD
The path of a stalker to his goal is never a walk in the park. A treacherous anomaly, able to mash even the most experienced fighter, the stray of ravenous mutants or jarring betrayal – any of these things can cost your life. Get ready to check your skills and gumption, enduring the superior numbers of rivals and mutants. Stay alert even when you are alone – here at the Zone, everything is rarely what it seems at first glance.
DESOLATION
These desolate lands of eternal autumn are full of hundreds of vagabonds. Though, the stalker is always on his own, facing dangers that are often unseen. Listen carefully, calculate every step and trust no one but yourself and Geiger counter. Only intuition combined with mastery and ice-cold guts can save a free stalker from being Lost to the Zone.

This game is both wonderful and painful.
I first played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. shortly after it came out, around 15 years ago. It was an experience that stayed with me. With STALKER 2's release, I decided to give it another go, as I haven't played it in forever. It was a very interesting experience. The world design is fantastic. It's a great setting that pulls you in and the atmosphere is brilliant throughout the entire game. Hearing the people joke and sing in their own native language, playing the guitar as they sit around a campfire in an otherwise dreary setting, it's just fantastic. Wandering the world is fun, you never know just what you're going to run into. One moment you might be wandering in peace, then get swarmed by a pack of vicious, blind dogs. Or caught in a firefight between bandits and other Stalkers. The story is good. I don't think it's anything amazing, but it's good enough to keep me invested and wanting to learn what happens next. The voice acting is great, and I love listening to the native tongue, even though I don't speak it. The accents are great. It's good stuff. This is all well and good, and the reason why the game stands out! However, it is a first person shooter and, well, there's some issues here. The game starts out brutal. You take almost no hits before dying, and your guns are absolute trash that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if you were point blank. It gets better in the middle. You've got decent weapons and you feel like you're gaining control. Then comes the final act. Good lord, this is where the game makes it very clear it hates you and wants you to suffer. It is agonizing. You will die over and over and over again, reloading constantly just to progress. While I enjoyed my journey, I was SO glad when it was over. For all its flaws, the original STALKER is still a fascinating experience. I recommend giving it a try, and try to get past the very rough start. Feel free to quit when you reach Pripyat though. It's all pain from there.
