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.

Welcom to the Zone!
I have this game in Steam. This game is legendary, and whoever whines about its complexity, he simply forgot that he needed to survive, and not just survive, but also understand what was happening and make his choice. The game is clearly not for fans of snotty casual, but you can’t call it too hardcore. If you have brains and strong nerves - the Zone is waiting.

One of the best game ever even in 2023
My humble opinion PRO'S : Great story with atmosphere A mix between FPS and RPG The 1st of of great trilogy adventure. and so much more... PS. This game is meant more for hardcore type of players (into realism) but can also be played by casual players. CON'S : Rough for beginners but rewarding in the long run ! Hope it helps !

Got the new Enhanced Edition for free
Apparently they give owners of the original version the new Enhanced Edition for free (DRM free as usual on GOG). That alone deserves a 5 star rating.
