S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Censorship of Chernobyl
In this "remake" version the game was censored (they removed several Soviet symbols) and still has bugs that prevent you from completing missions. I dropped the game.

Decent Despite the Controversies
It's still S.T.A.L.K.E.R. still a wonderful game. The improvements I like the best are the in-game FOV adjustment and expanded mouse sensitivity range for lower sensitivity users. I don't use a controller for FPS but that's still a nice addition for others. Many of the graphical effects are snazzy but they can really heat up your GPU and eat the framerate up depending on your system. And hey, it is free for original owners. We can play whichever version we want now. However, Chornobyl sounds stupid to me compared to Chernobyl. Even so, it's just a letter. At some point we should be socially aware of haphazardly changing things in life to suit temporal causes. Which is to say that changing the name slightly and removing the Russian content isn't going to change the evil transpiring in the world. Deleting history from media is not the way to learn from past mistakes. Apparently, there's some new bugs, old bugs, and some arbitrary changes here and there. I feel like unless you're a diehard S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan it won't make a bit of a difference. These new enhanced versions are nonetheless perfectly acceptable for another awesome playthrough of the series.

Always say no to censorship
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is one of the best survival horror FPS ever made. And this "remaster" is an insult to it's legacy. "Enhanced" by removing content and fixing almost none of the bugs. Get the original version, ZRP, and add reshade/whatever visual overhaul of your choice if you want better graphics.

Crashes
Refuses to work, just crashes upon startup. Tried multiple wine versions, but got the same issue. The original works fine so there really is no excuse for this.
