Don't buy.
This game doesn't deserve a minute of your time, and devs do not deserve a single cent. Enhancement was about accommodating to current political agenda, removal of Russian language and Soviet symbolics.

Originals are Great
The Originals are great, the EE too if you know nothing ;) The original game is really Great, the atmosphere just somehow hits with its unease bleak you may die any second to something that will jump or shoot you in abandoned buildings feeling that is hard to describe but you get. You run across firefights two factions had, some survivor on the floor, begging for help "Brother help me!" he cries, or insults you if its a bandit. Or you come across zombies, slowly shuffling towards you, shooting guns they can barely aim, and if you hide, you can hear them talk how they miss thier mother or daughter and daddy will be home soon.' Yes, those zombies always spoke slurred Russian. Talking how thier daughter has become so grown, or a little bit left to go home, i beg you don't hit me... and even crying out that it hurts when you shot them, and crying on the floor they have to get up. This all is gone thanks to removal of Russian voice acting. I don't think these ever where translated, well now its lost forever, unless you play the original. The game still uses the xray engine, but it become buggier, somehow they shoved AMD FSR into it and unless you set it to native, it will be very blurry. I don't think they properly trained the up scaling. The best part is the Gamepad support addition, honestly. The TLDR: The Stalker series is great, the first 3 titles, those are great and if you can, try the originals, then maybe with mods for them like the *-complete mods that add cut content, and perhaps even Anomaly if your done with them. How you mod the games is up to you, heck i prefer the Gunslinger mod for these, which i doubt will be ever coming to the EE, cause those require a modified engine, which the community been working on since 15 years+

Totally useless edition
A completely useless improved edition. The graphics haven't changed much. The NPC models are still low-poly and look very sad with the new textures. But the language and voice acting are bad. There is an option to select Russian subtitles, but in fact they are not in the game, they are not written anywhere, and with any other subtitles everything works, there are subtitles. I won't even mention Russian voice acting, there is none, but there is Ukrainian. Politics where it should not be in principle. I live in Kazakhstan, and I don't understand Ukrainian. Why should I play in English if the original edition had Russian voice acting? It's a shame that the developers somehow dragged politics into it. Let them play this misunderstanding themselves.
