Description

Buying this game will get you both the original version and the Enhanced Edition.


Back to where it all started — the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Trilogy, one of the most visionary and groundbreaking survival first-person-shooters of all time returns. Now upscaled, enhanced must-play journey for a new generation.

 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl, the first chapter of the Legends of the Zone Trilogy, which started it all. Welcome to the former exclusion territory near the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant… the most dangerous place on Earth. Play as The Marked One, face sinister mysteries, radiation-soaked anomalous threats and moral dilemmas, as your decisions determine your destiny in this immersive dark sci-fi saga.

 

EMBRACE THE DESOLATION

Navigate the isolation and suspense of a harsh Eastern European wilderness, filled with hundreds of desperate vagabonds, mutant creatures, and lurking dangers unseen.

 

EXPLORE ANOMALOUS WORLD

Venture through realistic locations deeply rooted in the anomalous aftermath of the Chornobyl disaster. Each area holds its own grim secrets and discoveries, awaiting the bravest stalkers.

 

SURVIVE AT ALL COSTS

Treacherous anomalies, invisible radiation, starvation, and ruthless mutants will hunt you in the Zone. Carefully manage your resources and utilize an arsenal of over 30 weapons. Your choices pave a non-linear path toward multiple endings in your quest to uncover the Zone's darkest secrets.
 

Enhanced Edition Features:
● Atmospheric visual enhancements including God Rays, Dynamic Screen Space Reflections, and Advanced Global Illumination effects.
● Redesigned water shaders, upgraded skyboxes, and wetness effects.
● Improved visuals with upscaled textures featuring more detailed NPCs and environment.
● Upgraded weapon Field of View and models.
● Multiple bugfixes and quality of life tweaks.

● Full gamepad support.

 

Good Hunting, stalker!

FFS, this thing sucks

No Russian dub cuz "stand with Ukraine", no CCCP iconography cuz "screw it, reasons". Blurry textures, mismatched AR on scopes, ratio of performance to graphical improvements...and FSR. Scummy how the price was changed on the originals. Blah blah, yeah I got it for free, don't care, this thing sucks. Don't buy. And shame on GoG (among other reasons) and NPC gaymers for going along with this horse manure.

Huh?

Why do we want this in a world with Anomaly? I am guessing even this looks worse that Anomaly. Go to anomalymod.com and tweak your game to look exactly like you want it to look good for free and have a better fan based version instead of yet another rehash remaster. I'd suggest adding the Agressor mod and the 3DSS_EFP_Ported mod for starters. You may not need anything else. If you want a complete overhaul though, the GAMMA mod is it. GAMMA will make Anomaly practically as big as STALKER 2 in size though. Just a warning. The state of the industry as of late is terrible. No one has any fresh ideas, and if they do, they are too scared to make a game about it. I am so tired of all the rehashes and remakes. Once in a while they are well done like System Shock. That was a great remake, but most are just a new coat of paint that mods can do better.

Pathetic attempt to rewrite history

Doing a new game and doing the "all stuff related to Russians is evil" routine is one thing. But retconning and ruining the preservation of existing games for that stupid propaganda is a total different thing. Absolutely pathetic

Censorhip from Julia "Ponczo"

Some broad named Julia "Ponczo" sends me an email telling me they deleted my original review because it didn't "adhere to her standards" wtf is going on with this site man? As for the game? It's a significantly worse version than the original game, censored, chopped out for no reason, and buggy, even more than the original versions; cool for GOG to still give the originals when getting these, but meh. I think that Julia "Costco" does deserve some reprimand of sorts because of her attitude though, I asked her to clarify what I had said and she never emailed me back, this was today.
