Fantastic Atmosphere
One of the most atmospheric games I've played, and I think it's worth playing once for that alone. The "Zone" surrounding the Chernobyl power plant is creepy, dangerous and full of interesting details. Exploring it is a lot of fun, especially with all the small stashes you can find (but which only contain items if you happen to find a note about them on a dead enemy). However, there are a couple of things that keep it one star short from a perfect score, in my opinion. As fun as exploring the Zone is, you have to get through most maps multiple times, and that quickly becomes quite tedious, as there is no fast travel to already visited maps. The Gameplay is mostly shooting, which is alright, but also becomes repetitive after a while. There is not a lot of enemy variety, especially towards the end. The survival mechanics are rather pointless, as I never was in danger of starving at any point, and I always hat enough bandages and anti-rad to deal with bleeding and radioactivity. The story is quite good, although it is very linear, as you always kind of move towards the power plant, and there are (almost) no real choices to make. There are multiple endings, though to get most of them you'd have to play through the game multiple times. Then there are side missions, which are almost always "Bring me this" or "Shoot that". Good to make a bit of money on the side, although you don't really need it. I played with the Zone Reclamation Project with mostly vanilla settings, though I changed one single thing. Do yourself a favor and increase the weight limit you can carry. I get that it is meant to give a greater sense of survival and danger, but I always hate it when I have to spend a lot of time managing my inventory because I can only carry a certain amount of things. Ammunition has weight, by the way. Earlier this year I played Metro 2033, which was similarly atmospheric, but not as open. While I liked both games, I think I enjoyed Metro a bit more.
