you will still enjoy this game, its very atmospheric and so far I have been sucked into the world. I have played the game for around 8-12 hours now. still in the lesser zone so i have not ventured so far. Does the game have it issues yes it does. Its lacking some functions and features from the old games, like pages in the PDA, binocolurs and so on. luckily for me im sitting with quite an high system (RX7900xtx and an I7 12700k with 32GB) so im lucky enough to not experience the performance issues some people are talking about. Sadly A-life is not really comparable to the older games (as of now GSC says it does not work as intented) but the world does not feel alive in the same way as the old games, as i said in the beginning the atmosphere is there and sucks you in, but you will notice that everything is just a bubble happening around you and not the entire map. hopefully we will get a system more compare able to the old one in the future. So far I have been having a good time in the game, and hope to see it improvements in the time to come. one good thing is that this game still have a great community and alot of fans so already mods for it is flooding in and that is without an official modding tool. it is a good game and as alot of games it has it problems espacially in the beginning. So if you are not in a hurry to play it. wait a few months to let it cook in the oven a bit more. if you are a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan the world will have alot to offer.
