S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a truly unique experience, with an unparalleled atmosphere and game world. The world's design invites exploration, while the sound design masterfully crafts a constant sense of unease, making you feel like danger lurks around every corner. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a masterclass in horror design. The story is equally impressive, following the principle of the unsolved mystery, drawing you into the heart of the Zone. The desire to uncover the secrets of the Zone is a powerful motivator, propelling you forward and fueling your exploration. Gunplay is satisfying and challenging, requiring practice to hit your mark. The projectile-based mechanics allow for strategic play, making it possible to avoid getting hit. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is one of the best games I've ever played.
Painkiller is a cult classic and one of the best FPS games ever made. The movement and gunplay are perfect. Some levels are among the most memorable in FPS history. What's essential for any FPS is the ability to avoid getting hit and the opportunity to master gunplay. Painkiller perfectly embodies both. In essence, it's the evolution of DOOM.
