First impressions?
---END QUOTATION---
It's a stalker's dream come true...
A bit of a let down though, to find out the storyline is still around ShoC's time period (I seriously craved for strelok's first raid to the centre of the zone, meeting Fang, Ghost, Doc etc.) But alas, the game has been through rough times and the team's been pressured enough, so it's understandable. Once you go further into the game though, you forget about all and love it even more, thanks to the completely new levels, decor and exploring which give a fresh feeling. The X-ray engine's an old working champ, but the level of detail and visual candy they've drained out of it is astonishing. Truth be told though - i'm on r1 to add that old stalker feel, and it looks just as good on static lighting too! It has the occasional bug here and there. Some of them critical, but not enough to make it a bad day to all the stalkers that waited for this gem of the Stalker franchise.
Overall - i think the game met the expectations and the hype was worth it. 10/10  |

Honestly, I am blown away by the extra content and level design. Getting lost in Cordon and just the strong desire to explore made me feel like I was experiencing all the best parts of this beloved series all over again.
It took me a few hours to get into it - to become familiar with some of the bugs, tweak my settings just right, etc, but once I did, it was really difficult to leave the computer. I was definitely sucked in.
I am bummed about the crashes (foot bone), the render jitters (flickering sunlight issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19dOuEmXQm4), and how disproportionally taxing this is on my computer, but overall, this is a pretty incredible achievement. I think after a few patches to address these issues and add extra polish the full potential will be realized.
Well done to everyone involved. |
