♥♥♥♥ yeah fish

This game legitimately has given me hours of joy, and revived my love of extraction games. This slaps so much, stop reading reviews- just get it and play with friends man its great

When I was a little kid, the idea of a zombie apocalypse used to scare, but allure me. Now its an addiction. Get the game, and don't be afraid to die. Its super punishing, but very fun. It's better with friends. :) Play cautiously

Short Review: Game is worth. Very fun, just needs some work obviously. 8/10 (Pls

Longer: Games pretty good. Feels a lot harder than the original though, so its a nice mix of frustrating but satisfying. Base building is TOTALLY different. takes some getting used to, but its not too terrible. some log/stick/rock sleds would be nice. Spawning of hostile creatures needs re-worked immediately. Got ambushed relentlessly for a half hour of nonstop enemies, to the point it was just a fight to pick up my bag and leave. Medicine spawns need upped, or at least tweak regen. There are a LOT of caves, and too many are very small, dead ends, and very empty. This map suffers in a similar way, VERY big, and mostly empty. Combat is slick, fast, very forest-y. Havent had the chance to use the guns yet, but im sure theyll feel as good as im imagining. I will be playing a LOT more of this game. Very good work, 8/10, maybe 9/10

[Edit 12/10/22]
Devs are listening to the players, and I would like to give this game another chance. With recent updates removing purchasable starter kits, it is a step in the right direction, and if it continues to improve, I will gladly change my review from negative to positive. As far as balance goes, I look forward to the future of this game, and welcome maintenance and assurance the game is as enjoyable as it deserves to be, for loners, and even bandits alike, we all deserve a fun experience. Thank you Developers, for listening to us players. I look forward to the zone with hope yet. Спасибо за чтение.]

Dont get me wrong, donations are great, its a good thing to support the things you like. But this is so insanely one sided, its either pay to win, or die to those who do.

Balance needs work
Gunplay is great
Atmosphere is sick
PVP especially needs rebalancing, or a way to seperate into certain areas or servers
Game runs very well, and has a similar feel to stalker in many ways.

look- The entire point of the game is to play with people, do missions, get back to base to stash the rewards, or sell them... so why can someone who has played this game for years on Russian servers use a donation reward, or p2w gun/armor/etc to knock my ♥♥♥♥ in? This makes me very saddened as a fan of the stalker games. (Allegedly-) At a certain point, you'll connect to Russian servers, the ones that have been running for years, where the players with all the gear have been playing for years, which sounds frustrating to oppose to say the least.

If I may make some suggestions, to improve the experience:
• Make donations have perks, not op gear. Like gun skins, maybe slightly special cosmetics, etc. Loot should always be found and upgraded, not given out. The Zone is not for everyone.
• SLIGHT discount at vendors, nothing horrible.
• SMALL xp boost
• special player card, or cosmetics, maybe a better pda or something.

aside from all this, a message to you, Developers. You of ALL people should know what makes players happy and unhappy. Most of us want a co-op stalker experience with friends. Many of us want pvp in the Zone. Seperate those into gamemodes, or perhaps run seperate servers, everyone will be happy. Re-Balance how gear, and donation gear/p2w gear works, and your game will only improve. I was very excited to play this game, and although some of that excitement was destroyed, the desire to explore the zone, and have fun interactions will never escape me. I look forward to the future of this game, with some steps in the right direction. Balance is what needs the most work, but I understand this takes time.

Удачной охоты Сталкеры.

This game is cool as ♥♥♥♥

Lil jank, little dumb sometimes, but a lot of fun. Dont judge a book by its cover, this game has so much ♥♥♥♥ to do it can be overwhelming at times. VERY high on my list of games to recommend to people. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up, give it some effort, watch some guides too. AND LOOK UP BUILD GUIDES THIS GAME HAS GREAT BUILDING CAPABILITIES

Easy Anti Cheat is objectively bad.
Game was an easy 9/10 without it, and like a 3/10 with EAC.

This game has become my newest obsession. The game is simple, satisfying, and overall VERY worth its asking price. I genuinely cant wait to see the future of this game-- even if it has become a genuine addiction for me.

Loot, kill, build a base, decorate, and survive. Its a bit limited on what to do, but if youre like me and can happily dump HOURS into making a cozy home/base in a game, youll adore this game. hit some trees for wood, cars for metal, pickaxe some rocks for stone- make a crafting bench, unlocks a whole new world of crafting. fences, stairs, boardwalks, window shutters, its all there. Im in the process of converting a gun shop into my home base.

Look heres a heart to heart. this game is a lot of fun. consider looking into it before buying. the assets used are reused in other titles, but ive really been enjoying the base building, and decorating in this game. Developer deserves the money, from what i understand its all made by one guy, or a VERY small team of people. the future of this game could be MASSIVE. Really, consider giving this game a look, Its so far a 10/10 from me, even with the occasional bug. Thanks for reading

Dont know why, but theres only game sound effects. no reactive music for me, which was a big selling point. great game, wish i could fix this bug.
