I will be upfront about it. The game definitely has some optimization issues, and a few bugs. I encountered a soft lock twice, closer to the end of the game, but other than that, mostly just graphical/audio glitches.

The game itself looks great, the guns feel nice, but some enemies can be a bit spongey, mostly mutants (I played on Veteran). The biggest issue gameplay wise for me was the economy, you spend way more money than you earn unless you are very smart with it, and do a lot of extra artifact hunting to make ends meet.

Aside from those issues, which I'm sure will be fixed soon by the devs, or by modders as is tradition for STALKER, I had an absolutely great time in the Zone. My first playthrough took me 68 Hours, and I enjoyed nearly every minute of it. Whenever I had to make choices I never knew if that was the right one, and they felt impactful. I did a lot of side content, and spent a lot of time just exploring the Zone. It's bigger than it ever has been, and full of unique places to go and explore.

I'd rate the game overall an 8/10, possibly 9/10 once the bugs are fixed!

They're getting a lot better, so I'm changing my review to positive, but I'll be watching

ROCK AND STONE

Ok, let's get to the nitty gritty.

Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, do I think this is worth $10 USD. No.

However, the character skins look fantastic, and the only reason I feel I have to say its not worth it is because the default skin is already beautiful, and the weapon skins are fairly uninspired and basic.

But, as this is a cosmetic upgrade, and not a proper DLC, I think it's fine, as it's a way for people who love the game to support the devs, and get a nice little visual treat.

I've only played one game, but I can definitely see you can play this class a couple ways, being more defensive or offensive, depending on what you like, and really mixes up Saltzpyre's playstyle, as well as looking fine as heck.

It's a fun game, with a lot of depth, and detail as far as you can imagine it. It's missing some features and has some bugs and annoying issues, but it is early access, made by one person. The worst thing about it is the difficult learning curve, as there is no tutorial.

Graphics - 3/5
Nothing to really look at, but isn't bad.

Gameplay - 4/5
Lots of fun to design your tanks in different ways to overcome the scenarios, or just screw around.

Accessibility - 1/5
It really could benefit from a tutorial, but anyone willing to spend an hour or so playing with the sliders should be able to get it all down.

Edit:
The game has improved drastically from my last review, as the game is far more beginner friendly, and a lot of the annoying bugs and issues have been fixed.
