As they released the Shadow of Chernobyl in 2007 it was a sensation, almost no game could boast of such a rich open world. After the breakup of the team GSC Game World, I thought that no one would create a game as good as the STALKER series were obviously attempts such as Survarium, the team promised the "freeplay" game mode soon after the premiere, and here 3 years passed and only new maps and weapons. .. The Metro is the nearest to Stalker experience but the Metro is very linear and closed. There does not exist or I just do not know a game that would be similar in mechanics and overall gameplay. Combined with the mods that are available, this game for today's standards responds without any problems. Modifications emphasize mechanics, develops the arsenal, significantly. Improved artificial intelligence, completely changed graphics, new locations including a combination of all maps from the entire game series and much more! GSC has always excelled in innovation and large caliber, all these premieres, i.e. Crysis, COD: MW, Potal, Assassins Creed and Bioshock caused the Stalker just like Reactor No.4 in Chernobyl was hidden under the sarcophagus. I am sure that the premiere of the newest part with a new engine and significantly improved mechanics have been used to deflect other survival / fps games. The entire recipe for the perfect Stalker is at your fingertips. Game database (locations, storyline, etc.), all the best modifications available on moddb.com, community reviews, etc. They have everything you need to create Stalker, which I was expecting from the moment the Stalker 2 project was canceled.
The very fact that I come back to Stalker every year at least once emphasizes how unique Stalker is. I guess that even few of you know or played this game, I really recommend it, if you like sandboxes / action games / horror. Graphically from 2007/2009 the same engine is used and it probably does not look as good as Metro, but one mod changes it (Remake mod) The Stalker trilogy quite often appears on the top of the steam sales so you can get it really cheap. The game has a multiplayer, and all the time there is created a cooperation mode of the entire campaign with the expansion called "Ray of Hope", which is currently in the closed beta phase, after the premiere will be the perfect moment to introduce you to "Zone". As of today, news about the continuation of the Stalker 2 project appeared. 15 people on the steam wrote me about this news. Until now I can not get out of enthusiasm, and I thought that Metro Exodus was a fortune for me.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 IS HERE! :)
