You know, this game is a hidden gem.

You just look at your silly little character and just laugh, it's just a little guy! Then see how everyone else looks the same, and it's just outright funny. Then you see the environment and atmosphere, and stop laughing. Then you see the weapons! And also stop laughing. Then you see the anomalies, and mutants. And stop laughing. And maybe even start screaming. Oh god, not an emission, not right now! I need to escape. There's a bandit there, he took out a couple stalkers! I got him and managed to recover the loot for these other players, I can send it back (or keep it if you swing that way).

And then you stop halfway through, with some upgraded gear, a little more experienced, and just after some hours of gameplay stop and realize you have been genuinely enjoying the game and experience.

And think to yourself.

What the actual f*ck, why is this game good?
