It's literally what i wished for. The Zone I have loved for many years reimagined with Unreal Engine 5 and the Beauty of it.

I will have to admit that I do not face any bugs or performance issues and I will not discuss these as I know the Stalker Games never were "perfect". Perfect simply does not exist. Do I love the Basegame that I can play right now? Yes. It is what I wished for. Do I love whats waiting in the future, trusting the developers aswell as the loyal modding community? Yes, I do. The Atmosphere is a Masterpiece, they nailed it. And yes there are a few things that need fixing but the Base is there and its perfectly playable and there for everyone to enjoy.

I havent touched the Story that much but what I have touched is a very nice addition to the Stalker franchise. The voice actors are very good although I do not understand any ukranian, the emotions are there and the atmosphere is undeniable. I love the sound, the weather and the visuals.
When i visit old locations and recognize them, when I meet the old trusted characters (Looking at you, Sid), I could not be happier.

Im focusing on exploring everything the Zone has to offer, fighting mutants, hunting for artifacts and being immersed in the world.
15 years, man...
