Perfect honesty here, after the first couple of play sessions I was almost ready to get a refund on this game. However, I decided to hang in for another couple of play sessions, and I'm glad I did. At first I didn't find the base-building and companion management too appealing, but the clever aspects of balancing the storyline, relationships, stealth vs combat and its effects on psyche, as well as the nice balance between exploration/looting and enemy encounters quickly became apparent. The quirky characters and eery but beautiful levels will soon have you lost in this imaging of the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Definitely recommend!
