Über das Spiel

Im Jahre 1986 erschütterte eine starke Explosion das Atomkraftwerk von Tschernobyl und löste eine der verheerendsten nuklearen Katastrophen der Geschichte aus. 20 Jahre vergehen, bis eines Tages eine erneute Explosion das alte Reaktorgelände in ein grellweißes Licht taucht. Doch die wahren Ursachen bleiben im Dunklen...

Seit dieser Zeit werden ansteigende Energiestörungen beobachtet, die lokale tödliche Anomalien verursachen, gegen die selbst die beste Schutzkleidung wirkungslos ist. Im Jahre 2012 gelingt es ersten Expeditionen unter Missachtung der geltenden Gesetze, die Region zu erkunden, die nun als "die Zone" bezeichnet wird. Unter jenen, die sich hineinwagen, befinden sich die S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Glücksritter und Plünderer, die ihr Leben aufs Spiel setzen, um verstrahlte Artefakte zu erlangen, die hohe Preise auf dem Schwarzmarkt versprechen. Doch sie sind nicht allein. Das ukrainische Militär ständig auf den Fersen, müssen die S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sich gegen wilde mutierte Kreaturen zur Wehr setzen, die in der Region leben, und zugleich ihre Konkurrenten bei der Jagd nach wertvollen Artefakten abhängen. Unter ihnen gibt es einen S.T.A.L.K.E.R., der sich noch tiefer in das Herz von Tschernobyl hineinwagen wird, um die wahre Vergangenheit der Zone und eine noch dunklere Zukunft zu enthüllen.

Als CD Version schon hunderte Stunden gesuchtet. Die Atmosphäre ist einzigartig. Heulender Wind. Schreie in der Ferne, tief unterm Agroprom das tropfen von Wasser das monoton Gehirn frisst, die Türen die man hört in den dunklen Gängen, schwach beleuchtet, wenn das Grauen unter die Kleider kriecht. Diese allgegenwärtige Bedrohung, Einsamkeit, und kleine Feuer und Unterschlupfe, die Geborgenheit beheimatet, während ein trister monotoner Regen fällt, und Industrie Gerippe, abgenagt vom Zahn der Zeit wie flehende Arme Ihre Träger gen Himmel strecken, in grotesken Formen. Wunderschöne Artefakte wie filigrane Juwelen, die Reichtum versprechen, gut beschützt von Anomalien und Strahlung, harren der Bergung. Der Tanz des Todes in mannigfaltigen Kreaturen, und wenn Du morgens übermüdet ins Bett fällst, denke daran, das Du Teil dieser Geschichte gewesen bist, die wir die fStalker geschrieben und erzählt haben.

Sehr empfehlenswert ;-)

Das Spiel meines Lebens.

Als SoC herauskam war es gar etwas enttäuschend, da viele Dinge fehlten die geplant waren. Es wirkte eher wie ein Demo des Originals. Doch vieles davon steckte verborgen in den Dateien des Spiels. Das Hervorholen der verborgenden Möglichkeiten, das Öffnen der gelben Seiten, war der Beginn einer schon einzigartigen Modding Kultur.
AMK, NLC, OGSE, Wlads AMK Soljanka, Oblivion Lost, Lost Alpha, ABC Inferno... Es gab bisher nur 2 Jahre seit 2007, dass ich mal kein Stalker gezockt habe. Es ist immer mindestens eine Stalker Mod auf PC installiert, aktuell gar 4.

Derzeit zocke ich Stalker Anomaly (auf moddb erhältlich) und nebenbei SoC ohne Mods, was für mich seit 2007 ungewohnt ist. Wenn die Zone dich erstmal hat, lässt sie dich nicht mehr entkommen.

Das Spiel stürzt öfter mal ab und läuft am Ende gar nicht mehr, wenn man Pech hat. Genau wie früher. Da das Spiel aber immer noch auf steam angeboten wird, hatte ich eigentlich gehofft, dass mittlerweile alle Bugs beseitigt wurden und es einwandfrei läuft. Die Entwickler und steam sollten sich schämen, dass sie das Spiel noch so verbugt anbieten.

Die Stalker reihe ist eine meiner Liblings Spielereihen , sie sind an Atmosphere und Dichte kaum zu überbieten (Höchstens durch die Metro Reihe)welche ich aber auch schon fast dazuzähle . Es ist wirklich schwierig zu sagen welcher Teil der Serie der beste ist , denn jeder hat seine Stärken und Schwächen . Der 1. teil ist meiner meinung nach Story technisch und von der spiele mechanik der Beste , auch weil es meiner einschätzung nach das erste spiel war was so aufgebaut ist ,(survival horror mit rollenspielen ellementen , artefakte etc. ) . Der 2- Teil der Serie war vergleichsweise eher schwach , (Viele Bugs und die Story war auch nicht so Packend , aber dennoch meiner meinung ein Gutest spiel wenn man die technischen Probleme azsgemerzt hat. Der 3. Teil der serie Verbindet meiner Meinung die größten Stärken beider vorgänger und beseitigt ebenso die Schwächen . Tiefe atmosphere aufregend erzählt , Eine offene welt die zum freihen erkunden einläd und hier und da einen mit kleinen überraschungen belohnt aber jeden fehltritt sofort aufs härteste bestraft . Einzigen minusPunkt den ich geben muss : Es ist viel zu kurz geraten und man hat viele Möglichkeiten nicht genutz . Ich hätte mir ein kleines bisschien mehr von den Alten schauplätzen (neben Pripyat) gewünscht . Ich kann die Stalker reihe auch heute noch jedem empfehlen , und mit den Ganzen Mods der Unglaublichen Cummunity Bekommt man 1000de spielstunden zusammen .

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl


*1/3 Survival RPG von 2007.
1.200tes Game mit Bewertung in meinem Shop.
Review in english:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/hoi4deu/discussions/0/2974027717618971006/

1986 ereignete sich das weltweit schwerste Nuklearunglück im Tschernobyl Kernreaktor. Um den Reaktor schufen die sowietischen Behörden eine 30km weite 'Exclusion Zone', doch traf den geschwächten Reaktor 2006 eine zweite Explosion, wobei alle Lebewesen um den Reaktor ausradiert wurden und dieser Schockwellen über die Grenzen der Sicherheitszone hinaus sandte. Vom Epizentrum aus erschienen Wellen mutierter Kreaturen, tödliche Strahlung und eine seltsame anomale Energie. Das Militär riegelte die Zone hermetisch ab und erschossen jeden, der dumm genug war sich den dortigen Gefahren auszusetzen. (Entwickler)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1313388705

Es ist meiner Ansicht nach das wohl beste Ego-Shooter Survival-Horror Action Game das es gibt. Das Spiel spielt in einer alternativen Realität, wo eine zweite nukleare Katastrophe in der Tschernobyl Ausschlusszone statt fand und seltsame Veränderungen in der Umgebung verursachte. Das Spiel verfügt über eine nicht lineare Storyline und enthält RPG Elemente wie Handel und bidirektionale Kommunikation mit NPCs. Ein Feind-Gefahr Bewertungs KI-System steuert NPC Charaktere die dadurch dynamisch auf Umweltveränderungen und Situationen reagieren. Zudem gibt es eine realistische Kampfmechanik. Waffen entsprechen ballistischen und physikalischen gesetzen. Dazu kommt noch ein dynamisches Tag/Nacht und Wettersystem mit direktem Einfluss auf den Spielverlauf.

Im Spiel nimmst du die Identität des Markierten an, eines amnesischen Mannes, der versucht, den mysteriösen Strelok innerhalb der Zone zu finden und zu töten, ein verbotenes Gebiet um das Kernkraftwerk Tschernobyl. Du spielt nach einer fiktiven zweiten Tschernobyl Katastrophe, die die Umgebung weiter mit Strahlung kontaminierte und seltsame weltfremde Veränderungen in der lokalen Fauna, Flora und den Gesetzen der Physik verursachte.
Der Hintergrund und einige Terminologie des Spiels sind von der russischen Novelle Roadside Picnic und dem Film von Andrei Tarkowskis Film Stalker entlehnt.

Du bist in einem Gebiet namens Zone das wiederum in Subzonen unterteilt ist, je nach dem wie tödlich die Umgebung ist. Das auf der realen Tschernobyl Ausschlusszone und teilweise auf den Kulissen des Ausgangsmaterials basiert, sowie auf dessen spätere Romanisierung durch die Originalautoren. Die Zone umfasst etwa 30 Quadratkilometer und umfasst einen Teil des Tschernobyl Gebiets, das sich südlich vom Kernkraftwerk Tschernobyl erstreckt. Zu den geographischen Änderungen für die künstlerische Lizenz gehört die Verlegung der Stadt Pripyat in dieses Gebiet (es liegt eigentlich im Nordwesten des Kraftwerks), obwohl die Stadt selbst direkt ihrem realen Pendant nachempfunden ist, wenn auch kleiner. Der Begriff Stalker wurde auch für die Wissenschaftler und Ingenieure verwendet, die das Innere des Tschernobyl Sarkophags nach seiner übereilten Konstruktion im Jahr 1986 erforschten. Darüber hinaus ist die Zone auch ein Begriff, der sich auf die 30 Kilometer lange Ausschlusszone um das Kraftwerk bezieht.

In der Hintergrundgeschichte des Spiels, nach der ersten Tschernobyl Katastrophe, wurden Versuche unternommen, das Gebiet vor allem mit Wissenschaftlern und Militärs wieder zu bevölkern. Doch 2006, fast 20 Jahre nach dem ersten Vorfall, ereignete sich eine mysteriöse zweite Katastrophe, bei der die meisten Einwohner getötet oder mutiert wurden. Du beginnst Jahre später, nach dem Menschen begonnen haben, in die Zone zu kommen, um Geld, wertvolle Artefakte und wissenschaftliche Informationen zu finden. Im Einklang mit dem postnuklearen Zerfall innerhalb der Zone hat extreme Strahlung Mutationen bei Tieren und Pflanzen in der Region verursacht. Als Folge der zweiten Katastrophe ist die Zone auch mit gefährlichen kleinen Bereichen veränderter Physik übersät, die als Anomalien bekannt sind. Geselle dich zu den Entdeckern und Abräumern in der Zone und entdecke die sensationelle Geschischte.

Ich denke das war nun genug Input.
Da alles ein Gewicht hat solltet ihr euch genau überlegen was ihr wohin mit nehmt. Es gibt genug von allem, dennoch empfehle ich euch immer ein Blick auf euern ist Zustand zu haben, ihr müßt ja nicht nur zu eurem Ziel kommen sondern auch wieder zurück. Da ich das Spiel schon 3x komplett durchgespielt habe und sicher schon 10x irgendwo Abgebrochen habe kenne ich mich bestens aus. Für Einsteiger ist es extrem schwer sich erstmalig duch die grandiose Landschaft zu bewegen, vorzugsweise Lebend.
100% Bewertung, einfach toll.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2191308258

POSITIVES

+ legendäres, postapokalyptisches Chernobyl-Setting
+ dichte, düstere Atmosphäre der Niederlage des Menschen gegenüber der Zone und der aus den Fugen geratenen Natur
+ realistisches Artdesign
+ Licht- und Schattenspiel (dynamische Lichtquellen die sich gegenseitig überschneiden können und sogar Vögel werfen eigene Schatten)
+ Zwischensequenzen
+ deutsche Vertonung mit russischem Akzent und deutschen Texten
+ viele russische Kommentare und Gespräche unter den Zonenbewohnern
+ gruselige Soundeffekte in der Ferne, darunter z.B. das Gejaule mutierten Wölfe, ehlendig miauende Katzen oder gar Geballer das sich einem nähert und Todesschreie
+ dezente aber umso atmosphärischere Hintergrundsoundtracks, und diverse stimmige Gitarrensolos denen man einfach gerne am Tonnenfeuer lauscht
+ neben Lebensenergie und Ausdauer gibt es unterschiedliche Resistenzen gegen Verbrennung, Elektroschock, Aufprall, Reißer, Verätzung, Explosion und Panzer
+ PDA mit Aufträgen, Karte, Tagebuch, Kontakten, Rangliste, Statistiken und Encyclopedia
+ Minikarte oben links die mittels Bewegungsmelder gesichtete Feinde, Beschussrichtung, Leichen und Richtung zum aktuellen Ziel anzeigt
+ relativ offene Spielwelt mit organischer und vor allem lebendiger Umgebung
+ Nachbildung von realen Schauplätzen durch Fotos und Luftbilder vor Ort
+ unterschiedliche Gebiete: neben dem Anfänger-Gebiet Kanton, gibt es die umkämpfte Müllhalde, das von den Wächtern befestigte Rostok mit seiner Bar 100 Rad, der vor Stalker-Zombies wimmelnde Jantarsee, das banditenbesetzte Dunkle Tal, der Rote Wald mit seinem Hirnschmelzer und der hartumkämpfte Kraftwerksbereich mit seinen Heckenschützen
+ unterirdische Bunkeranlagen und Geheimlabore
+ Machtverhältnisse der Gebiete können sich verändern, z.B. durch neuerdings bewachte Bereiche, Zunahme von Mutanten oder ganz neuer Gegner
+ auffindbare Beute mit guten Textbeschreibungen
+ Klassische Waffen, darunter Messer, diverse Pistolen, doppelläufige Schrotflinte für den Nahkampf, MPs, Sturmgewehre, Scharfschützengewehre und sogar Granatwerfer und Panzerfaust (viele sind sowjetischer Bauart und echten Waffen nachgebildet)
+ Waffenupgrades in Form von Schalldämpfern, Zielfernrohren und Unterlaufgranarwerfern
+ funktionierende Physik, die sogar die Ballistik und Schwerkraft von Geschossen berücksichtigt
+ Panzerung und Waffen nutzen sich ab und Letztere können bei stärkerer Abnutzung auch klemmen
+ unterschiedliche Kaliber und Munitionsarten
+ Kopfschüsse sind fast immer tödlich
+ mutierte Tierwelt, darunter blinde Hunde, räudige Pseudohunde, mutierte Wildschweine, Hausschweine mit menschenähnlichen Köpfen und rattenartige Nager

+ Zombie-Stalker
+ Artefakte zum Verbessern der unterschiedlichen Panzerungen, Verminderung von Umwelteinflüssen, Erhöhung der Wundschwelle oder Ausdauer (aber diese haben auch oft negative Auswirkungen so man sie bedacht zusammenstellen sollte (bis zu fünf können zugleich genutzt werden)
+ überall anzutreffende, meist tödliche, radioaktive und sehr unterschiedliche Anomalien
+ viele Verstecke
+ begrenzte Traglast
+ Hunger, Blutungen und Verstrahlung (gegen die unter anderem Wodka hilft^^)
+ lebendige Spielwelt die in Abschnitte (mit Ladezeiten) unterteilt, aber im Grunde offen ist
+ Tag- und Nachtwechsel
+ Wettereffekte (Regen, Donner, Blitze)
+ Gespräche mit anderen Zonenbewohnern durch die man Aufträge oder Informationen über die Gegend erhält und mit denen man auch handeln kann
+ NSC reagieren auf gezogene Waffen
+ kluge und sehr aufmerksame Gegner-KI die in Deckung gehen wenn sie nachladen und auch versuchen einen zu umgehen, oder im Falle von Mutanten und Tieren auch mal flüchten
+ spannende Hauptquest und viele optionale Nebenquests
+ Ruf und Gesinnung anderer Stalker und Gruppen; hilft man diesen erhält man zusätzliche Informationen und bessere Preise
+ neben freien Stalkern gibt es noch andere Gruppierungen wie Banditen, Militärs, Wächter, Ökologen und Monolith-Fanatiker
+ 7 unterschiedliche Enden (4 hab ich gesehen)
+ lange Spielzeit von 40-60 Stunden
+ viele mögliche Mods

NEGATIVES

- kein Steam-Overlay und damit auch keine Screenshots (Problem kann aber gelöst werden, wenn man Steam als Administrator ausführt)
- störendes Kopfgewackel das man im Spiel nicht abschalten kann (Konsolenbefehl „cam_inert 0“ eingeben um das Problem zu beheben)
- Rollenspielelemente nicht weiter ausgebaut, also keine Fähigkeiten oder Talente
- Gebäuden fehlt es an mehr Mobilar und Müll
- stellenweise gemächliche Präsentation
- Ausrüstung kann nicht repariert werden
- insgesamt zu wenig unterschiedliche Beute
- keine unterschiedlichen Dialogoptionen
- unnötiger, ablaufender Timer bei Nebenmissionen, die man nach Ablauf auch einfach wieder erneut annehmen kann, wodurch der Timer auch noch sinnlos ist
- KI-Gegner setzen keine Granaten ein (erst in Clear Sky)
- keine weiblichen Charaktere im ganzen Spiel
- störende Ladezeiten
- Bug: Nahrung oder Medis noch im Menü von Geplünderten zu benutzen, führt zum Absturz

FAZIT

Das erste legendäre Stalker-Spiel von 2007 ist mehr als ein gewöhnlicher Shooter, da es Survival, Horror und Rollenspielelemente in einer weitestgehend offenen Spielwelt in sich vereint. Es war neben Duke Nukem Forever einer der meisterwarteten Titel der Spielegeschichte.
Hintergrund ist die Reaktorkatastrophe von Chernobyl aus dem Jahr 1986. Nach einer erneuten Explosion im Jahr 2006 wird um das Gebiet eine militärische Sperrzone errichtet, die sogenannte „Zone“, in der unerklärliche Anomalien entstehen und in der diverse Mutanten umherstreunen. Und dann sind da noch die Gerüchte über den sogenannten „Wunschgönner“, einen Monolith im Zentrum des Kraftwerks der einem angeblich Wünsche erfüllen soll...
Grafisch ist SoC natürlich etwas veraltet: wenig Vegetation und stellenweise eintönige Landschaft, aber das Spiel hat sich grafisch insgesamt noch erstaunlich gut gehalten.
Die düstere und verdammt gute Atmosphäre in der verstrahlten Zone ist der größte Pluspunkt des Spiels. Man verspürt das permanente Gefühl der Bedrohung, den Horror durch die Mutanten und hier und da zusätzlich noch visuelle Halluzinationen und verstörende Traumsequenzen.
Das Erkunden und Entdecken motiviert stets zum weiterspielen. Die Geschichte wird insgesamt gut präsentiert und lässt auch später nicht nach. SoC konnte mich öfter sehr positiv Überraschen. Momente in denen man einen einzelnen Forscher oder eine ganze Angriffstruppe ins Feuergefecht begleitet sind hier besonders herausragend.
In SoC erwartet den Spieler kein stumpfes Call-of-Duty-Geballer, sondern anspruchsvolle, lange Gefechte, gegen eine halbwegs schlaue KI, bei denen jede Kugel den Tod bedeuten kann. Die Waffen fühlen sich mit ihrem Rückstoß und ihrer variierenden Genauigkeit alle auch sehr unterschiedlich an.
Selbst heute noch macht das Spiel echt Spaß und funktioniert vor allem mit der ZRP-Mod (Zone Reclamation Project) einwandfrei, die hauptsächlich Bugfixes und kleinere Anpassungen enthält. Von mir erhält dieser Klassiker einen klaren Daumen nach oben.

Hier meine Reviews zu:

I really love the atmosphere but I restarted now three times because the NPC's are ruining the game. They start attacking the military over kilometers, they get stuck, missions get stuck.
I will look for a patch to fix this, but I'm really pissed off that I spend money on all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, that I wanted to play since my youth, and now I'm getting this crap that I could code better given me an API.

Tschernobyl ruft…



Zitat:
Was stehst du noch hier rum? Raus mit dir, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!
-Ein klassischer Spruch der Spielreihe


Gameplay
In “S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl” erkunden wir als Spieler die radioaktive Zone um Tschernobyl. Das Spiel versteht sich als Shooter-RPG und so beginnen wir mit einfacher Ausrüstung und können bessere Ausrüstung finden, durch Aufgaben verdienen oder kaufen. Neben der Hauptmissionen gibt es verschiedene Nebenquests und Ereignisse, die uns besondere Beute versprechen. Allerdings ist die tödliche Spielwelt von „S.T.A.L.K.E.R.“ ein wichtiger Bestandteil: Mutanten, Banditen, Strahlung und gefährliche Anomalien machen Einem das Leben schwer. Gerade Letztere führen gerne mal zu einem schnellen Ende und um nicht geschockt, zerfetzt oder gewirbelt zu werden muss jeder Schritt sorgsam überlegt sein. Allerdings bieten gerade die gefährlichen Anomaliefelder die wertvollen Artefakte, die sich für viel Rubel verkaufen lassen oder angelegt werden können, um nützliche Effekte zu erhalten. Gefeiert wurde das Spiel damals auch besonders für seine Flexibilität, da NPCs oft Dingen nachgehen, auch wenn der Spieler sich nicht in der Nähe befindet.

Story
Zitat:
Der hier lebt noch…
-Scheiße, du verarschst mich!
Hol mich die Zone, wenn ichs tue, man!


Nach der ersten Katastrophe in Tschernobyl setzt S.T.A.L.K.E.R. an und erfindet eine zweite Explosion, welche die Gegend rund um den Atomreaktor nicht nur noch stärker radioaktiv verseucht, sondern auch Mutanten, Banditen und andere Abscheulichkeiten haben sich in der sogenannten Zone breit gemacht. Interessant wird die Zone aber durch die Anomalien, welche zwar schnell tödlich werden, aber gleichzeitig auch die heiß begehrten Artefakte erzeugen. Die Jäger nach diesen verlorenen Schätzen sind die namensgebenden „S.T.A.L.K.E.R.“, was als Akkronym für „Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer and Robber“ bzw. im Deutschen „Plünderer, Eindringling, Abenteurer, Einzelgänger, Mörder, Entdecker und Räuber“ steht. Als einer dieser S.T.A.L.K.E.R. erwachen wir als Überlebender eines Totenlasters, auf dem häufig Leichen herausgekarrt werden. Ohne Gedächtnis erwachen wir am Rand der Zone und haben als einzigen Hinweis einen PDA mit „Kill the Strelok(dt. Schütze)“. Tja, und genau diesen S.T.A.L.K.E.R. suchen wir dann.

Unabhängig von der Spielhandlung war „S.T.A.L.K.E.R.“ aber auch ein kleiner Meilenstein in der Videospielgeschichte. Das russische Setting, gepaart mit harten Militarismus, dem Inventarsystem und dem Übernatürlichen hat viele inspieriert. Darunter fallen der inoffizielle Nachfolger Survarium, Will to Live Online, „Escape from Tarkov“ und viele weitere Titel. Zudem hat das Spiel den „Cheeki Breeki“ Meme ins Leben gebracht, das nur am Rande. Übrigens kann ich die Romane zum Spiel auch ans Herz legen, die haben mir sehr gut gefallen.

Grafik/Sound
„S.T.A.L.K.E.R.“ ist mittelmäßig gut gealtert. Das Spiel sieht an vielen Stellen einfach sehr undetailliert aus und leider haben viele Figuren denselben Skin. Das drückt leider ein wenig auf die Stimmung. Was die Atmosphäre allerdings überhaupt nicht stört, ist die gute Soundkulisse. An manchen Stellen löst das Spiel durchaus Beklommenheit oder Tristheit aus und generell kann der Sound auch sehr hilfreich im Spiel sein. So bekommen wir darüber mit, dass wir in einem Strahlengebiet oder nahe einer Anomalie stehen. Außerdem ist es immer wieder gemütlich, anderen Figuren am Lagerfeuer auf der Gitarre zuzuhören.

Mods
Das Spiel hat eine riesige Community und daher gibt es wirklich sehr umständliche Mods, die mit viel Liebe ausgearbeitet wurden. Einer der größten, auf den ich aufmerksam machen möchte, ist die Anomaly Mod, die als Standalone nicht einmal das eigentlich Spiel braucht. Hier kann man noch viel tiefer in die Zone eintauchen, es gibt hunderte neue Ausrüstungsgegenstände und neue Gameplaymechaniken. Obendrauf kann man sich seine Startfraktion selber aussuchen und erfährt neue Quests und man kann zwischen vielen möglichen Variablen für das Gameplay wählen. Eine andere bekannte Mod ist Lost Alpha, in der es viel Inhalt gibt, der in der langen Entwicklungszeit von „S.T.A.L.K.E.R.“ gestrichen oder verändert wurde.

Fazit
„S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl“ besticht insbesondere durch die unkoventionelle Spielwelt, in der man es mit Mechaniken zu tun bekommt, die man so nicht kennt. Man merkt dem Spiel zwar durchaus an, dass es schon älter ist, aber dafür hat es nicht umsonst viele Spiele inspiriert. Ich kann die Spielreihe absolut für Jeden empfehlen, der es ein wenig düster mag. Damals habe ich nach dem Durchspielen mir die ersten drei Romane zugelegt, jetzt habe ich mir direkt nach dem Durchspielen den nächsten Band bestellt. Einfach eine großartige Welt voller Grauen und noch mehr Cheeki Breeki!


Es ist zwar kein Artefakt, aber meine Reviews könnten auch wertvoll für dich sein. Schau doch mal in meiner Steamgruppe vorbei, in der ich auch die anderen Teile der Reihe vorstelle!

It is one of my favourite games of all time, and certainly my favourite universe of all time. An awesome atmospheric zone with cool factions that actually have politically strong point of views. 100% recommended if you don't mind old graphics, whether on sale or off sale.

This games got it all, a true classic, the lore is thicc, the music is fire, the mood is peak slavic depression, the gameplay is janky and fun, and what the hell is that whining cat sound every five minutes.

10/10

P.S. Ignore bad reviews, those are russian tankies with as much cultural depth as those russian soldiers digging trenches in the red forest.

Thanks developers for support #StandWithUkraine
Story: Main storyline will take 10 hours to get through, but there are also plenty of optional side quests (mostly cash rewards) that can consume hours, as well as sheer hours spent on exploration in atmospheric, immersive world.
Gameplay: The game slides between post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller, nerve-singing survival horror shooter with very realistic weapons and exploration of abandoned territories as well as complicated human behavior keeping you constantly in a state of hesitant wonder.
Graphics: The graphics, though dated in places, builds a sense of enchanting mystique of realistic post-apocalyptic surroundings. Very realistic sunrises, rainstorms, and NPC battles occurring outside the sphere of player involvement produce a disarming atmospheric cohesiveness. Attention to detail in all the game's cityscapes and fields triggers a subtle sense of familiarity.
Sound/Music/Voice: Sounds are quite good, particularly the startling cries of the various mutants and the piercing ambient howls that float across The Zone from time to time. Weapon sounds do a great job of immersing you in the environment, effectively conveying a sense of the firearms' power. You'll find unexpected extras packed in as well, most notably a surprising amount of guitar songs and jokes that you can hear when you sit with other NPC stalkers in front of a flaming barrel.

Optimization: Good (old game), runs well on low-end PC.
Bugs: Some bugs, crashed a few times.

Singleplayer: Yes (solo only).
Multiplayer: Not worth it (very unpopular).
Player Count: Low.
Pay to Win: No (no DLC, no lootboxes, no microtransactions).

Comment: Played with mod - STALKER Complete 2009.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl is a cult classic for those who dig the Russian/Ukrainian aesthetics coupled with some minor RPG and survival elements. Visually the game can be dated looking and same applies to the feeling of the game with it's controls and UI. To many new stalkers the game might come off as very weird, unappealing, or boring to people who start out for the first time. The atmosphere and world has a slow way of drawing you in slowly until you're deep into the game and it's setting.

The setting and atmosphere is definitely the strongest thing this game has. You explore the outskirts of Pripyat and the notorious Chernobyl NPP after a strange second disaster happens and alters the world and defies both science and reality itself with Anomalies and artifacts. The world is fairly decent sized and split into sectors. You'll explore most of them multiple times. The underground labs are probably some of the most horrifying experiences I've had in a long time with the sound design and darkness.

The gameplay is probably the weakest part of the whole experience. Guns have a tendency to be inconsistent but scoped weapons reign supreme due to how long range engagements can me along with seeing where your bullet went. Bodyshots are easily shrugged off by even lowly bandits so headshots are essentially a must to win. Mutants on the other hand are either weak or bullet sponges. The player character no matter what difficulty is weak. You might have to resort to abundant use of quicksaves and some save scumming since the game is fairly difficult in some sections.

The economy in this game is fairly brutal meaning you'll have to do some jobs and grinding by taking artifacts, loot, and risking your own life to make small amounts of cash only to save up and blow it all on buying that expensive ass new suit with exoskeleton support that looks awesome. Different traders offer different prices for specific items, such as the ecologist paying top dollar for any artifacts or mutant pieces you bring them. However everything has durability meaning when you purchase anything be ready to chuck it away or sell the broken gear for a mere fraction of what you payed for before. The game is also not very friendly to loot hoarders with bullets and all other things that go into your inventory taking up weight. The game punishes you for stocking up on too much gear (such as having like 1000 extra AK rounds) you do not need basically forcing you to take the bare essentials.

Now let me get into the artifacts. These are a staple of the game's experience and what really makes this game from shiny silver to absolute gold. Artifacts are found in stashes you find locations for or inside an anomaly which will instantly eviscerate your character. These things are high risk high reward and you can easily find them with the naked eye. Not all artifacts are good or sell for much. A number of them are pretty much junk artifacts that irradiate your character or offer very little benefit however when you find something like maybe 4 moonlight artifacts you can pretty much sprint infinitely even when you're carrying too much. Some items can effect different aspects of the gameplay such as stopping bleeding, increased resistances, increased health, and radiation removal. A lot of these do come with downsides such as emitting radiation, making you weaker to specific attacks, and overall increasing the bleed out rate.

The story in this game is basically next to non-existent. Like it's there but at the same time it's really nothing special. I know I said the gameplay is the weakest part but I think I take that back now. There are 2 main endings with the one having sub endings based on what you did and yes there is a true canon ending if you go out of your way to figure it out.

NO FAST TRAVEL. Expect to do some walking and rationing your gear alongside avoiding fights from point A to point B if you have to.

I'd say S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl is a must play game. It might not be for everyone but it is definitely one of the best for what it is. Also if I find someone who calls this game series Russian Fallout I will borderline hurt them.

You buy the game, boot it up, immediately get yourself killed on the first gunfight, become overwhelmed with the controls, deem this the worst game you've ever played, and uninstall. In the days that follow, the game will linger in the back of your mind, and despite your experience with it being negative, something about the Zone will keep calling to you until you inevitably reinstall the game. This time you play it and something changes. It's true what they say- the Stalker may leave the Zone, but the Zone never leaves the Stalker. You're one of us now, brother. If our paths ever cross I'll buy you a drink and we'll exchange stories of the ones we've lost. But we won't mourn them- we'll pour one out to their memory and laugh about the good times we shared, because such is life in the Zone. And once you get a taste, you'll realize no other life can ever compare.

You already know this game is good so instead I'll tell you a story...

Rather than play the game on normal I immediately set it on the hardest possible difficulty, and didn't stop to wonder why a dog took up two clips of my pistol. Rather than learn from that, I came upon a group of stalkers about to charge into a bandit camp and said to them I will do it solo, after all I realised that the knife in this game was op... That was a mistake.
Stealth works as much as it does irl if they can see you or use there super hearing you bet your damn life you will die because playing Johnny Rambo armed with only a knife doesn't do well in a gun fight especially when a gun pointed directly at you acts as a shield preventing you to get close enough for it to even connect to their hit box. Reloading I begged the other Stalkers for help and then looted all of their bodies as both stalkers and bandits wiped each other out.

As I learned more about the games aiming mechanics that the closer you are to mother earth the more she blesses you with accuracy rather than admiring your gun by looking down the sight, I decided to attack a group of screaming bandits. Why were they screaming? I didn't know but all I was thinking was free money. Coming up on the bandits one charged me and was swept up by a vortex, then I realised what the screams were. Laughing at this stupid bandit I was quickly beset by the rest of his gangs and decided to run. Behind me there was a vortex. I died.

After this I tried making friends. Other stalkers will like you more if you help them especially when you give them first aid kits as the writhe in agony on the floor. I did this to veterans and you have a stalker killer machine as your friend, then I watched as almost instantly a large ravenous horde of hungry dogs arrives and kill said new friend.
Get the hell under ground to get away from said dogs, realise the horror of your decision while you nearly crap you pants as a screaming deformed mutant pops out of no where and has only tentacles for a face, try to assure yourself its okay. Call yourself a liar as another decides to use you as a rag-doll with its psychic powers.
Shaken, pop up and realise you are under a military base. Feel good that you've come a long way from getting wiped out by bandits as you wipe out the soldiers and 'acquire' their hardware.
Leave to a new area and get swarmed by a massive group of dogs and die before relaxing at the bar.

And all of this happened in a span of 5 hours.

Welcome to S.T.A.L.K.E.R fellow human/gamer/stalker!

This is my review but over all as someone who just beaten it and someone who loves wasteland type settings and more. This is hands down a most for anyone who loves single player games and who wants something more from Metro(I beaten all of the games and now I'm reading the book slowly).

This game is much more harder then any game you will most likely play if you play on the hardest(as you should). Why the hardest you may ask? Well to save you from wasting bullets! The harder the game is the easier it is to kill things. But the same goes for you as well.

The story is pretty damn solid and then ending(s?) are worth it too.

There are side missions and quests you can do while you get to the point of following the main quest which can be a bit of a drag if I can be honest here. But for anyone who is thinking about buying this game. I would and I would do it again and again! Even when my first saved got wiped because I had to switch out my dying hard drive with a newer one. It sucked but it was worth it to play it all the way and experience the game fully for what it is.

Now, GET OUT OF HERE STALKER!

I died and some gangsters started speaking Ukrainian and blind dogs were everywhere and why is there a fat man eating chicken and acting dodgy my character just woke up from being dead and he has to go kill a guy that he doesn't even remember why all the P.D.A had to do is be more pacific in the wording and just say kill yourself and the game would've been finished in five minutes my pistol is terrible why did they give me bad weapons if the zone is dangerous I can't even kill a dog a have they seen how many of those are knocking about why are the bandits wearing masks it's not going to help them when everyone's got a P.D.A that can magically tell people what they've done so all it does is say we're the bad guys they don't need to rob people in the zone just be a politician and they can take all the money they want 10/10 makes dark souls run for it's money
[what happened] I went in a sewer and bandits and soldiers were there sitting in the dark for some reason but I had a reason to be there what's there excuse for being there at some point I don't remember how I got there other than avoiding every gunfight I got to this base some people that are organised the army protected it and didn't shoot me I got this bar that looked like a dump you find in north Korea and met the local dunce of the area that lost his gun so I went to look for it but he didn't tell me is it's a war zone they were bad guys with xbox 360 microphones shooting the opposite of a bad guy radiation dogs mutants invisible mutants more bad guys loot and some random guy that doesn't care about the floor tying to use magic powers to kill him and the gun things happened I killed the bad things but not the magic floor stuff you can't kill them I got the gun and ran back to the base but dogs dogs were everywhere but I escaped those things and gave that gun to the guy he said thank you and gave me all his money it wasn't much for doing all that for a gun it was not worth it not at all

14 hours in and I am seriously thinking if it's just as good as Fallout games or not...

I think it is. It's different but just as good if not better in many aspects.

The best part is that it's original and have its own unique vibe to it. Similar to Metro games but still more unique in a good way.

Beautiful (or not so much) world to explore and get to know.

Definitely recommend playing on MASTER difficulty. It's one of those games that is not that really hard but very gratifying.

MASTER + disable crosshair in options = pure joy to play/


I still haven't found even one thing I do not like about it...

It just all makes sense and fit perfectly all together/


Buy and play the hell out of it.

STALKER SHADOW of CHERNOBYL is one of the best game ever we can play
made by a very poor non supported developer in 2007 and today is stile strong enough to compare with modern games
the fact is non of the FPS games are able to compare with this amazing masterpiece
gun play and sound of guns and are well created and there are lots of guns for use
soldiers in game are well armed and even throw grenades and have very good iq for 2007
the entire map is big enough to take good adventure and fight with mutant animals and enemies and discover the secrets of zone
how many game survived since 2007 ?
how many games become true legends like stalker ?
im telling this to who ever never play stalker games : if you do not play this game you will fell regret

Retro Review


I remember playing Clear Sky and Shadow of Chernobyl when I was a pretty young teenager, the games setting was certainly to my liking so I played trough them. Now I wanted to replay the series as Stalker 2 is coming up and started with this one first.

Gameplay
Despite having lots of items and loot to find the game appears to be a non-liniar open world shooter but this is actually far away from the actual gameplay. You start out in the beginning in a map you can explore freely but overall there isnt much to do actually besides the main quest. So the gameplay loop usually consists from talking to people, going somewhere doing 1-2 quests and then moving on to the next area until you at the end reach the center.

Items you find can be picked up but mostly your carry weight is so low that its more about finding artifacts and selling them or finding items that you can ditch your old equipment for. There are side objectives but those don’t really matter as their rewards are so low its better to just find a place where you fought before, run there almost naked and grab all the items and go back to the nearest shopkeeper to sell it for.

Not that you need tough, in the lategame I never grinded money specifically and could buy the endgame weapons I liked and enough ammo to feel comfortable with. There are a ton of weapons to choose from but honestly the ones that feature the more common ammo types are just the best as you don’t have any risk of finding no ammo.

The gunplay is quite fun due to its more tactical approach. You die very quickly and enemies depending on armor soak way much more damage than you. Their biggest weakness is ranged combat . If you are far away they have lots of problems hitting you, or when you are close to objext and lean around corners. AI wise its also neat how they run away trying to reload and sometimes first try to find cover when engaging in a firefight.

Additonally to spice things up it has also a couple horror like sequences where you fight in underground bunker or laboratories. Mutants are still not the main part of the game as most combat encounter are humans which are also the more difficult ones.
The game also seems to have lots of content scrapped or having various ideas not fleshed out. As an example you have a ranking and various factions but you cant really join or learn much more about them.

The main quest is kept me engaged enough but the side quests didn’t so I never did them again after the first few. They are repetetive mmo type quests that can be done over and over again. Same with finding secret loot stashes. Its mostly not worth the time investing.

Also there is a multiplayer pvp mode that is played to this day. Its not great or anything, actually the opposite but it shows how dedicated the community is.

Story
This is actually where it gets interesting. Now the whole story itself is quite unique but the scenario it is placed in even more. On top of that it is apparently somewhat based on a book but not entirely. Not only features it a quite confusing (but short) story about a man with amnesia but also you learn more about the world you found yourself in and both can be equally confusing and fun to find out more information about.
I only disliked that the canon ending is quite hidden and something most people will not find out on their own.

Aesthetics
Im quite fascinated how a game from 2007 can still look this good today. The outdoor environment is something that still trumps a lot of modern games. The good soundtrack coupled with sound effects make a perfect atmosphere.

You do not only have background music that can change from menacing to melancholic but also comfortable feeling guitar tracks from the people playing in their various camps. People group up at times when not currently working, playing guitars and telling stories. Those are in russian only tough. Best way to play would be to completely put the game into russian and use english text instead as your main character is never assumed to be english speaking making it weird having this half translation.

The only drawback are the weird animations and models of human beings which can actually easily be improved with lots of free and easy to install mods. Im especially fond of the many terrain textures, hd models and new reloading animations.

Conclusion/TL;DR
Shadow of Chernobyl is an old game that has a lot of jank. So much infact that it became a cult classic with lots of memes for good reason. But ontop of that you also have an fps with interestening ideas and aspects to its gameplay and atmosphere. Dont expect a very good open world game but rather a very neat shooter with big maps , a good story and lots of cheeki breeki.

Absolute masterpiece in the immersion survival/horror franchise. Has a few bugs but a simple mod fixes all of that, it is a must play for anyone who loved Metro and played it first or wants a genuinely engaging experience. It sets an extremely high standard that few to no games have matched since it's release in 2007. It perhaps could be considered a genre of its own. Open world Metro.

Buy it.

Played several years ago - beat all 3 original STALKER games. ~18 Hours

Stalker is essentially Russian Fallout. It actually does several things that Fallout 3 didnt - like it doesnt load when you into a building. Granted, those buildings are not nearly as fleshed out as a Fallout game, but hey. The map also sorta works like a puzzle, where when you enter a new piece of that puzzle, it loads that level/area.

Now to the game. In the game you play a STALKER in the Zone, which basically means you are a guy who hunts for anomolies/empowered objects in a post apocalytic area of Russia that is home to radiation, anomolies, and mutants. And if you hadnt assumed, all those things try to kill you.

The game has a solid main story and encourages exploration and experimentation. I would say in 2021, you would be better off playing modded versions of this/all three games. But this game was a lot of fun when i played it. Imperfect in a smaller budget sense and older by today's standards, but it is a fun game.

Calling S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl a game just doesn't do it justice, this is an experience, a brutal, thrilling, grotesque and yet also hauntingly beautiful trip through an oddly realistic surreal place that defies any human logic, a place we all simply call The Zone.

Excellent experience. Just the right amount of jank. Gameplay is nice and fluid and inventory managment makes it so that you'll feel like you're a survivalist out in the wasteland. Story is whatever, but inspired by Stalker/Roadside Picnic which is cool. The atmosphere alone is what carries the game.

Welcome to the Zone S.T.A.L.K.E.R. , a place where you will hear people making jokes but will most likely not understand them. A place where you think you'll fit in, just to get kicked by the very game engine. A place where sausage and bread will be your ultimate meal. A place where Vodka reduce radiations (please don't try this at home).

Remember there is no bug in this game, only anomalies.

Back in the day I couldn't even play this game at 30 FPS, now I can play it at ultra settings and more than 300 FPS. Hahah what's up now you ancient soviet game engine! I mean a nu cheeki breeki i v damké drevniy sovetskiy igrovoy dvizhok! As you can see it's also a great language learning tool and helped me mastering Russian.

Jokes aside it still holds up after 14 years and you should really play it if you haven't already, especially if you're into post-apo stuff.

BTW I just found about this short film, I'll just leave it here as well.

Did you know that Chernobyl is still so radioactive from the explosion that it will take an estimated 20,000 years for the radiation to cease within the area? And workers on the Chernobyl power plant take 3 weeks on and 3 weeks off to avoid getting radiation poisoning. If visiting Chernobyl you should be checked for radiation particles after leaving.

This game is amazing, while the graphics and gunplay aren't too interesting the atmosphere, story/lore, unique mechanics, etc are all done well. I've beaten the game, I've gotten both true, one bad, and I am completely satisfied with the conclusion. For this playthrough I use 0 mods not even ZRP (The most popular bug fix mod) and there were a bunch of issues with radiant missions, but it didn't bother me too much. Plus there is a lot of unique side missions. I also loved the ranking and statistics system, but could be way better.

Now I did have one big problem, one massive problem, and that was my fault.
I didn't relax as much as I should've, I was under prepared and going through the story a bit too fast in my opinion which is why I gave up playing on the first time, in a lot of moments I would be stressed.
Don't do what I did, take it slower, do sidequests, enjoy the scenery and atmosphere, go artifact hunting, go mutant hunting, roleplay or something, but that is just my personal opinion, I feel it would've made the game a lot more soothing, but I enjoyed it a lot anyways. Although I recommend switching off crosshair and going master mode.

By the way, one of the biggest things was how dynamic the world felt, when you cleared a area of fixed spawned enemies, sometimes new people would adventure through. For example clearing cordon on your way to the garbage would eventually lead to more loners to go through there because it's safer and they will talk to each other, drink with each other, or listen to a song, it makes it feel relatively lively. Although sometimes these people will die whether it's from mutants, other factions, or anomalies, and there isn't much you can do because people can die in a area you aren't even in and they're corpses will be there, but so is the unfortunate tale of most in the zone. This can even happen to minor unique characters, pretty much everyone besides Barkeep, Sidorovich, Sakharov, and maybe a few others.
To the great STALKERS who've been lost, to list some: Fox, Wolf, Yurik, Bes, and more, may the zone let you rest, and I shall pour out a vodka for you all.

On a side note: Most guns aren't accurate so that will be a bit frustrating, but I've learnt to deal with it, there's no fast travel, but it's better that way, and the game is semi-linear as there isn't a full open world, but it's still able to be traversed differently.

On another side note: When I got to the Red Forest it kinda lost a bit of enjoyment because it turned into a survival rpg to a full on gunfight, then I got to Pripyat and it was a lot better in my opinion I was excitied, but when I reached the NPP it went back to feeling like that, was still fun but kinda dreadful because it was just a long gunfight. I knew I could've gone back to like Cordon and the Bar, but it did end up feeling like a linear level shooter at that point those areas don't have much free roam and in the spots they do there's probably gonna a beat a ton of enemies.

I haven't finished this game yet while doing this review but honestly it takes you little time to realize how much of a masterpiece this game is. Considering the time it was launched and the troubled developing process it went through, the game has:
- beatiful graphics and style of aestetic
- complex AI behaviour
- an intriguing story
- a vast open world, immersive location with you could say maniacal attention to detail
The game is an open world adventure horror fps, and the horror element is something special.
There are some jumpscare but most of the horror element is found in location details, pacing and the fact that the character you play feels very human and not like in other games where you feel like a super hero. You are as vulnerable as the NPCs and if you don't pay attention even a wild dog can tear you to pieces.

The shortcomings of this game are:
- bugs, lots of people complain about them... i found only one major bug (kruglov related) that can be easily avoided like most bugs by not saving during combat or some events
- the difficulty system is strange, long story short you should play from the start on the hardest difficulty to avoid bulletsponge enemies
- the game could become a little frustrating the first time you play until you get used to some of the mechanics of the game about anomalies and damage
- stealth is really hard to pull off
In short this game is not forgiving at all, so save often before you take part in some important quest.

Other than that.... good hunting stalker!

10 hours in and i feel like i've barely begun. An astoundingly good game. The combat is as good as most other games, and the horror aspect is genuinely scary at times, orders of magnitude moreso than games that call themselves horror games. The base game is amazing, and the world enormous. But on top of all that, it is a platform for mods that turn this ancient game into something that looks, and plays, better than modern releases. From graphical overhauls, combat mods, weapon mods, performance mods, realism mods, there's something for literally everyone. Infinite fun in an incredibly cheap package. Astounding

For new players :
1. Play the original version(this one).
2. This game requiers some skills so be ready to be challenged.
3. Don`t get the radiation BUG.
4. SAVE OFTEN.
5. In the first camp, there is a merc armor hidden in one of the loft houses(very good armor).
6. DON`T RUSH this game, play it like a real stalker. Be the loner of the game. It is a dark horror masterpiece so take your time, you won`t regret it. Good luck !

perfectly simulates life in ukraine

all jokes aside, although old and dated, SOC is still a fun and enjoyable experience
it's certainly not some high budget FPS or AAA horror game, but it gets the job done
the combat at the start of the game can be a little hard since you start off with a measily makarov, although personally i didn't find it to be as tedious as others make it out to be
all in all, it just works

It's getting harder and harder for open world rpg shooters to withstand the test of time.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is a relic of atmospheric storytelling and perfect pacing, that even despite dated graphics it leaves me sh*t scared but equally thrilled.

For the best experience, play on Master mode. To further enhance it, turn off music, crosshair and the HUD. Now you are an immersed stalker, have fun.

Finally beat it, no mods, loved it, the ending ramped up a little too hard but it never felt unfair or too difficult to not want to try again. If you ever find yourself at a 99.9/100 weight limit in games like skyrim then you will almost certainly have that problem here. Stuff isn't as valuable in the long run as the ruble amount might suggest, once you hit that end game you loot all the dank gear and come across a ton of care packages, sniper rifles in convenient spots just waiting for you, hoards of meds and ammo before encounters.

You could write multiple papers about this game, there are some good long form youtube videos covering the game and series.

if you are begging for a negative point. one of my later saves I cleared a spot out and saved, upon loading that save one of the corpses came back to life, it may have been possible I only wounded him before saving but i'm nearly certain he was dead, anyways this dude is just facing me upon loading, luckily he has to notice me and draw his weapon or else I would have had to go back to an older save, it still was a bitch because I waited 98% of the game to try a shotgun and the bullets not hitting or accuracy issue people often described was really felt here. shotgun ready to go, hipfire is the phattest crosshair spread you can imagine, sight up a shotgun with your eye over the barrel also not an amazing way to shoot, so killing this wannabe zombie man was a total crapshoot and really just a minor inconvenience I could have solved a lot quicker, was just stubborn and used that save more than I should have funneling 50 guys into the same doorway and then messing up somehow

This game is one of my favourite post apocalyptic titles. Really cool and atmospheric music. Interesting and well developed locations. Not ordinary design for mutants, anomalies. Good written story. Long term community generating a lot of content even today. Everything mentioned before just made this game special.

It's like a modder lovingly made this for some nameless old FPS and didn't care about money. Except in this case it was the developer themselves that made this and I hope they made a ton. I actually had to stop and take several quick breaks to sit in awe of this game and just look at my time played at time of review. That time probably includes at least 5 minutes of me just pausing the game to pick my jaw off the floor at various times all in the starting area. I'm not worthy.

This is it! The original. The one and only. The heir to mankind's most terrifying industrial accident: The Shadow of Chernobyl. What a great game! It has many imitators and launched an entire genre of survival shooter horror set in the former Soviet Union, from Call of Pripyat, to the Metro series, to Escape from Tarkov.

It hasn't aged well, with its creaky X-Ray Engine and often relatively small series of world maps (linked with loading screens) but it is a hell of game to play still, and is well supported (and even extended) by a vibrant modding community. If I could travel back in time to play this for the first time again, I would do so in a heartbeat, and not just to escape the Trump era. Shadow of Chernobyl is exciting, scary, and brilliant from start to finish.

I played it with Autumn Aurora mod which did little more than upgrade the graphics, because GSC did everything else so well. A thrilling campaign set in diverse environments from the famously radioactive Red Forest, to the bowels of the doomed Reactor No. 4. Hard as nails gun play, with excellent mechanics for its time, intelligent, deadly NPCs that will attempt to flank you (and cause you to reload many a save), deadly mutants and dangerous anomalies-- all staples of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series-- everything in Shadow of Chernobyl feels just right for an excursion into the most dangerous zone in the world.

Having visited the Zone of Exclusion in Ukraine in 2017, I can attest to the fidelity of GSC's world building with details that match real world environments. It is little wonder that a true sequel is one of the most wished for games, right up there with Half Life 3 and games like System Shock. There is no hand holding at all. You wake up in the Zone after an accident and it is up to you to figure out who you are, why you're there and what your mission even is. Shadow of Chernobyl is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. If you haven't played it you are fortunate...

... because your first insertion begins. Now.

A legendary game based off of a magnificently creepy game plagued by an unpolished engine. Despite this, If you need 20-ish hours used up and you want to experience a new game like you've never experienced before, try this game. This game spawned a movement.

WOW, this game was a trip from when I first played it years ago. Playing through it ALL for the first time recently felt pretty good. Overall the game was good but it also kinda runs like sh it when you first play it, you have to literally fix the game yourself so it doesn't crash. Even after I patched it I had 3 problems that I remember: crash every once in a while randomly, every time I'd have a wake up animation my screen would have a fit and look like it's having a seizure and a crash if I attempted to use a healing item from an enemy corpse FROM the loot body inventory screen.

Technical aspects aside, I loved the story, the twists, the fight or flight gameplay. I don't remember If Clear Sky was longer because I did more side quests or just in general but this game felt a bit shorter. However that also was prolly cause I played MOSTLY the story, with a side quest or two in between. However even then if you loot corpses and sell most of the stuff you'll be RICH in no time so what's the purpose of doing side quests other then just for fun. However even with this aside I felt like I sorta missed out on some content because I didn't look for it, like the arena fights I apparently didn't even notice til someone told me. Artifacts are also everywhere, giving you boosts and negative effects depending. A lot of the negatives though feel to me like cherry picking, because overall I REALLY enjoyed the blast from the past. I also don't think that Clear Sky was the worst of the series either now that I've fully played this for the first time in years and having not listened to others. I'd say give both of these a try just know that this game needs A LOT of patch work and if you look at the history of the game you'd know why.

Pros:
Story is tight
Difficult (Depending on the person)
Excellent Atmosphere like none other
Gunplay actually feels good besides some of the technical stuff

Cons:
Difficult (Depending on the person)
Bullets go right through people sometimes
The final stretch can be a huge pain in the a ss

NO STORY SPOILERS
Played with the “Starter Pack Mod” installed

Released in 2007, the first game in the Stalker series is well known for the influence it has had on a large number of other franchises across many genres. But when going back to the game, is this praise deserved or has age clouded these gems once shiny surface? Well, that answer is complicated, for me at least.
Lets start on a positive note, pretty much every aspect bar two (don’t worry we’ll get to it) is perfect. The atmosphere is really second to none and can switch effortlessly from intense action to paralysing horror. This is what kept me coming back to this game and being genuinely excited to come back to The Zone and try to survive the mutants, anomalies and hostile bandits.
The story does a good job at driving the experience, even if it did make me stare at the screen with a blank impression and failed to get me invested in it. If this interests you then you can safely purchase this and experience one of the greats in this niche genre of immersive survival shooter.
Sadly the aspects I mentioned above, as well as my overall opinion of this game, are spoiled by a little & a large issue. The little issue is the factions, there seems to be almost no reason to get involved with them - they help you as long as you are neutral with them and don’t seem to mind you doing jobs or interacting with the rival factions.
The BIG issue however, is the shooting, oh boy is the shooting bad. Recoil? Seems entirely random. Hit registering? Sometimes you nail a headshot on the first shot, other times you seem to empty a clip of 30 rounds into an enemy’s face and they just tank it like a boss. The guns sound great and have really nice animations, but they all feel like foam dart shotguns.

In conclusion, the game does not hold up on a mechanical level to modern shooters in this style, with a story that does little to keep you invested. But, there is a lot here to love in terms of presentation and world design. I’d recommend STALKER SoC to anyone who is a fan of survival horror, immersive sims or both to give it a try.

Rating: Proverbial Carrot (Fans of the genre)

This game is first rate. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a tense and challenging shooter, with an open-world setting and the very lightest of RPG elements. When it comes to games that have created a unique atmosphere, this series has to be one of the best examples. The desolate world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is unlike anything else, and the challenging gameplay only adds to this sense of place. In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. the setting and the gameplay tell the same story: this is a hard world and life is cheap.

As for the gameplay, this game is hard. That needs to be stressed. And you should play it on the hardest difficulty. On lower difficulties there are certain parts of the game that don't scale well (there are plenty of guides online which explain how this works if you're interested). What this means in practice is that the early game is very challenging. If you give up on this game because of the difficulty, it will probably be before you reach Rostok / Yantar. And that's a shame, because once you get into that part of the game, things get easier. Bear in mind, you will probably be doing a lot of saving and reloading in the early game. If this isn't something you can enjoy, you might struggle to get into S.T.A.L.K.E.R..

The unfolding story of the game is closely related to the story of the novel Roadside Picnic and the Tarkovsky movie Stalker from 1979. In fact, the game could be described as a loose adaptation of either, although I stress the word loose. I'm not going to include any spoilers in this review, but suffice to say, the game's plot begins with a straightforward goal, but soon expands to handle the same questions and themes of the novel and film. For people who are interested in story-telling in video games (particularly when it doesn't come through straight-forward talk-to-camera exposition), there is a lot for you here. The game doesn't always yield the details of its narrative readily, but the game was clearly a labour of love, and the designers obviously took a great interest in their source material.

As for the light RPG elements, this is a game in which you manage your inventory, your armour and your weapons. You can balance various stats by changing your clothes, as well as by attaching artefacts to your person. These boost or reduce various resistances or weaknesses. However, there is no levelling system, and no character creation. The RPG elements really are very light. At its heart, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a shooter, it's just not afraid to tread a little outside of its core genre.

It should also be mentioned that this game has a not undeserved reputation for bugginess. I have never experienced crashes, but many users have. What I have experienced is a fair number of bugged side missions, AI faults and the occasional instance of an enemy clipping through something that they're not meant to. These sorts of bugs tend to be things that I can quite easily overlook, but it will depend on your tolerance for bugginess. There's sadly no getting away from the fact that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is a fairly buggy game. If this ruins your immersion, you may find S.T.A.L.K.E.R. difficult to enjoy. However I think it's important to bear in mind that this game does have a strong sense of atmosphere which runs deeper than in most games. The bugs may be often distracting, but I never found them unforgivable.

Needless to say, I recommend this game. I've tried to highlight it's strengths and weaknesses. No doubt, the game has its fair share of both. But on balance, for those who can overlook its high level of difficulty and moderate bugginess, there's a lot here to be enjoyed.

A lot of people recommend that you play Call of Pripyat or some of the mods instead of starting with this game, but I disagree.
I've played this game for many hours on my other account, and I've beaten it twice over. As well, I've played the other two games and probably around 10 STALKER mods including Call of Chernobyl, Misery, Dead Air, Anomaly, and so on, and I still think this is the best STALKER experience you can get right now. The reason why is because this the best fusion of fun and immersion.
Despite all the efforts made by mods like Anomaly to improve the graphics, introduce new survival mechanics, and add new quests, it seems like after a point, they forget that this is a game. For example, in Anomaly (since I have the most experience with it,) you will often be wearing a gasmask unless you want to be smoking cigarettes every 2 seconds to remove radiation from stepping in swamp water. The problem with gasmasks is that if you get hit by anything, even a shitty little swamp dog, you mask will be shattered and you'll basically be half blind until you either fork over a load of money to a technician or somehow scavenge the materials needed to fix it. Shadow of Chernobyl does not mess with these mechanics, and in fact, this game does not even have a repair mechanic! That's not to say that a repair mechanic can't be done right, but in this you can already see the game's ethos: mess around, enjoy the wasteland, and don't waste your time reloading quicksaves because some fucking swamp rat ran into you too hard. In other words, you have more freedom to enjoy the oppressive atmosphere.
This game's atmosphere is also the best of all the games in my opinion. It's hard to determine why, but I think the above point might be the main reason. Instead of being constantly torn out of the immersion by frustration for the mechanics, Shadow of Chernobyl keeps things simple. Of course, this game is not without its bugs, in fact, it's full of them. The worst bugs usually occur with the AI or with the quests, and they can sometimes be game-breaking. Nonetheless, this game is truly unique and definitely worth playing.

A great horror atmosphere is what's mainly responsible for making this game popular (as you probably know). Throughout the game there are many stunning moments where you can just stand and appreciate the immersion. Walking outside in the rainy, dark wasteland with night vision goggles on while bullets whiz by as you get shot at from the trees is certainly an unforgettable experience. This game's world feels simply incredible. It's realistic, it's scary, and it's so so engaging. The only drawbacks in this game in my opinion are the technical things such as animations, graphics, and sound mixing (there are mods which fix most of these, but some problems still can't be fixed effectively even with mods). These can be sometimes immersion-breaking but overall this game is fantastic. Stalker games are a must play for those seeking a great atmosphere.

This is one of the best games ever made. While I think Call of Pripyat is a technically better product, I played this one first and has stuck with me the most. Ignore my Steam playtime, I've sunk like 200 hours into this game. A 95/100 effort.

The good

One of the creepiest things ever made - there's a constant feeling of dread and knowing that you're never safe
At night time, the creepiness gets amped up
Labs X-10, X-16 and X-18 are all thrilling to the extreme
You really do feel as if you're in a ruined world
Awesome music and effects
Equally awesome background effects - wind, rain, thunder, monster and enemy noises
Eminently moddable
Faithful to the geography of the Pripyat/Chernobyl area
Great weapon and ammo choices
Same with artefacts
Brutal on higher difficulties
Lots of little details - houses, railroads, sheds, silos, etc. The place looks real, and that people once lived and worked there

The bad

Shows it age a little graphically
Can be buggy in places, NPCs getting stuck or becoming unresponsive etc
Weapon and item degradation is a tad unrealistic, no way to fix them

Despite its older age and roughness around the engine, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. provides a unique experience & atmosphere that very few (if any at all) games have managed to also achieve.

Difficult, scary, moddable - the last one in particular ensures its longevity, with mods providing things from weapons, through giant survival overhauls, to combined worlds (play all three S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games in one!)

I often may struggle to stick to one game during my first playthrough, but I'll always be up for some adventures in the Zone.

One of the best 'slow' fps' ever made. Atmospheric as a game gets, most NPC's are non English so you are excluded from idle chit chat, you are given bare bones in terms of tutorials, the weapons are different enough that you will have favourites different from other players. Very immersive, you can lose yourself for two/three hours plus. Well worth installing the mods for graphical updates as they also include bug fixes. Just a sublime shooter, slow paced, atmospheric, the lore is there for those who don't mind reading, has realism, survival aspects long before it was a trend. Really is one of the best FPS made.
