Almost 15 years after the previous Stalker game and finally we have a new chapter.
Excitement drops as soon as you start the game. The Unreal Engine, which is used for graphics rendering, cuts down the performance of your PC to a border of enjoyable.
There are more details to be seen on game characters, even on objects, but that does not make the zone feel more alive.
Everything feels so scripted, the big world seems so small when you have to follow narrow passes and wait to bump into spawning enemies. There are way too many animations that may feel cool for the first time but will get you bored very soon. Atmosphere is not even close to previous stalker series, monsters are so overdone and polished that they feel plastic or rubbery. The overall impression is that you are going through some virtual stalker emulator made by fans who didnt have enough knowledge to step up to the original series.
Washed out and lifeless game with a good plot.
I am going back to Stlaker Anomaly until something major changes in the patches or newer chapter comes out.
