It's really hard to tell what it is like in this game..you will have
too many new impression there, it is actually a first-person RPG shooter...

It get generally great gameplay, immersive open world , the large world of mutated zone huant to the depth of your heart, the best about this game is it atmospheric, the sound act is good too, especially playing the haunting and mutants parts. Firefight are realistic and intense. It have interesting storyline, but when near the end it end too..fast and, a bit confusing.

It get 8 story ending but I get fourth..and those bad endings are hard to collect all..

The second thing is that I havn't even finish exploring entire map before it end..about only 1/2..since the storyline is pushing you all the time to the end.

It get out dated graphic like in 2003-2004, and it's very buggy...it lag all the time..about every 100m for several seconds. It also crash for tripple in my 30 hours of gameplay. Also when the NPC give you missions, they get repeating again and again the same kind of missions..they speak the same phrase every 10 seconds which is very annoying..I remember one doctor keep yelling "hello, hello." to me and that definitly kill my mood to continue. Missions overlaps and crash from time to time.

Oh and, the control are VERY clumsy and annoying, I spent almost half of my gameplay time figuring out what is what and why the hell the run part is buttom "X"? While the crouch part is Ctrl and shift? I think everyone would perfer to crouch lower for just ctrl than press one more bottom in order to do that. I guarrantee every single shooter fan would wanna die in annoyance after you play this, the weapons are VERY inaccurate and I fire 2 clips of Akm74 in order to take down one guy in the range of 100m while he's no covered?! That's almost impossible in reality. You will beg for a sniper rifle after a while.. Oh and, it's really very painful in firefights and medic part, why don't they just recovered? Instead you need to press { and } or open up backpack to heal yourself..you don't have that time.. You get killed very soon..especially closer to end, easier you are killed, by radiation and anomnilies and mutated thing and most importantly, the armoured NPC enemies.

I am also unable to play the multiplayer part for some reasons.

Pros: Great gameplay and RPG elements, a list of ranges of weapons to use from, open world and atmospheric, addicted to it very soon. Great sound for the zone.
Cons: BUGGY, crashes, lags, outdated graphic, ending too fast-paced, controls are clumsy, unable to play multiplayers, missions errors, NPC repeating conservation, missions overlaps and repeat itself.

It definitly not an stunning game, but it is worth a try. Looking forward to Clearsky to remake the zone.
