TOP A Game from a Country not known for its Game Studios and developed by a Game Studio that has been disbanded for a number of years at this Time and thus de facto no longer exists. Well, too bad ...
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl is a post-apocalyptic First-person shooter with Role-playing Elements. The Action takes place in the 30km exclusion zone around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant destroyed by the Super-GAU in Ukraine, which contains various Mutants as well as dangerous physical Anomalies due to the Effects of radioactive Radiation. Although this Exclusion Zone has been militarily cordoned off by the Government, around 200 People live within the so-called Zone. They are called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and have entered the Zone to find great Riches, escape the Law or explore the Phenomena of the Zone.
At the Beginning of the Action, you wake up in a small S.T.A.L.K.E.R. camp on the Edge of the Zone, not being able to remember who you are or what happened to you. The only Clue is a Note on your PDA saying to kill an S.T.A.L.K.E.R. named Strelok. So you embark on an Odyssey to find out your Identity.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl is very similar to the fallout titles in Terms of its Game mechanics. You have the Opportunity to Dialogue with NPCs, trade with them, or join different Factions to help them fight other Factions. First, however, you are on your own and must try to survive in the dangerous and inhospitable Environment. To this End, there is an Offer to accept Quests of NPCs and complete them for Money, Execution or Weapons. If your Liquidity Is secured, Traders offer you Armor, protective suits, better Weapons, Ammunition, Provisions and Medicines to use.
As mentioned above, it is up to you to decide which Corners of the Zone (don't worry, I have not missed the fact that the Earth is a Sphere) wishes to explore it. The open Game world is divided into 11 Regions, which are unfortunately connected by Charging Sequences. One should not be surprised, however, that the Death Rate of your Protagonist is high especially at the Beginning of the Game Plot, since it actually takes some Time to get used to the Circumstances in the Zone.
Finally, of course, every rationally thinking person is faced with the Question of whether this Game is still visually appealing after many Years. While it's true that the Textures are not Competition compared to modern Game titles, luckily a relatively large mod community has emerged on the Internet after all these Years. You'll have a Choice between improved Audio files, sharper Textures, and even Modifications that can change additional Dialogue Options, and even the entire Game Plot if you're ready for an alternative Story.
Finally, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl is a Player's legacy from already forgotten Times. Despite the past Few years, it can still be a pleasure to fight your way through the dangerous Zone that wishes your Death at every Turn. The greatest Strength of this Title is the post-apocalyptic and menacing Atmosphere that is ubiquitous.
There is a Buy Recommendation from me.
