I'm a big fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Part 1, Shadows of Chernobyl (or Shadow of Chernobyl) went through many stages: reworking the settings, and then cutting out a lot of content, cutting down graphics (thanks to the not very powerful PC of that time. A similar fate befell Crysis).
The graphics were excellent for that time (and they still look good, and some textures are decent). Before the release of Crysis 1, it was TC that was the leader (and in terms of lighting it also remained the leader, even after the release of Crysis). The plot is good, the atmosphere is simply beyond words. The sounds and soundtrack are great. This Legend definitely deserves 10 points
