To date, the game does not shine with graphics, and some aspects of the controls seemed somewhat clumsy even at the time of release. But this is one of the games that can be forgiven for its incredible atmosphere.
The stalker's world is completely imbued with post-Soviet hopelessness with a touch of adventurism and an omnipresent taste of radiation. Here you don’t know what awaits you in the next drop, an artifact, a couple of mutants with a good appetite, or half a dozen bored thugs.
Stalker is not a perfect game, but that does not prevent it from being an excellent and original game.
