As someone who loves to play Crysis I have to admit that this is one of high quality mods

Well, considering You might want to say it's yet another Misery repack, IT IS NOT. Treat it like MISERY as it was meant to be with stunning graphics and many additions wich made it near perfect.

Well, this modification is a basically Black Mesa for HL2. It, of course, is not flawless (for example gunplay is of course improved yet still it can sometimes feel a bit off) yet still exceeds in what it was supposed to do. And if You are this dude who complains about the questionable OPTIONAL stuff, then You have a problem. I didn't like certain additional models so I just didn't install them in a first place. If You are looking for graphically improved HL2 experience, go right ahead.

Ok, so here is the review which I will place on the main page of the mod as well.
The game as it is is much more than playable relatively stable and true to it achieves its goal to bring back what had been lost in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl's development, has an extremely absorbing story with lots of things to do in the main story. The addon truly improves the gameplay and all, yet also comes with the problems of its own due to the engine limitations. Of course as with all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games if You can see the bigger picture and turn a blind eye on the glitches and bugs You'll be much more than satisfied. But except for a few technical issues, there is one problem, of course, solvable but I haven't seen the solution to this nor anyone hasn't pointed it out. The Freeplay aspect and general lack of 'Life' in the Zone. Despite having tons of hidden loot in them the Locations feel empty once cleared out. Enemies respawn in groups too small to make firefight as engaging as they were during the storyline. The solution is simple. Crank up the spawn rates for NPC's both humans and mutants. Make them spawn dynamically like the Misery mod did (Example: When You will clear out Waste Processing Plant in Zaton Merc's squads alongside with Bandits respawn in about the same amount as there was before the first "clearing"). Make the Zone more alive like when Military Assaults Dead City Mercenary base or the Army Wharehouse one Spawn some Mercs for them to try to take over this location again, or just constantly repopulate the area with both friendly and hostile NPC's. The second thing would be to add random encounters where the player could be approached by some bandits, loners, mercs who'd request some help (results in a random quest), try to rob You or try to assassinate You, You name it.
And the last thing which I'd love to see would be dynamic quests like the ones from COC's addon. After finishing the Game Barkeep offers only one quest Voronin offers none and the Freedom folks and Petrenko does not offer any quests after the only ones are complete. Make them dynamically appear and disappear, so the Player feels that even after the end of the main story he/she is a part of the much bigger thing. The last thing is to make Player able to join some Factions after the end of the storyline to give him a purpose. I would personally love to join like Duty and help them reach peaceful relations with Sin or take part in ongoing Faction Wars (You get what I'm saying). Then the experience would feel complete. I, of course, understand that You as a developer had put the Ftons of effort into this mod, and I get it if You don't want to take my suggestions. I as so as You would Love to see lost alpha as something that carves its name in the hearth of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans and becomes the true successor of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise. If You or someone knows about the addons/mods which can be used to help with these minor things then please PM me. Again to the mod and addon creator Sincerely Thank You in advance to listening to my feedback and responding to it. And again. Amazing work You've done there. Wędrowiec signing out. Peace!

Well, I've liked the singleplayer and also the customization was on point.

The game crashes on Win7 home basic if the mod is installed on retail (EU 2.0 version).

Great

This mod shows the true face of the zone ...

Interesting idea .
