Plays like a 90s tech demo, but that's what STALKER is all about. An impressive open world with mind-boggling A-life and massive variety. also YOU CAN PLAY AS MONOLITH!

Mods of this quality are hard to come by.
It reminds me of Metal Gear, with its deep stealth and combat mechanics, absurd but nonetheless awesome plot twists, and loads of optional content that makes the game experience personal and exiting.
This is the mod everyone dreams of making, and It's a dream to play over and over again!

Before even leaving the Cordon I got a totally new vibe from LA than from SoC. It is a genuine feeling of unpreparedness, where I would find something new and have to figure it out by myself, which is absolutely how SoC was intended to be. The improvements to inventory and stealth mechanics saved me a lot of trouble I would have in the original game and I haven't seen such a polished 3rd person mode in any STALKER mod before.

List of significant problems:

No enemies spawn in the arena

Many UI elements do not work on lower resolution settings

It is ridiculously hard to find a way into the bar

Some bugs with player models when changing suits in 3rd person
(no suit equipped = sunrise suit)

I am sure that more patches will come considering the effort the Dezowave group has already put into this game, but as of V1.30013, there are a lot of significant bugs to look out for.

This game is hard to undertsand. I find it personally enjoyable but I can see how some features could be annoying, but I am happy with all of the choices the developers made.
