What could make me take off a point? Alongside with BLOOM this is the best thing I ever seen and heard on the Doom/GZDoom/Build engine. I am transcending into another world with many graphic options cranked up, you can't say if it's id tech 1 or build.
Perfect for a dark and winter.

The insane symphony of violence. Well conducted and with spectacular soundtrack.
I had a true blast and this is content surpassing commercial products in production quality.
Level design that is unheard of. With distinctive art style and brain-folding ideas.
Fresh, juicy and bold. This is Bloom.

I give 9/10 for M.I.S.E.R.Y. 2.1.1.
Misery is my first ever experience with the Stalker series and an outstandig one. My all-time favourites were X-COM Terror From The Deep and System Shock 2.

Well... Now Misery is my all time favorite, because>
1. Atmosphere
2. Graphics and sound is appealing to me, compared to 2013 blockbuster games
3. Immersion - browsing backpack/map leaves me vulnerable, same for eating, using medikits, cooking, mutant body part looting all lets me dive deeper in the game's world
4. The difficulty should be an issue only for someone not very experienced in FPS and Stalker. I enjoy it. It is as unforgiving as real life :). Love it to make rapid reactions, decisions, where the state of highest emergency combined with spooky surroundings feels so real.
5. The story line is well thought. In my initial walkthrough (as sniper) I played too long and some opportunities and quests got lost with time but now on my second go as assaulter it is a breeze.

One point taken away for freezes and crashes, particularly at the jump to plateau and kindergarten. Needed to lower ai live to 5 for this two occasions.

Keep up the great work MDT, you created my favourite game. Thank you.
