Huge fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, since 2010. I've played the originals, and many subsequent standalone mods. I have once participated in an online test for my knowledge of the whole franchise, and I was therefor awarded with the highest rank of "Legend".

Mod review

I could write a mile long review, but basically my complaints are the same as all the other folks on here that gave this mod a 1 star. The fact I'm writing this (after having a mental breakdown from this unplayable mod) is evidence that I'm not messing around.

I can understand hardcore (to a degree) - some mechanics are nice... but they come short with some of the most ridiculous game-breaking elements: like the constant crashes (yeeehawww - I had 10 crashes in 20 min.); the constant fatigue/tiredness; things popping out of your bag (when by design they shouldn't); MEDICS having ONLY 1 BLOODY BANDAGE in stock; friendly NPCs being hostile to you the moment you start a new game, etc. Also, the written English in the game leaves a lot to be desired - frankly speaking, it's poor, very poor.

All-in-all, this mod is simply put, unplayable. I have played so many mods of STALKER for more than a decade now, that this mod is just... arrrrggghhh! It honestly feels like a joke; and not a good one at best.

Super disappointed! >:(
