True Stalker

Mod review

- Very scripted linear knock-out simulator with a so-so story that ends with a cliffhanger and crazy plot armor for the main character "Axe". It has its moments, though but nothing special.

- The voice acting is surprisingly good, except for the main character, who sounds bored the entire game.

- Generic modern, clean, boxy UI, not rusty enough to be called a STALKER UI, but the 3D view of mutants in the Beastiary is a nice touch.

- Almost non-existent A-life. You barely see any mutants or stalkers respawn throughout the entire
playthrough or any dynamic events.

- The AI is dumb; they're oblivious to getting shot from long range or when their comrades die RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, but they WILL shoot you through bushes with relative ease.

- The HD hands in first person are inconsistent with various armors with default models.

- Bad gunplay requires you to put five or more bullets (including AP ammo) into someone's head even with
no helmet because every gun that's not a VSS/VAL or a shotgun with darts is a peashooter.

- Weapon inertia makes aiming weapons sluggish and annoying, but it can be disabled.

- There are no subtitles for campfire jokes or regular voice lines. As a non-Russian speaker who BARELY speaks Russian, I feel like that's a missed opportunity.

- There's no "guide" to do fast travel with. Half the game is just running back and forth combined with fetch quests. Better bulk up on some energy drinks and Hercules, preferably an artifact with stamina-boosting properties.

The only redeeming parts of this mod are:
- The graphics
- The gunslinger weapon pack
- One completely new map
- The expansions to older maps with stuff like the floating houses in Cordon, the helicopter graves in Garbage, and the open hangars in Rostok that were previously inaccessible. It gives these old locations a breath of fresh air, and it does raise standards in that department.

Overall I rate it "Not great, not terrible" out of ten.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly

Mod review

Well balanced, more enjoyable and less grindy than the actual Last Day or Misery mod, and it runs better because of the 64-bit engine this modpack uses. The new features and content beign added into this mod are great and adds a lot to replayability.
There are moments when the game crashes, but that's just X-ray beign X-ray that we all love and hate.

Wind of Time

Mod review may contain spoilers

Good mod. The story is very compelling, it has interesting moments and a great twist at the end. Feels like i'm playing a prequel of Call of Pripyat. The gameplay is very nice and the weapon pack that came with the mode makes the gunplay feel smoother.

However the translation looks like it was made with the "Google Translator" which makes dialogues vauge sometimes. It is bearable, but the occasional crashes are the opposite.

Still, i rate this mod 8 Vodka out of 10

Chernobyl Chronicles

Mod review

One of the most well put together mod in the franchise. The story is great, it perfectly fits the lore and there's a lot of interesting thing happening and the translation is A+.

The economy is too generous from the usual STALKER economy which let's you get top tier gear in a short amount of time making the game easier but that's not too bad.

The most annoying thing in this mod however that most mutant can kill me in one hit, even with the best fully upgraded armor in the game.

Despite of its flaws, it's a really good mod

MISERY

Mod review

The definition of Ukranian Dark Souls!

Makes the game really complex and challenging, run and gunning will result in a quick death, you must play tactically and methodically.

My only problem with this mod is the optimisation and some useless features and junk items that just bloats the game and add nothing to it but tedium.

It's like Skyrim but in the 30 km zone
