Really this has become my current definitive Stalker experience mod there is so much done brilliantly with the atmosphere of this mod. A lot of visual improvements and attention to detail made throughout the experience. There are some things I'd like to change on the Mutant side of things i feel like the blind dogs should be less aggressive than they are along with the boars and flesh. Since they are more like mutated animals than and should behave like animals this is something i liked about the vanila Stalker experience.

I also find there might be a bit too much item pickups involved in the crafting system it could maybe benefit from the option to reduce the ammount of materials required for repairs and to simplfy the whole system for lower difficulties since you really can't carry all that much and its very confusing. However it can be ignored fairly easily especially with the ability to tweak progression values ingame.

All in all this is a brilliant mod that really just requires you to tweak options to your liking to get your personal prefered Stalker experience.

The level design is brilliant visually however its not very intutive to navigate the lack of sprint is just annoying particularly due to there featuring a lot of platform jumping that you can only just make with the crouch jump. Also the time to switch to iron sights is far too slow making the fast zombie not a good enemy choice for this game among other improvements that could be made such as a lean function. In short Gameplay wise it needs alot of work. Visuals and Atmosphere wise its good some areas even match hl2 or better than. Some kind of a run function would improve things alot though doesn't have to be the really fast hl2 sprint but running would improve the slugish pace and jumping most of which was the most frustrating part of the experience for me.
