Brought here by the various STALKER mods.
Very rich with quests and does not hold your hand by putting waypoints everywhere. Gives a lot of extra depth to the original games, and the mod's translation is exceptional and almost finished at time of my writing, it seems.
Rife with new areas, creatures, items, artifacts, anomalies, characters, and music! The USB's for the music player in this game introduced me to some new music, and some of the new level music is also aptly mood-setting. Runs great on my machine, although load times for the levels were a little slow.
I'm very glad I have given this mod a try. Will likely continue playing because it is so deep.
ZikShadow's review says it all. First mod I played that I picked up and permanently put back down in the same day.
Best mod you can play if you really hate the Military faction.
Understandably beloved by many. A game that stands up well despite its age and doesn't have huge system requirements. A very accessible game, which is why I got it.
