The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.

Do i need to tell more?
Very VERY polished mod.
The 64bit engine is amazing. I can run stalker at solid 60+fps on a clevo now.
Textures and models are really beautiful. The AI is less uber powered than Last Day but stays dangerous at the same time.
Another good point? The economy! Reworked and for the better... cause expensive things like armor and such are still expensive so you have a nice curve of grind for money but you're not wasting it in zone produced bread worth 3000+ rubbles.
I recommend this for it's general feeling of a more polished and clean mod than most of the COM clones (imo).
Credits where it's due, the mod patches are put into a new, separated folder and in individual .db files which is, for me, a very cool option to not loose tracks of changes and merges if you need to devel an addon for this mod. Clearly what most of the mod teams should do. Huge bravo for this sergedp.
One of the only thing I would consider "bad" for this mod is also it's strength: the many texture packs included. Sometimes I must say I miss the Misery/Last Day feeling on some textures like bushes/trees/grass/general feeling/structures.
Everything is much more detailed now but also more vibrant and colorful. It has it's own style. Maybe one day an optional pack for original architecture/foliage/general textures from Last Day? I may do it if I have some time. For the people seeking the miserable feeling of a dying zone.
Anyway great job on this mod. It's been a while since the last time I stopped on a mod and played more than 20 hours without switching back to another one...
Ethic stuff/disclosure: I helped with some porting of sound files related to stealth gameplay capabilities in patch 3.
Solid, stable mod pack based around Last Day that improves visuals, audio, performance, and economy. If your rig is up to the task, this is the way to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Not my cup of tea.
One of the best mod packs out to play and the support from searge is amazing. It's been a long time since i saw something like that!
A well polished Last Day Modpack that massively cuts down on a lot of the issues found in Last Day, Call of MISERY and similar freeplay mods (like the normally everpresent instability issues and memory crashes. They are not gone completely, but reduced significantly). It also rebalances a lot of the more irritating parts of Last Day to be all around less annoying. Add to that the currently rather common updates and mods being added and you have a modpack that eclipses its source by a decent bit.
Yos, true stalker experience. Better goes with few shots of cheap vodka and pink processed meat stick.
мне нравится быстрая работа игры на моем пк
Changed by previous review after replaying the mod with the Back to the Roots pack,the mod can now run as fast as LD and with hardcore economy on it can also be challenging.
Absolutely amazing. Captures the nightmare the zone actually is, atmosphere is just on point, this mod is one of my favorites so far.
