Watch Out for Fireballs! 230: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (Premium)
Added 2019-03-14 12:01:01 +0000 UTCI said don't just stand there. Come in!
The Zone is a strange place with wondrous promises. It's full of atmosphere and lead, as bands of Stalkers and mutants fight over its strange artifacts, hoping they don't get torn apart by pockets of anomalous physics. Loosely based off of a famous Russian novel and film, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl caps off our Desperation month. Though you quickly get over the resource curve and find your Zone-legs, it remains a demanding shooter throughout... until it gets too demanding, but you probably expected that from a PC game of this vintage.

I really tried to get into this game, but it just couldn't hook me. I'm not even sure why. I didn't straight-up dislike anything about it. I just hit that "I'd rather be playing something else" wall extremely early. As always, thanks for your insights!
