Meet and greet the shooter that came in from the cold

But despite all this, has it been worth the wait? Yes. Should you, as a connoisseur and veteran of FPS games, buy it? Again, yes. STALKER, like Far Cry and Deus Ex before it, feels like a defiantly hardcore outing in PC gaming.

We won’t lie to you, it’s not what we were promised all those years ago; but that’s no reason to be ungrateful either. As a brave experiment in all-action shootery STALKER has certainly succeeded, though with its dearth of personality and many peculiar foibles, you can’t help but wish that the publishers had granted GSC some extra time to polish their creation. Oh, hang on a minute…

You'll love
  • Awesome setting
  • Great action, brilliant high-end weapons
  • AI is awesome to be around
You'll hate
  • Awkward side missions
  • Crap script, storytelling, side characters
  • Took forever to come out
