This game was made prior famous Stalker series, but GSC touch is already there.
In retrospect, it's easy to see how some ideas, visual tropes and the mood from this game will migrate to the Stalker series:
Attention to assets and weapons, big open spaces and mutants.

I'm not sure that this is worth revisiting for its gameplay, mostly for academic and anthropological reasons.

Biggest challenge of this game is actually making it to work.
