Great shooter with a good open world. Probably my favorite of the STALKER games, but I'll need to replay the others to be sure. The atmosphere is engrossing and can lead to many spooky moments when exploring abandoned buildings. Combat is fun when fighting either human or mutant enemies. Theres a great variety of main and side missions that dont get stale or boring, they never really start feeling like a slog. Getting through the dangerous anamolies to hunt for artifacts can be really rewarding and a great challenge. Even though the game takes aroud 20 hours to complete when you take your time and do all or most of the missions, it still feels like its lacking atleast one more area. The ending just didnt feel right and almost feels like it comes out of nowhere, but its not that big of a deal.
