bealtiful.

i haven't played the original, most people told me this was definitive version so i jumped the gun, wow i didn't expect this to be such a fun ride.
the weapons feel fun to shoot and customize even if limited, the worldbuilding grips you like a gorilla and chokeholds you through the entire playthrough, they simply don't let go, they do everything in their power to give you the feeling of a poor soviet in the middle of an apocalipse. i bough the damn book after this.
the only thing that keeps it as a 9 instead of a 10 is the librarians and the fact they didn't give me more of hunter, but hey i loved miller just as much. the soundtrack barely creeps in but when it does it gives such a vibe.
this also is a great example of bad ending good ending done right, its the right balance of good deeds to let you experience it without making you do stuff that would make the game boring like ''colect 50 hidden mcguffins'' or ''never kill a single person the entire playthrough'' keep in mind i haven't done a single stealth section, but all the good deeds i could do, i did, and i got the good endind, i only re-did the bad ending out of curiosity afterwards.
overall i super recommend, because MAN, its been a while since a game left me this satisfied.
i walked away from it feeling refreshed, not burned out
