this is my stand in review for all (conversion) mods for stalker games i played. probably played anomaly or something based on it.

anyways they all are free and, as far as i saw, never required any of the original games but are so good i ended up buying the other 2 stalker games besides shadow of chernobyl which was my first stalker game, just so i give back to the original developers/asset creators somehow after playing those mods what feels like several hundred of hours combined...probably i should give the modders also some money speaking off...

if u want a sandbox freeform rpg, as hardcore/tactially/survivally as u'd like single player experience and enjoyed the core mechanics of the stalker games (not everyones cup of tea), u should definitely try some of the stalker based mods
