S.T.A.L.K.E.R fans are a strange breed. You either bull through it and walk away with a “Okay time, never going to boot it up again”, or you’re 2 hours deep and already halfway through the bottle of vodka, chewing on hard bread, and singing along with the NPCs.
I recently started playing again. Stalker Anomaly is pretty good but even for a veteran of the series (played them all vanilla) it has a pretty high barrier of entry because there’s just so much shit. Options, new mechanics, so much new stuff to learn about. And after you think you’ve sorta figured it out, you walk outside the Rookie village and a single cat mauls you to death without you even having time to react.
I love it. After some insane encounters, you really feel like it’s time for some pocket warm vodka and a smoke.

We live and die by the Zone.
