    Absolutely deserved 8 for such a unique atmosphere, and filling the game world with various items and tasks mixed up with the story missions. From what run all over the map in search of new artifacts and opportunities to earn extra money is not boring. The variability of endings by the original as well as impressive.

    I played STALKER in 2008 and again a few months ago. The graphics are a little eye-searing, but the music, audio effects, and story atmosphere are still on top.
    In my opinion, the game deserves a place in the history of the gaming industry.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: THE SHADOW OF CHERNOBYL is definitely one of the most atmospheric shooters with RPG and horror elements ever made, in which the crooked engine with bugs is the only problem that does not allow to give 10 points

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    Shadow of Chernobyl is in my opinion one of the best games ever created. It combines awesome story telling with an atmospheric environment that sends chills down your spine. The AI fells almost like an actual player because it doesn't just sit around waiting to get shot, the AI tries flanking, it tries to shoot when you are reloading and searches for cover.

The AI fells almost like an actual player because it doesn't just sit around waiting to get shot, the AI tries flanking, it tries to shoot when you are reloading and searches for cover. The game tries to make you scare yourself by spawning random mutant hordes and anomalies. Overall it's an almost perfect game.… Expand

    A well-made atmospheric video game about the consequences of the Chornobyl tragedy.

    after years of developing the stalker game rejoiced players from Ukraine and other countries,i think it`s one of the best games from 2000.

    As a brave experiment in all-action shootery, STALKER has certainly succeeded, though with its dearth of personality and many peculiar foibles, you can't help but wish that the publishers had granted GSC some extra time to polish their creation. Oh, hang on a minute... [Apr 2007, p.56]

    It's a warped behemoth from the Ukraine, and one of the scariest games on the PC. Stalker will remind you of all kinds of prior games, and yet it will also defy your expectations. Like the mythological Chernobyl zone it is based upon, this game is a treacherous, darkly beautiful terrain. Not everyone is going to enjoy venturing into the zone, but some of those who do will find what they've been looking for.

    Littered with a variety of anomalies which can cause the unwary to explode and other delightful stuff, mutant doggies, deserted buildings, weather effects, real-time day/night cycles etc. etc. - it creates a deliciously unique atmosphere.
