Very fun and very difficult. For those of us who have played the three previous Stalker titles, it's interesting how all the areas evolve. Highly recommended despite some bugs if you don't mind dying a few times.

Briefly and to the point, the performance is a failure. It's not the same as the old good Stalker from Chernobyl. Money thrown in the gutter.

Every choice seemed vital because of the strong gameplay elements, which include controlling resources like health and ammo. There were moments when I felt very afraid, particularly when I came across anomalies that, if I wasn't careful, could quickly destroy me.
However, I did experience some quite dismal performance problems. It was challenging to completely enjoy the action due to frame rate decreases in several places. Furthermore, even while the survival aspects are interesting, there are moments when they feel too much to handle, such as when I was continuously concerned about radiation exposure while looking for food. Although it's undoubtedly not for everyone, it's worth trying if you're prepared to put up with a few glitches in exchange for an engaging experience!
