not worth the wait for this unreal slop
little slow to get into at first but once you figure things out this game is fantastic
super fun game, so far the best fps survival i have played. It really satisfies the single player need!
On lunch the game looked incredible but was very difficult and I constantly felt like it didn't value my time with how long it took to accomplish anything and how often I would have to do multiple loot runs just to fix my main kit, as on launch repair costs were very absurd. Now, much later I can fully recommend this game, the repair costs and economy has been very well adjusted to much more bearable amounts. I feel like I can actually play the main story and explore without spending an absurd amount of money and resources fixing my gear. The story is amazing if you are a long time stalker fan but is very approachable and equally amazing if it is your first Stalker experience as it does just enough lore exposition and previous game references (and characters) so you don't feel in the dark.
