I find it incredible that despite enjoying jumping between games at the moment (CyberPunk, Tarkov, Division 2 mostly) that this 13 year old game has taken all my time the past couple of days. I'm spamming F5 quick saves because its Stalker and you die all the time and I'm loving every second.
It looks great, plays and feels great, all the maps from all the games have been joined together into one. I'm of the opinion Stalker 2 will be half as good, just better looking. We will see.
