"It's an enormously good game but often over-demanding!"

by PC-Support999 on February 2, 2009

Pros: After many, many hours of play, I can say that Stalker is partially a good game.

Cons: Conceptual flaws:

Game forces player to plan time.

Very disturbing regarding radioactive storms.

There is no escape from this havok except from the rarely spread bunkers.

No vehicles.
Summary: Excellent game, BUT frustration doesn't only result from bugs, but also from too high a difficulty - I'm still having the option "novice", still the radio-storms force me to deal with time which I try to ESCAPE from when playing a PC game!!!

good hint: first, the poisonous storm comes at about 2230 hours when you're at agroprom or at some higher level.

then, further on in the game, there's a second storm coming at about 1100 o clock in the morning.

And besides: when you hear the deep howling, and suddenly, it gets TOTALLY dark and then it's daylight suddenly, its all over for you, my friend. Reload a save some hours earlier and go into a bunker while the storm wreaks havok.
