"S.T.A.L.K.E.R., an open-shooter set in the wasteland formed by a second accident at Chernobyl power plant, knows how to push your buttons. Traveling a countryside filled with mercenaries and rabid creatures intent on killing you is stressful enough but it's not nearly as bad as the forays into abandoned factories and research facilities. Mutants with telekinetic powers and invisibility await you in the dark corners and will make you lose your shit on several occasions. The realistic weapon recoil, limited backpack space, weapon decay and fatigue mechanics are all slightly annoying but are necessary to keep you grounded. The shooter genre's filled with Rambo wannabes and heavily armored space marines but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. made you feel very human and very vulnerable." - Pete Haas, Game Blend
