Atomic atmosphere of the Zone Purely survivalist approach Smarter combat than average Interesting survival mechanics Harsh and hostile open world Ukrainian voiceover: perfect for immersion Long lifespan (between 30 and 40 hours straight)
Bugs everywhere (visual, audio, textures, collision, ragdoll, freezes, crashes) The graphical downgrade is severe Gunplay is incredibly sluggish Not very smart AI An interface from another era Stiff animations NPCs are very stiff Rarely exciting missions Lack of rhythm I hope you enjoy walking

Borrowing rights for very complex role-playing games
Large relatively open gaming world
Neat graphics and stunning loading animations.
Good quest structure with many decisions and often different solution options.

Top-notch cutscene work
A beautifully realized world that?s utterly unforgiving
No half-baked RPG progression nor pointless grinds
Gunplay feels weighty and realistic in the right ways
Side quests are generally intriguing and worth your time

It?s hard to care about Skif and his role in the story
The back half of the main quest becomes a bit of a slog to play through
Factions and artifacts feel like an afterthought
Outdated animations and NPC behaviour undo much of the immersion
Some enemies are bullet sponges that don?t fit in with the rest of the game
Constant audio problems affecting both dialogues and sound effects
Unavoidable shader compilation step every time you open the game
General instability that can result in corrupted saves
Stuttering and FPS drops that feel random and aren?t tied to PC specs
