The title STALKER is a reference to Stalker, a 1979 art film by the legendary Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky. Beneath the digital shadow of the Chernobyl power plant, amongst the monsters and burly men playing guitar and shouting “cheeki breeki,” it’s easy to forget the literary and artistic roots of the franchise.
Yet for all my barely controllable enthusiasm, I hope that this time around the developers take more risks with the narrative and embrace STALKER’s source material. Assuming we are not looking at a vertical slice that will be downgraded or fall apart in action, STALKER 2 looks set to deliver long-absent, long-missed thrills in a shiny and polished new package. The graphics look unreal, the game world oozes the familiar foreboding atmosphere, and the gameplay seems to recapture the frantic firefights and patient exploration of the old titles. 2: Heart of Chernobyl (or just STALKER 2, to simplify) shown at E3 2021 is prime hype material. Great also for those who're sick of the original games but want to mess around in something before Stalker 2 comes out.This discussion of STALKER 2 contains spoilers for the novel Roadside Picnic, the film Stalker, and for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Play in different factions, sandbox, or story mode. It's pretty much a free Stalker game made by modders. I haven't personally used this, but am currently replaying the trilogy and plan to give it a shot.ĭon't want to risk paying $2.89 but want to know what the fuss is about? Stalker Anomaly is a standalone mod that is set after the timeline of the original games.
OpenXRay is an open source version of the X-Ray engine used for the STALKER series, and works great for Stalker - Call of Pripryat. The game doesn't explicitly let you know, but there's an alternate exit that appears in the north side once you've entered back into the swamp map. Remember when leaving the swamp area that there's a big military presence on the other side. The swamps at the beginning can be a bit of a turn off for some people, there's a machine gun that's famously weak that's been beefed up slightly in this mod, as well as some bug fixes. Sky Reclamation Project is great too for Clear Sky. Not only does it provide bug fixes, but there's an included exe that lets you modify certain settings, including lowering the head bobbing, which originally gave me nausea.
Zone Reclamation Project is a must for people getting into Shadow of Chernobyl.
