S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is slavjank at its finest. While the game has aged relatively well, one must still keep in mind that this is a game produced with shoestring budget and had a somewhat troubled development cycle. The caveats in mind, STALKER is an excellent semi-open world shooty-survival-y romp with a decent story to it. The story is told through a few cutscenes, but mostly through either someone radioning you and telling something has happened, or through a dialog box before or after a mission.

Honestly an absolute legend all around, theres always things you’ve missed or hidden spots you havent experienced after you’ve played the game leagues of times, and the lore only goes deeper from here. One of my favorite games of all time, and the beginning to a legendary series.

Tunguska: The Visitation
This game is very hard, but in a strategic way. It requires no aiming skill or reflex, and you have plenty of time thinking about what to do to solve each combat scenario. Sometimes it’s more straight forward, and other times you have to die a few times to figure out the right way. It’s all about attention to details - some enemies wear armors, for example, and you can tell it from their appearance. But if you ignore that intel and just start shooting without the right kind of ammo, you’ll just be waiting ammo. There is a lot of details in the dialogues and journals, and you must pay pretty close attention to not miss important information.

6 hours in, and I really like this game. I first heard about it a couple of years ago on a Stalker forum, and my first impression from the previews was good. Now that I’ve had a chance to play the game, that first impression has been reinforced. Tunguska’s setting is moody and atmospheric. The gunplay and stealth are straightforward but challenging, and the overall result is a fun top-down twin-stick “shooter.” Quotes because there’s more to this than running and gunning – there are some light RPG elements, and a heavy element of exploration.

Zone Anomaly
Year 2106. As a result of the explosion of the power plant in 1986, a pentagonal radiation zone was created. Soon, all access for civilians was cut off. Countries agreed that the area will be managed jointly and used as a training ground for experimental weapons. With the passage of time more and more soldiers began to die in the zone, too much for maneuvers and tests. During the last operation, conducted in March 2106, a distorted radio report came from the zone and the communication ceased. Command stopped any activity inside the zone and sent there its best agent to investigate the situation.

Hard Truck Apocalypse / Ex Machina
There are a lot of games on Steam, but once in a while, you browse the catalogue and discover a little gem hiding somewhere in the deep ends of the underated section. Ex Machina is one of those games, but let me start off by saying that this game certainly isn’t for everyone, it’s genre is considered to be a very acquired taste, but I would say it’s worth the buy anyway just for the sake of trying it. I didn’t expect it to be anything amazing given it’s lack of popularity, but I was wrong, this game is truly brilliant.

The Crossout single-player predecessor, Hard Truck Apocalypse (original name Ex Machina fits it even better) was somewhat quite intense when it first hit the shelves. The gameplay (similar to the golden classic of the Russian game development, the Vangers) was quite addictive, with all that driving in the wastes of the post-apocalyptic open world, shooting bandits, upgrading your car, delivering some post quests and convoying caravans… Driving, driving and then some more driving and fighting with your car. There was also an intriguing sci-fi story plot, with some twists and various ways to go through the game (two starting quest lines, non-linear solutions in every big chained mission in every game area, and two endings, with two different boss fights and outcomes).

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Has the fewest glitches of all the stalker games so far, but it lacks content and locations to explore compared to Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
Now, Part 2 of the revisions. To recap after the 1st stalker game revision….this is based on the vanilla experience.
Ah, the prequel. Also, the game that the stalker community thought was forgettable. Me? I personally LOVED this game. Sure, it’s missing a few things….namely hunger, and an all-around creepiness with some of the environments. But to counter, this game introduced some features that proved to be worthwhile; for instance, the weapon and armor upgrades and repair. Do the weapons and armor still degrade? Yes, but now you can enhance them with more armor plates, flex the durability, and even add protection against anomalies. It’s needed because if you ask me, this is the hardest of the 3 stalker games. Just as is with the first game, once you get to a certain point, there’s no turning back. So, be prepared for ANY situation again.

This classic game works great in Linux with using a proton 3.16 but you have to make some tweaks to fix fullscreen/window issues:
1. set launch option PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% in game’s properties
2. launch protontricks 20510 vd=1920x1080 windowmanagerdecorated=n windowmanagermanaged=n with your screen resolution to place the game in special borderless window
Game is good, it has a good story, but there are many unresolved bugs:
- to fix bug with USB flash drive I was obliged to unpack game’s resources and manually edit a script to add quest item into the inventory. This is the shame for devs! howto

Metro Exodus
Full of atmosphere, good guitar play, story line, feelings…
Seems like you need to have a taste of life; feel a bite of life… Some life EXPERIENCE to dive deeply into the storyline and feel the things in the most proper way…
Not sure if this will be a spoiler, but here is the link for one of the guitar songs in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAxRWiV29k0
Seems like English-speaking people are amazed with the song and the game itself, and it’s a pleasure to know this. And same for the people from the former CIS who can dive into many CIS-specific things, meanings, machinery - subway itself! (and have some exodus:) ) - and so on and so on.

Game-breaking freeze/crash bug in or around the fourth chapter (at a lighthouse) effecting a wide number of players, they’ve had years of complaints and they haven’t bothered to patch it, instead releasing an “enhanced edition” that looks like turd salad with ramped-up system requirements.
Linear game-play in a pseudo-“open world” (compartmentalized into regions/chapters) environment where a blind man could see the puerile “plot twists” coming, even though the B-movie comic book characters cannot. Yes, I’m talking about the cannibals thing.
