“S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl” Let’s Play

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, the player is dipped into the Zone—where you will be fighting against Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, and Robbers. These S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s have varying motivations for exploring the Zone, while the player’s main motivation is to survive. This is one of the older games on this list but has aged very well. The developers of GSC Game World put plenty of care in creating this survival FPS game by forming a living, breathing open world that embraces the player experience. The game’s beauty comes from its accurate use of real-life details: buildings that are modeled after the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and movements that follow the actual laws of physics. In addition, its engaging storyline is complemented with a day-night cycle, weather system, and reactive NPC’s.

Wolf is just one of many fun characters: Each NPC will be memorable for their established personality.

A non-infatuated stalker: This is a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. that kills rather than loves.
