Let us know what you think Couch. This wasn't on my radar but looks intriguing!

I'm another that's curious to see what you'll think about it, Couch. I do like the genre, so that's a plus.

Well my impression after a few hours isn't that positive. The game is how do I put it confusing. The introduction prologue makes no damn sense. Your just shoved along.

Still the graphics and other areas shine but the game just doesn't grab my attention, or make me want to play more. It's nothing like stalker either more of a horror mystery.

I think I've already mentioned that I wasn't impressed when I tried the EA version about a year ago. It focuses more on psychological horror compared to the post-apoc vibe of Stalker. It also seems to be a lot more linear. People expecting an experience similar to Stalker are going to be disappointed.

I'm sad to hear that experience from you both (CouchPotato and JDR13). If it isn't a Stalker-clone, then I think I will pass.

Same here. Some appeal because of the Chernobyl site, but not for the game itself.
