Have played around 5h of this and I have to say it's a bit of a grind so far. No, it not even close to stalker. It's true that i has anomalies but that's about it. I am also not a fan of the aesthetics, the music or the feel of the characters (probably because I went in expecting something closer to slavic hell is other slavs and not this indie folk introspective isolation while a bunch of dudes I don't care about bicker on the radio).
Still, the game has obvious merits and I couldn't give it less than 3 stars with a good conscience. I might play it a bit more, or maybe I should wait into getting a new computer that can run modern stuff.
