Make your way to the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant through radiation, anomalies, enemies, mutants, and conflict-raging Zone.

FACTION WARS

With anomalous activity at unprecedented levels, the Zone trembles under constant instability. Choose your path carefully or play all sides like a true mercenary and directly influence the precarious balance of power within the Zone.

Good Hunting, stalker!

Bought the OG Stalker Trilogy, got the remasters for free. Compared to the OG Stalkers, this was a bad move from GSC. Removed content, censorship and so on, they literally did a remaster just to remove the
