* LEGENDARY MUTANTS WITH DIFFERENT BEHAVIOUR MODELS
* ARTIFACTS OF INCREDIBLE VALUE AND UNFORGIVING ANOMALIES

Discover the legendary S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe!


About the Game

The Zone, a place full of unfathomable wonders and sinister threats – former exclusion territory near the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. This most dangerous place on Earth became even more mysterious after an obscure accident in 2006. Anomalies with precious artifacts, starving mutants and greedy thugs have flooded these lands along with stalkers searching for a new life and ways to get rich… Feel as one of them in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl!

SEARCHING


To survive, a true stalker must not stop his search. Valuable trophies, equipment and supplies, new friends, shortcuts or answers to the grimmest riddles of these lands are what give a chance not to perish. So prepare for a foray to find your fate in the Center of the Zone, the most protected place from unwanted guests.

HAZARD


The path of a stalker to his goal is never a walk in the park. A treacherous anomaly, able to mash even the most experienced fighter, the stray of ravenous mutants or jarring betrayal – any of these things can cost your life. Get ready to check your skills and gumption, enduring the superior numbers of rivals and mutants. Stay alert even when you are alone – here at the Zone, everything is rarely what it seems at first glance.

DESOLATION


These desolate lands of eternal autumn are full of hundreds of vagabonds. Though, the stalker is always on his own, facing dangers that are often unseen. Listen carefully, calculate every step and trust no one but yourself and Geiger counter. Only intuition combined with mastery and ice-cold guts can save a free stalker from being Lost to the Zone.

A true classic. This game has its very own charm. Tells an alternative history and overall a fun experience.

Haven't felt tedious at all except for one of the endings you get to do a very long dragged out battle. Some weapons are quite bad but AI is good. It's the scariest entry in the series by far. If you have never played any Stalker games, start from this one.

Thanks to its story and setting, I really got drawn into the game. After completing it I couldn't wait but go to play the next parts. I finished the whole game two times and would do that again as Shadow of Chernobyl is still playabe even in 2025. It's definitely worth trying out.

I haven't fallen in love with a new series in a long time like I have with this game. I jumped into it knowing a little bit from a youtuber breaking down the series. The combat is hilarious, addicting, frustrating, and most of the time out of your hands. Landing a one tap head shot from 200m away to point blank missing a mag makes me laugh. The atmosphere of the game is so good though. I played on Master difficulty and can not speak for what the other difficulties are like, but the intensity of being one shot if you miss a play is a fun mechanic to me. Cant wait to play the next two games and eventually the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

This is a 10 out of 10 game.

While the graphics and stealth may not hold up in 2025.

It's still a game far surpassing most games ever made since.
Even today.

Try it out, you will find games like Metro 2023 is severely lacking in many ways when you do.
While Metro Exodus gave us at least a decent crafting system. And a level of weapon detail.

Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl still shines as a hallmark of what video games can achieve.

The shit still hits strong after all those years since I played it for the first time in 2007. I still think it has the strongest story among the trilogy.

If you don't think it's worth full price then wait for a discount (they drop 70-80% every 3-4 weeks) and cheeki-breeki the shit out of this game!

This is the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. i ever played back in 2022, delayed but managed to finished it this time. it basically tells us about what happen to Wish Granter or Project of C. Consciousness. The reason behind the anomalies, psy storms, emission, etc. What can we learn about this? Its about not trusting the very rewarding thing from someone we dont know very well. Иди ко мне. Ты обретёшь то, что заслуживаешь( I got this word followed,and this cause i got bad ending first time) which needed to deeply research about it (the guide mission), that concludes what Strelok learns about the truth of C. Consciousness and Monoliths. That was very good plot story, Great deal of a life lesson.

Just sit on the campfires with other Stalkers with our own problems and jokes (rumbling in russian). And one more thing, please kill the zombies stalker ( they need to be put out of their miseries).

Get out of here, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
(If i get some of this wrong , please give some guidelines. Thank you)

Story was fantastic. Beat the game with one of the false endings, I was quite confused, until I gave it a replay, did a different choice from the first and got the true ending. When I fully understood what the storyline was about I have to admit. Stalker SOC is quite memorable. If you give the gun system a chance and try to play, you will enjoy.

First, yes, you absolutely SHOULD play this game. If you're reading this here right now then that means you're obviously curious about it. I'll save you the mulling over it being old and eurojank. This game is absolutely worth your time, it is a PHENOMENAL experience and it still plays very well after all those years (even on vanilla). I bought this game because my friend recommended it to me in high school (a full decade ago lol) and it exceeded every expectation I had for it.

Now, for a warning. This has to do with the end of the game but I will try my best to explain this with little/no spoilers for anything plot related, because I really, REALLY wish I had know this before I played the game:

the last two/three levels of this game are an awful experience. They are unfairly difficult in a way that is not possible to predict and prepare for without knowing ahead of time what you are getting into. I won't go into the context of what's happening or where it is happening, but suffice to say you're fighting an ASSLOAD of enemies that can easily one shot you in a setting that will kill you just by standing in it to long. It is INSANELY EASY TO SOFTLOCK yourself into not being able to complete the game (happened to me TWICE meaning I had to redo about 8 hours of the game for BS reasons). Here's what you need to avoid that:

- you need a powerful weapon with a LOT of ammo. These enemies will gut you as soon as they turn their attention on you; the best option is to take them out BEFORE they have the opportunity to fight back. That means precision head-shots with a quality weapon (mid-tier assault rifles aint gonna cut it, I'm afraid).
- You need VERY good armor. Like I said before, the enemies hit harder than a dump truck here. If you want to stand even the most remote of chances, you need some strong armor. More importantly though you need armor (and artifacts as well) that have good stats against radiation, which brings us to the last suggestion....
- you need a metric FUCKTON of anti-rad kits and medkits. This is non-negotiable. The radiation in the final area of the game is SO ridiculously extreme that it is, by far, your biggest enemy, and by far the single biggest culprit in the game for softlocking people out of completing it. Even after killing/escaping every hostile enemy in the final area, the radiation will continue to get worse and worse and if you do NOT have the right equipment to fight it literally all the way up to the final cutscene, there is a very real risk you will soft lock yourself literally FEET AWAY FROM TRIGGERING THE END. It is BEYOND frustrating. Make sure, for god's sake, that you take the radiation threat seriously at the end of the game. Up to that point, radiation has been at worst a moderate threat in game, which luls you into a false sense of security and might make you not collect enough anti-rad artifacts and equipment throughout. This is a MASSIVE MISTAKE to make. You absolutely need them for the final area, you will NOT SURVIVE if you do not prepare for this.

There, that's all you need to know to keep yourself from soft-locking yourself out of the end of the game. So long as you heed my advice and keep these points in mind for the end of the game, you should be golden. It's such a shame that the game ends on such a bullshit and unfair note like that, because evreything leading up to it is truly remarkable. But nevertheless, even with the terrible last few hours of the game, the vast majority of the game is incredible and definitely worth your time. Pick it up whenever you can, and good hunting, Stalker.

I have had this game in my library for years but had been put off by the slow, awkward opening couple hours. With the 4th game in the series, STALKER 2, being released, I decided to finally go give this game a try. I am glad I pushed past the awkward beginning because I honestly had a fun time. This is quite a janky game, don't get me wrong, but the atmosphere is fantastic and it's got a feel that I really haven't experienced since the original F.E.A.R.

In short: play this if you're willing to put up with some jank and some dated decisions.

This game is an, unexpectedly, detailed shooter for its time. The gameplay is great if you enjoy slow, loot-and-shoot type, with some horror aspect to it.

Since this is a very old game, there are lots of bugs and jank that you will encounter, so I suggest rebind the quick save to f5 , and quick load to f9, or somewhere familiar to press. I'm also glad my friend suggested a "ZRP" community patch to fix most of the common bugs in vanilla, so that there will be less headache later down the main story quest (MSQ). Since there are different progression paths, it's still a good idea to make hard saves every other MSQ completed, or before your quest giver gets himself killed, preventing you from receiving a reward.

Also, double-crouch and peaking buttons saved me from a lot of firefights.

In my opinions one of the best takes on a post apocalyptic world. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. world is dark and has many grim qualities that immerse the player into the game and its world along with its great writing and gameplay the only issue i can name is its not fully extensive English translations and its well aged graphics and controls but still worth giving the game a try.

Incredibly atmospheric semi-open world shooter game with light sandbox elements and a linear main story.

For anyone who wants to experience it vanilla I would still recommend the zone reclamation project mod as it fixes numerous bugs and crashes with the game, while leaving the visuals and gameplay alone.

Many of the firearms in this game are quite inaccurate and the obscure nature of it's mechanics sometimes make it difficult. Once you get used to that, it is a very enjoyable experience all the way up to it's ending. SSeth was right.

By far the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R., completely unmatched in terms of atmosphere and level design.

While not perfect gameplay-wise (it's clunky when compared to modern titles), this game is an unique experience and a masterpiece of immersion that makes the player feel the helplessness of the Zone and a constant sense of dread and anxiety, especially in earlier missions and closed spaces.

The AI is fantastic: since enemies' behaviour vary based on their rank, more experienced enemies will approach fights differently than rookies.
For example, while rookies will randomly shoot the player while standing still and rarely take cover, experienced enemies will always take a more strategic approach to the fight and may even take advantage of chaotic situations by silently flanking you. The best part is that there's no way of knowing which enemy is or isn't experienced at first glance, so you need to approach every fight with caution and leave no room for mistakes.

In the Zone, you will often see roaming NPCs camping or looking for stuff, bandits looking for people to kill and rob, mutants looking for food and fights randomly breaking out between factions. Since most of NPCs activity isn't scripted, the Zone feels alive and makes the player part of it instead of being the catalyst for everything.

Without spoiling, I especially love the way more dangerous mutants are set up in the game when compared to later titles. It makes encountering them a lot scarier.

All in all, this game is a 10/10 despite its age and outdated mechanics.

This 18-year old game was ahead of its time



FPS blended with stealth, survival horror and limited resources, open world, Post-apocalyptic, Inventory & financial management, sandbox-y side quests, decent story...It is everything I ever wanted.

The atmosphere of the game was fantastic to say to least...the gloomy weather and colour tone, rusty old piles of metal junks and abandoned buildings, the bird chirps and howling winds give an uneasy feeling as they conceive the danger of the Zone. The beeping of rad meter and anomaly detector constantly keep the player on the edge. And the underground labs - dark, confined and quiet (hopefully) - are simply nerve-racking.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series are commonly compared with the Metro or the Fallout Series in the "survival in a post-apocalyptic setting" sense. But another true appeal of this game lies in the inventory management and the open-world exploration. Another game play element of interest is that there are unique variants of some standard weapons for players to find. This is a very motivating factor as they have improved characteristics compared to the standard ones, but are also extremely rare, requiring the player to obtain them through specific means (special missions, hard to reach places, hidden stashes and unique enemy) In these regards, I would like to mention another game (apart from Fallout) that I thoroughly enjoyed: Galaxy on Fire 2 by Fishlabs, the inventory, trading and looting mechanism are spiritually similar in the two games.

Bear in mind SoC is an old game - so it might feel a bit rough on the edge in terms of graphics and GUI, but all in all it truly provides the purest old-school gaming vibe and pleasure: raw and unforgiving, down-to-earth and solid game play.

If you would like a cherry on top - get the Zone Reclamation Project (ZRP) mod. It fixes various notorious bugs and add convenience to the game play, while keeping it authentic.

This game has been released in 2007 and it definitely deserves soo much praise. This one was the first one in series and it was primarily focused to be fun, instead of being too survival like clear sky.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is one that I have really gotten into, over the past year. It's excellent, honestly, I can't gush enough about the atmosphere and strange allure of the Zone. From an outsider's perspective, it looks like your standard FPS, but with a skin of eastern Europe and mutants.

In that regard, their assessment is totally fair. However, the games hold a captivating presence that I just can't put down accurately into words. It's a mixture of vibes, atmosphere, tense environments, deadly combat, and compact but well designed world-building that all culminates into a compelling and unique series.

I would highly recommend checking it out, the studio has worked themselves tirelessly through many trials to bring these games to us. It would be a shame for their work to be looked over.

Now, the games are not perfect by any means, bugs and technical issues litter the franchise. Though these typically are not too invasive towards your experience, and criticism of these issues is completely valid. Though, I would suggest accounting for their experience as a smaller dev team, when addressing the technical issues with the games.

Absolute cult classic of the amazing stalker franchise, truly the only of its kind. I find it hard to explain in a good way, but its exactly what a survival rpg should be, it absolutely nails the world building, and the survival elements are great as well.

A very unique FPS. Incredibly atmospheric. Though there's a lack of general polish in terms of art, animations and game play, let this game seduce you. It is a very unique experience that I highly recommend. Nobody does these kinds of games anymore. So go for it!

wow! i seriously enjoyed this. my first stalker experience was STALKER 2 and it really is quite neat to see what it's based off.

i haven't played through many "old" games but this was a really cool experience, the atmosphere is top notch.

i did a run on pretty much pure vanilla (removed viewbob with a mod) and ran into minimal crashes so yay!

also heard cheeki breeki twice through my playthrough (should've been more)

A radioactive diamond in the rough. It still has rough parts to it, being an older game; facial models can look wonky, gunplay a smidge unresponsive, and pistols exceptionally weak ... but if you look past that to the neat story, great environments, and funky critters found within? You'll find yourself a wonderful romp.

Best, buggiest game you'll ever play. Easier to fix than New Vegas, at least.

"Come to me. You will get what you deserve."
- The Wishgranter

This is a mixed Review.

For starters, the acronym for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stands for "Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, Robbers". These are the kind of figures you'll find in and near the mysterious Zone, looking for fortune and opportunity alike, and nigh indistinguishable in look. Hence, if you're here, you're taken as one of such S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, and as such, you're also welcome to get out.

Ambitiously dropping in 2007, this game righteously gathered a cult following; a pseudo open-world with some RPG elements, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl (STALKER SOC) landed with a very strong art direction and loaded with several mechanics to take into consideration. However, ambitious as it was, SOC is a prodigy child that may as well have been dropped on its head - It does a lot of technical things, but none of them particularly well. And back in the day, when doing anything at all was considered a lot, it's safe to say this game earned its place as a classic.

This will be an overview of the Vanilla experience, so I urge you to come in. Don't just stand there.

Gameplay



STALKER: SOC stands tall as a classic by its mysteriously daunting experience. Many of its fans never understood, or bothered to understand, its difficulty system. That is because the staple sentiment of the SOC's gameplay pertains to being continuously heeled in the face; by the non playable characters (NPCs), by the environment, by your equipment, by the narrative, by your luck. This frankly happens in any difficulty, as environmental anomalies are deadly and enemies are bullet sponges no matter what; most weapons are pea shooters and any non-headshot damage is almost negligible. The biggest modifier for difficulty is in fact the loot drop table, and I have not noticed any further enjoyment from having this culled in the more difficult modes, so I recommend the easier ones for the first playthrough.

You do not level up in this game, but rather acquire or scavenge new equipment, and come across anomalous artifacts which are, well, anomalously produced by the Zone as you explore it. These give you different stats when equipped. If you perform side quests, it's usually for the money, which quite frankly doesn't have much of a use. Even on lower difficulties, you won't be able to afford anything interesting without grinding, and if still you do, its durability will deteriorate much faster than you can afford to buy a new one of whatever it is; you can't ordinarily repair anything.

As an RPG, the game features a continuously running open-world "simulation" where NPCs go around being their S.T.A.L.K.E.R. selves; that is, looting, wandering, killing each other, ganging up, profiteering, all without your observation or input. I believe SOC invented the concept of "radiant quests", where traders and NPCs will continuously produce fetch and elimination quests for you to farm with. That is, if farming was a good idea in a game with equipment condition and no level ups.

While its simulation aspect is interesting, it is the epitome of jank; often NPCs will complete elimination quests for you by the sheer fact they are trying to stay alive in the affected area, or story critical NPCs roaming about will be Lost to the Zone by random crap happening, locking you out of your own story and forcing you to reload a save. The biggest advice veteran stalkers will give you for this game, is indeed to save often and load again.

As a FPS, the game provides some enjoyment with a large arsenal, binocular scouting identification system, multiple movement options, special weapon mods, ammo types, and NPC tactics. Unfortunately the detection mechanics are often janked which make most of these redundant, so in Vanilla you're playing a linear hallway shooter for half the game. SOC's hallways will intensify and comically turn into a monolithic experience the deeper you get in the Zone, as its RPG open world design falls completely apart. It is not its selling point in the slightest.

Some suggest there are also countless bugs; my most recent playthrough only had up to 2 crashes. But I also saved a lot, and often loaded on reaction, so if something really bad happened, then well it didn't happen!

Art Direction



It's safe to say STALKER: SOC only became a cult classic because of its presentation and atmosphere. Mechanics are not the selling point of SOC but are merely there to complement the gritty, eerie, overwhelming feeling it is going for. This is all made clear by its narrative inspiration, Roadside Picnic and Tarkovsky's 2 hour Stalker film based off the book, which has very strong industrial, existential, and human themes to it.

Presenting night and day mechanics alongside impressive shaders that still hold up in 2024, grainy UI, visual overlay effects, and outsanding use of audio samples, SOC is at its best when you take a moment and allow it to speak through its environment.

CGI cutscenes for important narrative events also are mesmerizing and look artistically pleasing, specially for the time, and produce themselves only when appropriate for the theme.

Conclusion



STALKER: SOC is an extremely rough diamond eager to scratch you relentlessly if you grip it the wrong way. Regardless, many contemporary games and artwork have since been inspired by its first shine.

While things tend to be more polished nowadays, STALKER:SOC produced an anomalous impact in gaming culture, so experiencing it first hand is honestly a must if you'd ever like to develop critical outlook for this sort of media. It has good things, it has bad things. It's absolutely not for everyone; many have become lost and crashed in its jank Zone, but those that make it back will understand and appreciate everything they do get to have a little bit more.

As an addendum; the community for this game is still vibrant, there are many full overhaul mods available that tweak, add, or remove mechanics, and there are DRM free versions of this software at GOG.

With all that said you could really play this forever, but is that really what you'd wish for?
