S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Played On: PC
Release Date: February 2, 2010
Genre: Open World/RPG/Survival Horror

REALISTIC POST-APOCALYPTIC NUCLEAR HORROR

The Fallout series may be the most famous post-nuclear disaster video game series out there, but there's always been another series I've come back to more and more times to get a true fix of post-apocalyptic horror: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. While having fantastical sci-fi elements in its own right, the simulation design of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. gives the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone an uncannily scary realism that never fails to just suck me right in to its brutal and unforgiving world. Call of Pripyat improves on the series by actually being well-optimized without many crashes, along with some minor gameplay changes like new mutants and a slightly modified trading system that just continues to emphasize the harsh nature of the world S.T.A.L.K.E.R. portrays.

I think it takes a special kind of person to enjoy a game like this. I doubt many will have the patience for its large areas, myriad of survival elements to keep track of, difficult gunplay with accurate recoil, absolutely slow pace, and overall unpolished nature. Yet, there's a fantastic kind of feeling I get just from walking through the game's many open areas, mixed feelings of awe & fear that draw on my own knowledge of the real Chernobyl to craft an experience unlike any other. Whether you spend 10 minutes or 100 minutes in this terrific world, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is a game that captures the imagination and may even grip you enough to see it through to the bitter end.
