    I’m pleased with your positive review. I also adore the vanilla games and find the series to be deeply immersive and atmospheric. It’s difficult to put into words exactly how the Zone makes me feel, but it’s something that is as beautiful as it is haunting, and it’s certainly not lost on STALKER fans. It seems like you value the Zone in many of the same ways that I do, and if the missing A-life really hasn’t bothered you or felt as though it has stripped the world of something important, then maybe it’s not as big of a handicap as I had assumed.

    I had played six hours or so and really liked it, but it ran poorly on my GPU (I’ve since upgraded) and I was worried the missing A-life was going to hinder my enjoyment of it. The r/stalker community is really toxic in that regard, and I regret poking my head in there.
