While it's a first-person shooter at heart, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. borrows elements from roleplaying games and even the Grand Theft Auto series to create what in some ways feels like a single-player MMORPG. Set in the year 2012, the game is based on the premise that there was a second Chernobyl meltdown in 2006. As the surrounding zones have been closed off, and strange creatures start to appear, you play a "stalker" -- a mercenary hired to sneak in and retrieve objects and information from the area...
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is about to launch and we've noticed player counts for the original trilogy spiking in anticipation.
"For a game that came out on PC almost two decades ago, it looks great on Nintendo's console. Resolution is stable when docked and handheld, with motion smoothing that makes rapid camera movement fluid. Options are plentiful, with copious sliders for controller sensitivity. There’s only a gamma slider for visuals, though, and it would have been helpful to enlarge the tiny text, a strain to read on a large screen." - Ken Talbot | NintendoLife
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
