For a look at chapters, please open the description. This is not merely a compilation, but a wholly new look overall over years. STALKER has kept me company from adolescence to adulthood. It has comforted me when I was lonely, with nobody else to talk to. And so, I began to play. I played vanilla, I played mods. From STALKERSOUP to Anomaly and GAMMA, I played mods. Every single entry, from Shadow of Chornobyl to STALKER 2, though I played it initially when it was still very buggy, and thus I am waiting a little while, at least for Update 1.5 to come. I no longer wait for each and every new stalker 2 update, I've since understood. I learned about all of the factions in STALKER, I listened to the soundtracks over and over by MoozE. I hated but came to love Dirge for the Planet in Sidorovich's Bunker. I met Barkeep after that first harrowing sprint to Rostok, too afraid to look behind me at the pursuing military and bandits. I felt sad for Fang, Ghost, Doc, and Strelok. I was then introduced to Scar in Clear Sky, and the Great Swamps... as well as the underwhelming Faction Wars.
And, according to my friends, the weakest entry in the series, Call of Prypiat (which I actually loved). GSC has definitely bungled quite a few things over the years, that is nothing new; this is concerning the old trilogy as well as STALKER 2. This concerns their outsourcing to Mataboo or Frag Labs, as well as the Physical Collector's Editions and that controversy there.

So, while not quite a stalker retrospective, it certainly hits all the major points, a la Anomalous Dugout, Stalker World, Vatislavovych, etc. Be sure to stick around if you enjoy the stalker series, as I release new videos about it weekly or so. Just be careful you're not exposed to too much feedwater.
Hopefully this will tide you over until we finally get shadow of chornobyl remastered, or the stalker trilogy itself remastered.
