Thanks to the A-Life engine, we can see these different things all work dynamically, and at times, very chaotically. Sometimes they can even form protection around a campfire while a stalkers strums a Russian folk song from a guitar. Fellow stalkers and various factions also inhabit the Zone providing you safe havens and even escorts to different destinations. It all makes the idea of setting out at night a very serious choice. The abandoned buildings and warped structures become challenges as well as you press towards your objectives or search for hidden caches. Anomalies scattered around the area will do anything from shock you, suck you in to crush you, or send you up 30 feet in the air only to explode. The Zone can be a scary place filled with all sorts of mutants and monsters, bandits, military patrols. While the plot is obviously different between the games, your missions end up navigating through the Zone in an open world structure. Through the different games, you are put in the shoes of a stalker in the middle of the very strange and dangerous Zone.
Here it is generally considered safe if you need to check your gear or heal up. While this just sounds like a bunch of fucking garbled ideas pulled from a hat, what made this game stand out was how the gameplay and setting worked hand in hand to create one of the most immersive experiences in first person shooters to this day. Now add monsters, bandits, radioactive blowouts, Russian folk singing, and AK's galore and it sums up the game setting pretty well. The Stalker series is more based off an old Tarkovsky film “Stalker” in which scouts named stalkers lead people in and out of an military restricted area where strange anomalies exist known as the Zone. If we cared to dive in a little, we would have found that Chernobyl was just an excuse to use an even crazier idea. I'm sure that I'm not the only one that blew this game off with Shadow of Chernobyl sounding tacky and a little stupid.
