Someone jammed the Stalker tap in the 'on' position and now no one can turn it off. After Stalker: Call of Prypiat released in 2009, we were stuck waiting 15 years for another entry in the series (and it was just as wonderful and busted as ever), and now we seem to be awash in Stalker stuff: big updates for Stalker 2, remasters of the entire original series, and now: Stalker Anomaly has hit GOG's one-click modding program.
It's a great time to be alive. If you're not up-to-date on your Stalker mod projects, first of all: shame on you. Second of all: Stalker Anomaly is a standalone mod that acts as a kind of proto-Stalker 2—it stitches together maps from across the three original games into one great omni-map and lets you run wild across it, poking and prodding at sandbox mechanics like its buffed-up A-Life system and faction warfare.
