Reader, you're looking at (an article written by) what might be the first person in history to 100% Stalker: Shadow of Chornobyl – Enhanced Edition on PC. GSC Game World properly released its "fully remastered and optimised" touch-ups of the original Stalker trilogy—Shadow of Chornobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Prypiat—this morning, free for all owners of the originals, but I used games writer privilege to fully scour the Zone in a 23-hour playthrough over the course of last week. I really like Stalker, what can I say?
Colour me surprised, then, that at time of writing the Steam reviews for all three games in the remastered trilogy currently sit at Mostly Negative, while scrolling down to the reviews themselves reveals a sea of angry red. I had no problems in my own playthrough; had players somehow gotten their hands on a different version of the game than I did?
