I think you may like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series if you like playing hard or difficult games. I've been doing a recording for Call of Pripyat end-game singleplayer because of how hard it is using a mod called Misery. Turns the game into a the Dark Souls of survival horror FPS. Feel free to check it out through my steemit or YouTube. I highly suggest this game if you like those genres.
I've played every Stalker released but not that mod. Sounds interesting, when my interest for stalker games sparks again i will try it for sure. Tnx for the comment.
You will be lured back to the zone eventually. I decided to play through CoP my first time by using the mod because I thought it would make things more interesting. IMHO, good idea to put it off for later because the mod will be releasing newer versions soon enough. Keep up the fine work, I enjoy your articles/stories. :)
