I've always gone with a tour that starts in Slavutych and takes the workforce train to the power plant. Full days from Tuesday to Friday then back to Kiev for Saturday, floy home Sunday. In more recent years we've spent the weekend before in Kiev becuase it's a great city. Each time I've been I've done something different - climbed Duga, rode on top of an APC (until it broke down - it is Ukraine after all
) frightened the locals in an inflatable T Rex costume, driven an RC Lada Niva around Pripyat, crashed my drone more than once, eating too much food grown and cooked in the irradiated soil, mistaken the stage at the strip club for the toilet (that honestly happened) had my head set on fire whilst drinking shots.The powerplant tour visiting the control rooms and standing on top of reactor 3 was a particular highlight of the last trip.
Generally just the very best time, making some lifelong friendships, together with taking in the beauty of the place and its eventual demise into the ground.

Obviously that sounds incredible. Possibly given me enough hype to start thinking about 2023 (2022 is fully-booked already).
Back on topic, those minimum specs are beastly, but we're looking at a 2022 release; hopefully progress will have been made in the upgrade battle by then.

£95 for the top one and no stalker coins 
Can't wait ! I remember when back in the 2006 my brother had an alpha of stalker... and I loved every single minute of it. After release in Poland, they made AMAZING job with voiceover. This game is brilliant. I am hoping S2 to had the same atmosphere.

Having grown up with Stalker games and books (the universe is based on Strugatsy brothers' "Roadside Picnic") I can say one thing: if they manage to keep the atmosphere of the trilogy intact, with the bandits shouting "Маслину поймал" they can take my money any day. I would not expect great gameplay from the studio, definitely not Metro Exodus, but lets hope for the best!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Is one of those games I picked up in a sale for very cheap knew nothing about it really and was just blown away. For its time its was very ground breaking. Not played anything that comes close to nailing an atmopshere like it did.
Loved how hard it was at the start and just made you feel like a stalker. Very excited for this as METRO just never did it for me, to much hand holding.
No doubt they screw it up and its nothing like the orignal 3.

Same here, fine for a once or maybe twice run through...but that's about it as far as that series goes for me.
O and a great documentry on the orignal game for any STALKER fans

A hefty delay, but better than rushing it.
