Chernobyl: Origins

[strike]So far I have enjoyed the game, untill I have encountered the ''funni'' puzzle in Chapter 5. Despite the two guides available on Steam it wasn't enough to help me solve the puzzle which contains a code that is vital for continuing the game further. It's just not for people who don't want to ''bang their heads against the wall'' for hours.[/strike] Ignoring my previous comment regarding the puzzle. It took me several trials but in the end I have finally manage to solve it. Right from the beginning of the game, with the introduction itself, the game it gives S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibes giving the fact that the story goes around secret experiements in underground labs including under Pripyat. The puzzles are interesting and require couple of tries but nothing that cannot be completed (there are guides for them). Starting from the beginning, which was annoying at first each mistake leads to imminent death to the character, but later on that could be understood because probably the authors of the game were trying to show us that we are nothing but an ordinary scientist who is trying to survive the worst nuclear accident in the history of mankind. [spoiler] The third ending which is neutral and in which the word ''stalker'' is used for the first time, makes me think that perhaps the authors of the game are winking at us veterans of the Zone that we are at home again. [/spoiler] Good game. Good story. At times, unnerving puzzles.
