Just be in the middle of a battle between two factions, then all of a sudden you hear an echoed "CHEEKI BREEKI" throughout the area, then you feel haunted for the rest of the game, fearing that the next "CHEEKI BREEKI" will be heard again, but this time, much louder, and before you know it, he's right next to you. As he takes out his AK-47 he whispers into your ear "Cheeki..." then guns you down relentlessly as he chugs vodka and yells "CHEEKI BREEKI" into the sunset as an emission is going off.
It's very beautiful. :^)

Can't understand a damn word these Slavs say to me. 10/10 though.

I found a guy named Vadilik Trump

10/10 would make the Zone Great Again

Heard about this game from youtube. Did some research, and bought it on sale in steam. Before I played, I donned the traditional gopnik flat cap and slav squatted for the whole game. I played this game with NO fixes. NO mods. Master difficulty. You drop into the game with a little cinematic, and it looks... EEEEH. You spawn in and these random science gopniks tell you "you should be dead but you're not so get gun and go in swamp ♥♥♥♥♥."

At this point I had no idea what was going on, so I got my gun, and headed into swamp. Instantly, I noticed my main gun had 30 rounds of ammo, and this sets precedent for the entire game. You have NO AMMO. And, to make things worse, all the guns are peashooters that, even with a 1.6x scope, you can't hit a dinner plate from 10 yards.

So the thing that made this game unique was it's AI system and environment. The AI is so cool, fighting it out even when you aren't there. securing the swamp for the science gopniks was easy because they did all the work for me. But as soon as I thought AYYY this isn't as hard as people say, I made it out of the swamp and went to the cordon. This game does not hold your hand. it doesn't tell you "go north to avoid the gun" it says "FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF ♥♥♥♥♥" as I went north, I encountered a squad of Renegades. All I had was a hunting rifle, which is GARBAGE at ranges, and one of them had a Viper 5. It took me 30 minutes to defeat them. this is where you get introduced to your good friends f5 and f9.

F5 quicksaves. You should do this A TON. The game never autosaves, and added onto the difficulty, this can be hell. But if you get past that one squad that you've been fighting after 15 minutes, the feeling is SO GREAT. Skipping ahead, I had arrived at Agroprom, and I joined duty and beat freedom. After that, I headed to the place that enters the Red Forest. that's where the atmosphere really hit me. It's so good looking and fits perfectly. For all this complaining I cannot reccomend this game enough. The game is hard, but it rarely is unfair.



EDIT: After thinking the review over, I am changing my review to an 8/10. This game has some flaws. I haven't tried SOC, but with this game, my hopes could not be higher.

drinking vodka to reduce radiation, seems legit xD

ANUUU CHEEKI BREEKI IV DAMKE

Ending sucked, But its S.T.A.L.K.E.R, So pick it up.

sad thing - bandits dont shout "ah nuu cheeki breeki iv damke" so much and cossack vodka dont make your screen turn so much, but good thing is there is finaly mechanic that can upgrade your weapons , not like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl

The weather forecaster said clear skies.
Returned the game because the skies were not clear.

I played all the stalker games and this one (cheeki) i find the most interesting. I say it is the hardest one out of (breeki) the three but its not bad at all. Very creative how it was made, unlike the other games ♥♥♥♥♥. The A.I are really smart and you can go in balls a blazin and shoot everyone, u will die (iv) just like your love for sidorovich. Bandits mug you n stuff (damke) even if you are on thier team. (Yes you can join almost every faction) Thanks for your tremendous effort in reading this. Remember, always cheeki before you breeki.
