Wind of Time
Main Features:
You play as Demidov, a military man from the future, sent into the past to investigate the Zone's emissions and prevent a catastrophic blowout that threatens the world.
What starts as a straightforward mission soon unravels into an elaborate web of conspiracy, hidden labs, faction conflicts, and moral dilemmas.
Ignoring the time travelling aspect of its premise, Wind of Time brings new lore that could almost be considered canon, with strong ties to the original Shadow of Chernobyl. Engaging side quests, carefully crafted locations, and in the end a deep exploration and reflexion on survival, morality, friendship, and the Zone's true nature.
- + Well-written, engaging story & side quests
- + Balanced economy and progression.
- + Redesigned locations with great atmosphere
- - Optimization issues
- - Weak AI and repetitive enemy spawns
