Sweet to see the Zone looking sharper than ever—those upgraded textures and lighting should make creeping through Pripyat even more unnerving. Fingers crossed the performance tweaks smooth things out, because even anomalies shouldn’t cause frame drops.

Nice to see the Stalker trilogy getting some love with these modern upgrades—those atmospheric vibes deserve the extra polish. Though I hope they iron out those performance hiccups, because nothing kills immersion like a choppy frame rate in the Zone.
