This series is fantastic and more specifically this game is a masterpiece. It has an incredible world and is dripping with atmosphere, an incredible plot with great payoff with an enormous amount to theorise and dwell on, great story missions, a couple decent side quests and a HUGE amount of replayability with or without mods. To get a bit more specific on the story, it is exactly what I wanted from a game like this. Some of the characters are very interesting and have a wealth of backstory with great missions to give you and all culminate in a great mystery. Not to mention the AI is amazing and the progression is great and the world building is amazing. I CANT STOP I MUST STALK

Best post-apocalyptic shooter ever and it gets even better with one of two mods.
Xpress tuning remaster ultimate as a simple modification of the game that fixes bugs and makes it look better and is 100% faithful.
Then there's Gunslinger adaptation mod which overhauls the gunplay and adds thirst, hunger and psy mechanics. but keeps the story and levels 100% faithful making it a go to for a second playthrough.
This game is utterly fantastic

make sure you do both options with a completely fresh install after having loaded the game to the title screen once
and dont install both at the same time

Follow this exact tutorial with the steam version of the game. It is simply wizardy and I hope it works for you.
