15 Single Player Games From the 2000s That Have Aged Really Well

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

With Heart of Chornobyl’s impending release, you might think the chance has gone to revisit its 2007 predecessor. Well, whether you dive in and rush through before Heart’s release or play it afterward, Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is going to be worth it. See, it’s all about the foreboding atmosphere, long periods of brutal isolation pierced by nasty gunfights, Shadow of Chernobyl’s phantasmagorical zone is so dangerous you barely get any respite. It’s combat and visuals have held up well too.
