I have always enjoyed games that explored the whole Chernobyl aftermath and some of the mysteries behind this disaster. This survival sci-fi horror looks pretty good so far in early access on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1016800/Chernobylite/

Looks interesting. 🙂
I am sure you know about it already, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R The Lost Alpha has been available for free on Mod DB for a good while now. Its seen updates too and is much improved over the old Stalker game.
And here for a trailer..
I haven't got back to stalker since I lost my saves, but when I was playing I had the 'The Lost Alpha' mod installed and it improved the base game greatly and that was like 4+ years ago I had that loaded so I would be interested to see it now. That video you posted shows a lot of good things, I have to get back to the STALKER series since thats another one I haven't completed all the way through yet.
Not sure how much of Chernobylite's gameplay is going to be like STALKER but if they do make it like STALKER they could have a sleeper hit, especially if you do mods like 'The Lost Alpha' mod too it in the future.
I wish I could retire and then I could play games more 🙂
