The last item on our list, STALKER, is a game that was developed based on research. The zone has an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers and was divided into several small places: Cordon, Dark Valley, Agroprom, Red Forest, Pripyat. The study of individual areas was limited to powerful enemies and deadly anomalies. An interesting fact was that the city of Pripyat and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where the final stage of the game is taking place, were precisely based on real locations.

The STALKER action takes place in Chernobyl, the location of the infamous nuclear power plant. As a result of a mysterious catastrophe, the sarcophagus created around the damaged reactor suddenly exploded. Precipitation killed most of the living things in the vicinity, and the polluted area continued to grow. A special commission began to notice many dangerous anomalies in the area. Expeditions that entered the zone reported the spread of anomalies and progressive corruption due to radioactive contamination, but no one dared to risk going deeper than a few kilometers into the zone. In 2012, the zone began to attract volunteers, Stalkers, who traveled deeper into the zone and were able to find various artifacts.
