Don't be too worried about difficulty, either unlike the notoriously cruel MISERY, Dead Air starts off gentle. Give the mod-review below a peek and you'll have a solid idea if Dead Air is up your alley. I could spend ages telling you about all the impressive things that Dead Air does, but YouTube channel Al's Gaming already said nearly everything I'd want to. Built on top of the fan-upgraded OpenXRay engine and using Call of Chernobyl's massive world map, it offers an uncompromising but accessible survival sandbox that looks good and runs better than any similarly huge S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Dead Air is a standalone mega-mod (no purchase necessary) for bleak FPS sandbox series S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is still years away so here's a banquet of irradiated exploration and scavenging to tide you over.
