Built on a much later release of the original’s X-Ray engine, you’ll need a beast of a rig to dial the game up to its higher settings, but it is scaleable enough as to run decently on just about any recent gaming PC. With that said, many consider mods to be essential for any S.T.A.L.K.E.R. It’s also affected by approaching storms and creatures, adding another level of usefulness. When it was first released in 2015, Call of Chernobyl placed 9th in the Player's Choice category and received an Editor's Choice award. A lot of the time, they were working from old screenshots and more to recreate these areas. It's more that it asks a lot of the player in terms of preparation, survival and time. These mods are similar to Corrupted mods in the sense that there is a catch to the bonus provided by the mod. And then then do the same with the database files and add them to that folder.
Vanilla CoC is quite boring, and that is how I played it when it was first released.
