Greetings Stalkers,

I was curious if we had any fans of titles inspired by S.T.A.L.K.E.R. that have popped up over the years.

I have been slowly checking them out (especially the free to play ones) like Anomaly Zone, Stay Out, and I just found out about a single player title called Withstand.

From what I have been able to gather online (please correct me if needed as this may be wrong) it looks like Stalker Online went through a name change to Stay Out (understandable copyright issue) and I've played Stay Out for a while - I like the amount of polish it has but frankly I enjoy a consistent first person experience (Like Metro), even though the first person aim is most appreciated.

Anomaly Zone seems to be the most like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. right off the start - I think it has mostly to do with the first person perspective, the environments and art style.

Withstand like I said I just found out about (and is single player!) but it's early access and I wanted to do some feedback hunting before I bit the Early Access bullet.

I also came across "Will To Live Online" which while looking nice I fear may be too frustrating for me if it involves heavy survival elements (feeding, etc) on top of the chance to be PK'ed by a PvP'er at any time.

Has anyone played any of these? Would you mind to share your thoughts and opinion? :)
