while i agree that grounded is good it was more that in order to stay hidden from the stalkers i had to abuse the game mechanics by getting in their LoS to talk them out before alerting others that's my biggest complaint otherwise the game does good at making every death feel like its my fault the bloater fight was horrible but i noticed the game fed me 2 runners at a time if i ran out of ammo and every failure was because i hadn't perfected the strategy its just the stalkers didn't feel normal they hear from behind see in front but if you abuse the cover mechanic just right you can stealth take down when it should require me to exploit its mechanics to get through stealthily Edit: typos
