Playing some STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007). I've owned this game for a very long time, but never got very far because of its difficulty. Having recently played some other challenging shooters like Rust, I thought I'd try again to compare - and this time I progressed a lot faster.

It's sort of an open-world FPS-RPG, except it seems you only progress loot-wise. You get quests to rescue/fight people/creatures and find items/stashes/bodies, which can be turned in for money and/or items.

Screenshot: A hooded man stands guard over a camp of men sitting around a fire. Behind them are derelict vehicles, and in the distance are trees, hills, and defunct electrical lines.

This area of the game is called simply "Garbage".

There is a minimap in the upper-right corner, and character status information in the bottom corners.
