The game should also feature day and night cycles, which should not only add to the realism but also create more varied graphics and a more interesting and intense game play. I never thought I could apply the word 'beautiful' to a grim-looking Chernobyl-based mutant-infested first-person shooter such as this, but this is a fact - I actually caught myself staring at the evening sky and scorched grass. Judging from what we've seen of the game so far, the game features some realistic and detailed character and weapon models, and the environment is rendered beautifully, with striking detail and color palette.
