Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl worth playing today?

With S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 starting to show itself a little more, I figured it was time to explore the first game in the series again. I apologize for how dark the game is, I tried my best to crank the brightness without it being ridiculous on my end.
