Stalker 2 is an insanely infuriating disaster that tries to sell itself as a fully finished game, when in reality the state the game is in feels like it's in early access, if not an Alpha. If you're a fan of Stalker 1, and are wondering whether or not you should give this game a try, because you want to feel that emotion of playing Stalker, except a modernized version with improvements over the first games, then …

I was just a kid when I first played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl. I still remember coming back from school, rushing to my PC just to explore the Zone. I would sit by campfires with NPCs, listening to them talk in a language i couldn’t understand. I tried to imagine what their stories were about, while guitars played and the fire crackled. I didn’t need to understand the words, the atmosphere said everything. …

I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and honestly, most of them make valid points. This is a game people waited over a decade for, so expectations were always going to be high. Starting with the negatives: The game is massive—both figuratively and literally. It takes up around 160GB, and being built on Unreal Engine 5, it’s pretty demanding. You’ll need a beefy PC to run it …

Entered underground, fought mutant rats, almost got mugged by gopniks, exited underground, drank vodka to cleanse my organism, got overcharged by a local trader, almost got mugged again. After all that I got back home and played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, it was good! Living in NYC is tough

neutral · AI labelView post →[Rant incoming] Let me just preface that I did not expect a miracle, I haven't played Stalker 2 Since its initial release, which in terms of performance and bugs, was an "ordeal" to say the least. Over the years now I've seen it receive countless updates and bugfixes so I figured it would be a good time to jump into the zone again to get a more stable and consistent immersive stalker experience. So I downloaded the update, purchased the DLC and started a new Save. After about 7 hours, I've…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update 2.0 fixed nothing, just a new paint job... Enemies still shoot you through thick brush with insane accuracy. The world is still empty, you will be just ambling from A to B and you still move like a snail and need to constantly chug energy drinks and water just to able to run for more than 10 seconds. The economy is still useless.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the game at launch. At launch it was an unoptimized blurry mess, riddled with bugs and devoid of detail or any resemblance of a soul if you will. At launch the game felt like a technical test with most of the features and world detail still missing. I now gave the game a second chance when patch 1.6 finally came out. The game is still a blurry unoptimized mess. It feels like the devs wanted to showcase all the problems of sloppy UE5 rendering with zero optimization. The game doesn't…

Cutting-edge technology nobody has those in games! 1 year and 5 months of waiting before writing this review. I’ll start with something simple so people who want to buy this game don’t fall into the same trap I did. The starting area is great — the game begins really strong. But the longer you play, the more obvious it becomes that the whole thing is held together with duct tape and the mindset of “we’ll…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beautiful game completely dragged down by a broken engine that no amount of patching seems able to fix. Frame gen and DLSS are great tools—I get it—but they’re supposed to enhance performance, not be the only reason your $2000 PC doesn’t choke trying to run the game. I bought this day one knowing I had to be patient. It’s a massive open-world game with 100+ hours of content, so yeah—issues at launch were expected. But the total lack of communication and constant delays from the devs? That’s…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1,5 years after release it's still nowhere near where it should be to deliver an experience like the old games did. Pros: - It's Stalker: Atmospheric unique setting in a mysterious and thrilling open world - sadly that's it Cons: - Performance is bad. It's unoptimized UE5 and eats hardware like it's nothing - Localization: English only (and in this case Ukranian) is a poor trend - AI/NPCs: Alife 2.0 promised at release is still, well, nowhere near where the old games were to make a friendly…

I know this series, and I know exactly why people loved it. And what we got here is not a tribute. This game feels mediocre at best. There is no respect for longtime fans and no visible analysis of what made the original games special. No understanding of old mechanics, no nostalgia triggers, no attempt to preserve the systems that defined S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I highly warn against buying this product. Maybe if you're really into the STALKER story. It's still riddled with bugs, dying randomly by enemies through walls really ruins your immersion. The economy is absolutely broken, it doesn't take much to become an 1%'er in this game. Items are distributed randomly and without a thought. You'll find 20x bread and vodka in a single village. The worst part is their egregious lie about Alife 2. What made STALKER great was that the world was actually alive…

Guess I'll wait for patch 2.0 or Stalker 2: G.A.M.M.A. Quick rundown: - Enemies popping up behind your back. Hallucinations are understandable, mutants and bandits are not - Trees look quite ugly & texture popping even with max settings - Horrible pricing of repairs. Manageable if you play well enough, still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to pay 8k to fix 10% of my suit…

Facts first: the game was developed under some f***d up circumstances and some of the publisher’s team members sadly perished during said events. My condolences to the families and the team. With that said, I will keep this 100% objective and fair. Always. S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chernobyl is a FPS Survival Story driven title which continues on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Updated for the ''2.0 uPdAtE'' When you call something ''2.0'' it means, that you've either rebuilt it from the ground up or reworked it to the point that it's unrecognisable - however, what we got was a bug fix with a DLC drop, that was hyped up across the media as ''this is what Stalker 2 was meant to be'' You want a good example of 2.0 done right ? Cyberpunk 2077 or No Man's sky. These games really delivered on their promises and turned around the mess they were in and became amazing.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Giving a negative review to a Stalker game as a 17 year fan hurts like hell, yet still...Game was in a disastrous state at launch, yet somehow all the patches only made it completely unplayable. As of 1.8, the game is in a state of absolute mess, enemies shoot and throw objects through entire buildings for months now and none of the developers want to do anything about it. (spoiler) The fight with Scar is completely broken and ruined the whole game for me. At the very end, after months of grind…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's aight. It does feel repetitive to explore the same looking locations for 2 mags of ammo and a sausage all the time. The story is cool but it does feel off being forced to progress the main quest in order to unlock more exploration. It feels like the game doesn't know which kind of game it wants to be. The AI is atrociously bad. Like, I wasn't even into this franchise before this game and I can confidently say that it's one of the worst AI systems I've ever seen, both for monsters and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I genuinely don't see the appeal of this game because it doesn't feel or play like any of the other stalker games. Just Play CoP or Clear Sky Gameplay is terrible. No matter how much armor or how good your equipment is you are still going to die and kill things more or less the exact same. Armor has a hidden cap so no matter what on the Stalker difficulty you are still going to die to things in about 4-8 hits with maxed out armor and artifacts so it forces you to play like a rat to get…

A masterpeice holding some of the most genuine…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, the game is good. The graphics are nice, there is a decent variety of weapons, although I really dislike the fact that damage seems to depend more on the weapon itself rather than the actual caliber. The biggest problem, however, is the NPC AI. It is absolutely terrible. Probably the worst AI in the entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, and honestly one of the worst examples of NPC behavior I have seen in any game. For example, you can see an entire squad of NPCs walking next to an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very difficult recommend... Let's start with what I liked: The atmosphere and the feel of the world is mostly amazing. Gunplay is great, every weapon has it's own properties and weight to it and even various customizations. The "management" part is also okay, although you don't need to eat or sleep that often, unless you're just chugging 40 energy drinks to get to your destination. Fast travel is not very convenient so you're encourage to explore everywhere on foot, which means you have to…

I can imagine a version of Stalker 2 down the road, after more patches, that just about warrants a thumbs up, but right now I am so much more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look, I'm a huge fan of the Stalker franchise, but this one... no. I tried. I genuinely tried to like this game, but the world is flat and the story progression is just boring. After 26 hours, I've pretty much seen what the game has to offer. I didn't encounter any bugs, so if that's the only thing stopping you from buying the game, then go ahead.
