All reviews S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

The feeling of a new generation of the universe - the new STALKER engine, yes. Definitely noticeable. Open world. A slight feeling of such charisma - 2 in one, Stalker + Far Cry5). But the game still needs to be patched up and patched up. Therefore, I cannot give an exact assessment. I'm waiting for the results of the updates.

What do I think about Stalker 2? I think that the wrong people are involved in the development; they have already stated that there will be no battle royale, although it will be a good investment and online in the form of a battle royale will look more logical than the same team battle. The atmosphere of a stalker is difficult to convey and to be honest, I don’t believe in GSG that they can handle it, but I hope so that stalker 2 will not be the failure of the decade.

I really liked the first game, our compatriots didn’t let us down, they made a good game, and these stalker jokes are legendary. In general, I'm waiting for the second part

I hope that stalker 2 will be the best part of the series and will incorporate the best aspects of other games from GSC.

I'm expecting tons of weapons, mutants, new graphics

There is no need to change the atmosphere, the game is already very light, pleasant and sometimes scary

You can add several endings at once, like in TC

eee it will be a masterpiece from GSC Game World, there will probably be a lot of weapons, mutants and new characters, Sidorovich's crazy prices :D

The game was created unreasonably not for long, while there was still a bunch of bugs on the release, and it still remains, two full months after the release.

graphics, frankly, was not pleased at all. 2015 level, if not older.

shooting from many types of weapons is felt some kind of wooden.

Короче, Григорович подвёл, но я все равно ставлю относительно высокую оценку, ибо сюжет весьма неплох, атмосфера того самого Сталкера присутствует.

A clear midjress that does not particularly pull on the continuation of the cult trilogy of a stalker.

A rather monotonous walking simulator. There is no night vision, it is very dull at night. And the change of day and night happens very quickly

An unoptimized, buggy piece of code. Yes, it makes you nostalgic for the old stalkers, it’s fun to shoot guns, but it’s impossible to play.

Stalker is a game with an interesting storyline, I really like it, maybe because of childhood memories, I also hope that everyone’s favorite Sidorovich will be there and for some reason I think that the game will not be released soon(

It seems to me that this game will never come out, but if it does, we will get something like cyberpunk: something very cool and something that will be on the Steam charts for at least another 5-6 years, but with a bunch of bugs.

Hmmm, it would be better if Stalker 2 came out as originally planned, in 2012. Look, now everyone would be waiting for the fourth part

Honestly, I’m waiting, but I’ll go to my grave before it comes out, not in some demos, but in full. Yes, I consider it a cult, since I saw the USSR myself, and there was no “metro” lying around, despite I’m replaying the abundance of mods that have been done over the past years on an already ancient graph. I would like to believe, of course, that before leaving for another world I will still be able to bring down the bloodsucker in the new version, but my hopes are fading, along with the passing years of my life...)))

Why we love S.T.A.L.K.E.R

- Atmosphere of the zone

- Heartfelt songs + jokes from Stalker

For all bugs (well, almost everything) one might say - "a damn anomaly"

As a child, I played all parts of STALKER several times, then various modifications that improved various components of the game, I looked forward with impatience and fear to the continuation of this cult series, there were many fears, starting with whether the atmosphere for which it was so loved would remain, ending with that the game will be similar to another, very good modification called “STALKER 2”

But after launching the game and having spent several dozen hours in it, I can confidently say that this is a completely new game in the series, which retained the atmosphere, became even more gloomy, which gives the same emotions as in childhood, exactly the same fear in the dungeons and the same lamp atmosphere in the evening at the stalker's fire

Added a choice on the basis of which the … Read full

They are writing a masterpiece, I didn’t catch something. Fierce shootouts, they exist, but somehow they don’t look like real ones, because a bullet and MP5 cannot penetrate a concrete block FPS! Enemies spawn behind your back. If there is an NPC and a Utant, then they jointly rush at the antagonist. Hiding places, it feels like the local stalkers have no valuables other than to devour. I don’t know why, but sometimes my FPS crashes, even though the laptop meets the recommended requirements, even the coolers don’t spin at full power. There are bugs with completing some quests. So the game is still far from a masterpiece, but there is potential. I'll wait for the gentlemen modders to bring the game to mind.

I feel that changing the engine will have a bad effect on the feelings of players who remember Stalker from its cardboard graphics (IMHO). And so... I'm waiting for the return of the legend like a father from prison.

You can’t put a product of this quality on the market while saying that everything is optimized and works great. GSC constantly lies and engages in outright hackwork, which is already the second product of similar quality, it’s not for nothing that many users have the feeling that when they play the second stalker, they are playing the first part, which was wrapped in a new shell called Unreal Engien 5. So think for yourself head and draw conclusions!

Who isn't looking forward to this game? If it is as the developers say, it will be a breakthrough in the gaming industry, even if it was announced in 17-18 (then transfers, etc.), in general, it’s a cyberpunk story, but I think that they will check everything carefully , they’ll take a look, and there won’t be any technical glitches, and you won’t have to wait for a bunch of patches to play normally

The stalker became a brutal shooting to the detriment of the atmosphere and philosophicality of the first three parts. There are a lot of inevitable killings of people, which depreciates the so -necessary humanism and good now (sorry for the banality, but the children play). Niichaz is clearly from another game and the world, very spoils the feeling of reality of the plot. Expert game mechanics are not finalized by 30%. First of all, I would like to globally reduce the illogical respue from nowhere to appear NPS and monsters, which prevents the GG from exploring the zone, as well as reduce in the game the level of oversiddened hostility, including the weather ("what were sunsets/dawn on amber"). Despite the diverse relief of the zone, the feeling of uniformity, oversaturation of artisanal vegetation, soil of soil and lack of grass does not leave.

It’s interesting that 5 years have passed since the beginning of the creation of Stalker 2, what kind of graphics and gameplay should be in order to work on one game for 5 years. I'm waiting for this game to come out...

I played a month after the release (so now the situation may be better or worse). The game looks quite nice, the weapons are felt, the cutscenes are well directed... But there were three things because of which I abandoned the playthrough in anticipation of improvements: Optimization (somewhere every 10 minutes the FPS dropped to five and it was fixed by restarting the game), the economy (things are expensive, and the loot was small)... and of course Endurance (earlier the locations were not too big, but in the new part, even without overloading by weight, you will be exhausted running around the huge Chernobyl Exclusion Zone)... I like the core of the game itself, but stuffy elements need to be reduced and optimization and scripts in the tasks need to be fixed
