Dull, as usual, something unfinished. If before I started playing after a year and a half, then I took the risk right away, in vain. We'll have to wait at least a year. I’m silent about the Russian voice acting, I can speak English fluently, but the brakes are darkness. The interface is complete, nothing is clear, nothing can be configured. The bugs are wild, half of them are impossible to view on individual settings. It takes half an hour to load on the launcher, although other games run on the same engine. Damn, they made a “call of Pripyat”, almost without bugs, now again it’s dull, slow crap. Making the game more complicated is not a problem, they did it, they added more complications, but there is no way to make it playable at all. Even though I’m a fan of the series, it’s unrealistic… Read full

If it weren't for the mistakes and gross omissions, I would definitely give it 9/10. Very beautiful, but the atmosphere is not like in the first part. Still interesting.

What can I say here? Just the thought that this is STALKER is already breathtaking. I consider it a sister city of Metro, so I have no doubt that the game will bring me pleasure. I don’t know what the developers will prepare for us in the end, but I think that we can expect an exceptionally excellent product. And there are no other thoughts. I’m waiting and want to put on my raincoat as soon as possible and go through the new and, I guess, old nooks and crannies of Pripyat.

I liked the game. Of course, not without flaws, especially at the start. But you won’t frighten the real stalker) huge territories, which was not enough before, there are recognizable places from past games, which you come across as if suddenly and it is impressive, seamless locations, rather complex monsters, people who are also not helpless blades, can surprise , recycled anomalies, a fairly long plot, a lot of side tasks.

of obvious disadvantages for me: expensive repairs/upgrade, a huge number of slurred artifacts, a clearly unfinished hunger system, a strange balance of weapons, an X -ray vision of opponents and excess accuracy (you barely see them through the bushes, and they are hollowed without a scatter).

For now I only recommend it as a fan. When a lot of things are corrected, everything else can be corrected.

The game is a good plot worked out, but the gradins are not involved, the Bosphate on the arc is very lagalo, often a frieze script and blocking the plot promotion or still similar Prex.

I recommend. The game is beautiful like the plot, the dialogs are ideal especially if you know Ukrainian and calmly treat mats (or even humor). Plot turns and cut-scene are gorgeous. But there are also disadvantages: on my PC (RTX 3050 and Intel Core i5) during average settings of graphics, transitions through portals/ conductors/ loading/ uploads have been loaded for a long time and there were departures, but for the sake of the plot and beauty you can tolerate, if you do not have patience, then download cheats for the super -run differently (but for the open game with mods of the most), some mutants, some mutants Not killed from the word at all (more than 50 shots almost close from the shotgun on the pseudo giant in the head). But despite all the people really tried and you can see why they made the game for so long

Stalker is exactly the game that infected me with its atmosphere. The entire trilogy of this masterpiece was completely completed by me and researched almost to every grain of sand, and you know what I want to say? This is GREAT! This game simply does not allow you to escape into the real world because the further you go, the more interesting and addictive the game becomes! It’s like you’re falling into a deep hole from which you don’t want to get out, because the environment is fascinating and as you explore it deeper and deeper, the environment becomes more and more beautiful. The second part, which true fans are waiting for to this day, leaves hope that every stalker will find what he was looking for. I'm no exception! I can already imagine myself, in a stalker’s overalls with an AKM in… Read full

This is exactly the S.t.A.L.K.E.R.2, which we all have been waiting with excitement! And he justified all our hopes and hopes! GSC - Bravo! You succeeded! You didn't disappoint us! The most important thing preserved is the atmosphere of the game, the plot is so thoughtful and twisted that sometimes on the skin of the hair becomes, puzzles and quests - masterpieces and all this against the background of unsurpassed graphics! Therefore, it is not surprising why the game paid off for the first day of its release, the most important indicator is the love and affection of players from all over the world and it has only increased after the game! Thank you for the dream, she came to life!)

The game at first glance is ok, but when you start going through the missions you find a lot of bugs + they charge 59 bucks for the game. Let’s say you’re Elon Musk and you don’t care about the price, let’s put aside the bugs, then the game is normal except that before you start the mission you have to make sure that you have health, food, water, an incomplete gun, an additional gun, incomplete armor, etc. If you go through a mission and you run out of heals or ammo, be kind enough to drop half a map to the seller, buy heals and throw a bolt at the anomaly like the Stalker developers, but that’s fine :)

The game is very cool, I really like the world of stalker. Of course, not without its jambs, but not critical. I think this will be fixed quickly. Graphics, abundance of vegetation and objects, simply top

The plot of the game is great, the side missions are very well done. The game has many disadvantages, such as the lack of NVGs and a critical lack of content in parts of the map remote from the initial locations, but taking into account the enormous speed of releasing patches and the fact that the development team, as soon as it finishes fixing bugs, is preparing to move on to filling the game with content, and also taking into account the fact that Most of the bugs have already been fixed, I give it a 10.

We have been waiting for this game for so long! The breasts saw her for so long! And what do we have in the end?! The terribly obsolete poker in which is not enough, there are few arts, few mutants, few anomalies, there is no quick movement. You stupidly wander through the forests and sometimes shoot at Bandos. Yes, you can play, but buy it ... Firing ...

The review was written while the game was still in development.

The main feature of the PM is its non-rail nature. If the same Far Cry can only be “passed through”, then in the TC the world of the zone really lives (well, not counting the crashes, but by 1.0005 they were practically absent from the basic plot). And yes, if some quest cannot be completed because someone died in the Zone, this is NORMAL, this is a living world, and not an interactive movie like CoD4. But in CN they screwed it up, there is only a linear plot. For a more fun game, you need to make the gulags less clear (say, a pack of monsters hangs out within a given area, but they may go out to get prey or vice versa out of fear), make the “run fast and shoot a lot” tactic a losing one (enemies are great at knocking down the runner, and dogs are catching up) and add intelligence to the N… Read full

The weak middle peasant, or rather, happened the same as from the Cyberpunk 2077, it seems that the game made 1.5 - 2 years, in short, the essence is that since the announcement and almost before the exit, the game did not exist, I hope the GSC will look at the CDPR and fix everything Like a fan of PM, CH and ZP, I hope and wait.

Well what can I say. Stalker has the status of a cult game. Even years later, tears come to my eyes from the anomalies, artifacts, groupings and “don’t linger.” It is absolutely impossible to predict what the second part will be like. We can only hope that under the yoke of “toxic” gamers and modern trends, Stalker 2 will not break and will remain a game for gamers - stalkers, not gamers - to shoot mutants. Are you smart?

I don’t know how much they will change the gameplay and style. But I hope the atmosphere will remain the same. I recommend the game without a doubt. Looking forward to the release)

Bugs, lags, shnyags, dumb, sticking and much more. Huge, atmospheric, beautiful, but completely empty world. Between the plot tasks pass the "years", you already forget where and why went. There are no side tasks from the word at all. And those that are in 90 percent or buggy or are executed in 2 minutes behind the next angle. A bunch of weapons and armor, equally useless, you essentially use the whole game 1-2 guns. It is impossible to carry a large weight, it is impossible to take a diverse arsenal with it, because the place needs to be dragged tons of trash for sale in order to pay for the repair of equipment for unrealistic money. He shot 10 times and flew into a couple of thousand coupons. I’m not saying that any bandit with a way or PM is falling you from 200 meters through all the b… Read full

As a fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series I was overjoyed when this game came out on PC, however there are some things to be aware of, namely the 'compiling shader cache' at every start that often fails, and some game breaking bugs — luckily there are some clever folks out there that have solutions to the ones I have encountered so far! If they can fix the shader compilation glitch, and if it was the original voice actors from Clear Sky/Call of Pripyiat days then I might even give it a 10, but until then it's still too buggy to rate higher.
