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

A wonderful, masterpiece! Bugs and such garbage as the balance of the economy are all fleeting and will be fixed, it’s like cutting a diamond, which is what the game is essentially. In general, the project is top, the stalker we were waiting for.

Great game, haters gonna hate. All the good things were preserved and increased. I wish I could fix the bugs...

There is no Russian voice acting :(, but the game is quite good, there are some disadvantages, there are bugs, low FPS, but in principle, Stalker is famous for the fact that modmakers are finishing Stalker, wait another 2 months, you can fully play and beat the game,

But still the Stalker Trilogy will be better than new). The developers did a great job. Thanks to them for such creations))

Finally, there is a game that leaves indelible impressions on the soul. This is exactly what I wanted all these years after the release of the last stalker, even despite all the bugs. This game can be forgiven for all the childish mistakes of the developers. I'm glad that there is no Russophobia in the game.

But thank God, the developers have common sense. It’s a little strange, of course, to hear language from Sidorovich, but after several hours of playing it practically doesn’t bother me. Almost everything is clear, it can be done without captions. I give this game the highest score, it is definitely the game of the year, perhaps the game of the last decade.

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

In principle, I liked the game, but it still comes down to optimization; in principle, there is enough content there, the mutants are tough, and even the flesh let me smoke)

I'm a fan of the stalker series, and especially the Monolith group. I've been waiting for this game since 2014, and now it's released and I'm disappointed, they've been making it for so many years and in the end they threw a piece of shit onto the market that wasn't finished, fortunately the modders fixed a lot of things. In general, the game is not bad, but the plot is kind of strange, the game has a large number of lags in the initial location, later on in the game it gets better, there are lags but not like in the first location, the most incomprehensible thing here is the weight of the backpack is small, there is an empty zone from the word Absolutely, there are a lot of artifacts, ammunition and equipment do not change in the assortment as in previous parts - for example, in previous … Read full

I really enjoyed the game. The atmosphere of the series was conveyed more than well, the picture, the plot, the side effects, the dialogues, the feeling of that same stalker. I liked everything. The computer runs without problems on Epic Full HD. I especially liked the inserts with cinematics! Well done GSC, you did it. I’m playing happy that PPC. It was not in vain that I waited.

PS: I won’t talk about bugs, there are plenty of them in any game, the main thing is to fix the game.

plays nicely. I downloaded it a week after the game was released on Steam. played on 1080, Ryazan 7 3700x and 32 gig oprah. There were no drops in FPS at high settings, but during boss fights I periodically watched a slide show. Otherwise, I hope that in a year everything will be corrected and it will be possible to fly into it again with both legs.

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

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.

An intrigued atmosphere reigns everywhere. You can't relax for a minute. In buildings, houses, bunkers, you can constantly hear rustling sounds, tense sounds, something falling in place, holding it together. You have to look around and look at your feet: is there a stretch here? The game is very full. You enter the house, and the situation there is as if it had been left just a couple of minutes ago. Good, lively, uncensored communication (but without going overboard) with the NPC. I play on max settings. Graphics 4+. Doesn't fly out and doesn't slow down. There are bugs! This needs to be fixed! Although I'm still 100% satisfied.

I came in, the continuation of the series is worthy!

The atmosphere and the world around is simply bombic;)

Pretty interesting plot, graphics.

Who complains of brakes and friezes is time to upgrade iron.

After the third patch, playing became more comfortable. There are no crashes and bugs that were encountered almost at every step. I went through the game 2 times, the first time honestly, and the second time with the developer console (Cheats), I found out that the game has several endings, I saw only two, I plan to go through the game for the third time, but doing 100% of the tasks, and not like that as I did at the beginning, I ran through the plot.

The game is excellent, but only 8/10 because I immediately had to put mods for optimization (why compile the shaders every time the PC configuration and the settings of the graphics did not change) and the rebalass. Well, because the rate of fire of the gun can not be the same as that of a submachine gun. And it really looks strange when the enemy is aground on the player, even being behind the wall, on another floor or dense thickets. Or when the player sitting on the roof falls more efficiently from the shotgun than the player from the assault with an eye.

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.

I would put 10 games. But for the technical component he would put a unit.

At 4060 Ti slows down in 2K up to 40 FPS. Pixel looks without smoothing (the question of how they made a graph. It is clear that DLSS must be turned on). And constantly dark. A bright day passes very quickly.

Despite all the shortcomings, I'm happy with the game. The atmosphere is there, large maps, just like I wanted, clear anomalies.

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).
