Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl promised a terrifying, atmospheric, and deeply immersive experience in the irradiated Zone. What it delivered was a buggy, frustrating, and ultimately underwhelming imitation of its predecessors. The much-hyped next-gen graphics, while occasionally impressive, are frequently marred by jarring pop-in, inconsistent textures, and an overall unpolished
The game is exactly what we were waiting for. It does have some bugs, but they are enjoyable unlike those we had in Cyberpunk at the launch.
Also, keep in mind that there is a paid campaign to decrease the score of this game just because it's Ukrainian. Don't let
The first thing I want to write is that I'm 39 years old and I burst into tears the first time I launched the game.
This is an unrivaled experience of atmosphere, realism, lore, and game mechanics. It is necessary to realize that this game cannot be evaluated fairly, because it
Optimisation is lacking. Technical state of the game is pretty bad, but if fixed (and mod community already fixed a lot of issues with it) the game is really good. Guns feel quite good, graphics are nice, weather is stunning and atmosphere is unmatched.
- The funny thing is that I was ready to close my eyes to a lot of things as a fan of the series, but stalker literally as a game is a mediocre generic shooter, which was finished on the knee with the help of AI.
The game is the emptiest,
Lots of bugs, poor optimization, but despite all this, playing in Stalker 2 is very interesting and the game does not let go of more than a hundred hours.
Super immersive. Sound and music are great! Graphics! Strongly recommend!
The game as a whole is disappointing considering the time it took to develop. It is raw, unoptimized, with significant flaws in game mechanics and the game world in general.
Truly beautiful world and weapon graphics don't make up for everything else. Boring shootouts with ballistics from the early 90s,
Horrible optimisation, huge amount of bugs, textures flicker and overlap, it hurts your eyes. Mutants appear so that you can't even hear them, and people appear behind your back. And this I only played for 7 minutes! I'm afraid to imagine what's gonna happen next. I know that they say
a game from 2007 transferred to UE5. A complete failure and disrespect to players. Played 40+ hours.
Have some bugs, need some putches, but it is gold. Clear gold - and it will shine!
The сontinuation of a legendary game, already almost 25 hours played, and I'm thrilled!
One of the most atmospheric and beautiful games i played, thank you GSC
