S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Cost of Hope Reviews
Cost of Hope then adds another good reason to return. The new areas are interesting, the conflict between Duty and Freedom fits well within the series, and there is enough new content to spend quite a few hours in the Zone again. It is just a shame that the quests still so often require walking huge distances without always offering enough in return. All in all, this is a clear improvement over STALKER 2 at release. Not groundbreaking, not suddenly a completely different game, but a much more stable and beautiful version with a substantial expansion. Those who liked the original will find just enough new reasons here to return.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope is a fitting expansion for a game that has been getting better and better with time. Even though it has some minor flaws here and there, I feel it was time well spent and an excellent addition for anyone starting or continuing their adventures in the Zone.

If you haven't played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, this is the perfect time to jump in. Version 2.0 is a massive upgrade. The expansion is seamlessly blended into the progression of the story, and it is fantastic.
