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

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 is truly a unique product. For many years, I have been looking for a game that can at least slightly tighten and give the same emotions as a stalker. METRO tried, but it was not an open universe. That's why for so many years people around the world have been creating add-ons and custom builds for the first parts of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on their own. The secret of the game is simple - to give a sandbox as close to reality as possible, to give an interesting story, a lot of real weapons, to add mysticism and to do it with love for the product, which you can't help but feel when you immerse yourself in this universe. A great and simple balance - you need to prepare for each mission (repair weapons and armor, pick up the right ammo, calculate your weight, and stock up on energy). Everything depends on you, and no one is bothering you with timing or advice on how to play the game. No other game can give you complete freedom of action and a sense of the peculiarity of everything you collect during the game. When you find a rifle and customize it for yourself, you take care of it, repair it, and feel that it is your weapon that will save you the next time you go to collect an artifact. No other game can give you that. Thanks to the developers! Glory to Ukraine!
