Far Cry "Pripyat"

Since I hadn't played a Stalker game in a while, I did a full run of vanilla CoP just to warm up the engines. That was a mistake. The devs made a lot of questionable decisions which added to poor writing had me wondering most of the time if I was playing Far Cry "Pripyat". To keep it short I'm only going to talk about gameplay issues and I'm not even going to mention bugs. I'll also ignore some gameplay/story issues, like the million stashes or Stalker Santa leaving tons consumables all over the place or the half hour of unskipable cinematics or the clairvoyant enemies that can shoot through obstacles or the bloodsuckers being bullet sponges for whatever reason or the way they implemented radiation or the lack of binoculars or the lack of night vision or the flashbang anomalies. And don't get me started on the end game. As of version 1.3, what hurts the game the most if the lack of A-Life. They faked it by using a spawn timer in certain places so enemies appear out of thin air within a certain distance so I've had 3 bloodsuckers materialize right in from of me and beat me to death. The second worst issue is the lack of free fast travel. In CoP you can pay a friendly stalker to take you some place, acting as fast travel, but in this one you can only do it via specific NPCs in select locations, turning the whole game into a freaking walking simulator. From my 112 hours I probably spent half just running from point A to point B. There's a lot of stuff I missed in my first playthrough so I want to do another run but right now the game has too many issues so I'll wait a few years and check back to see if they finally implemented A-Life.

Very fun but flawed experience

I have had fun with what I played so far. Immersion in this game is pretty good and the environments look nice. I have only crashed once during my playtime which is around 14 hours at the moment of review. The gameplay is about what I remember from playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R SOC with some extra mechanics added in. With all that said, the reason I am only giving it 3 stars is because of the other issues the game has given me. 1. The game has to cache shaders every launch. Now on most games this isn't a problem as it goes through fairly quickly. However on this particular game it takes about 10 to 15 mins to get to the main menu on each launch of the game. 2. When loading a save, the game will usually have a long loading screen followed by it telling you to press any key to continue. During my playtime if you press any key as soon as it allows you to you will have to stand still for a minute or two longer just to let everything load in around you. 3. Every time I get close to or enter a settlement the game will freeze for around a minute before finally letting me move again. 4. Most of the time when loading a save you will not be able to access your inventory, PDA, weapons, or pause the game until the game is completley loaded in around you (enemies can and will still attack you). 5. There is some pretty bad pop in at certain areas of the game. Structures in the distance can be seen popping in and out of existance as you get closer, clearly trying to load in higher quality models but it doesn't hide it well. There are other issues I have had but those are the biggest ones. Again, I have enjoyed what I have played so far but some of these issues are starting to get very annoying over time. Hopefully they can get these issues fixed soon.

Good god the performance

Missing several features that were present in the original games. Performance is utterly awful. Even on low with FSR was getting some serious lag with AMD 6800XT GPU and 5900X CPU. As many have said, the game doesn't really have A-Life, it's more of a poor imitation of A-Life. I do not believe that the developers will be able to make this an enjoyable game even with future updates. I do not think they are capable of it. I'd love to be proven wrong as STALKER is awesome but I'm not going to be holding my breath for anything good.

Fun, now polished gem

Update: I started playing again after roughly a year and wow ... this is now a different game. All the points I mentioned in the original post have been addressed and so many others added. The walking is sometimes still a lot, but it feels like travelling through an active Zone now with groups of STALKERs fighting mutants or other STALKERs. To the developers: keep up the great work and give me some DLCs! Original Post: I really enjoy the game (6.5hrs in), the atmosphere, the side and main quests. What I do not like is the open world ... or A-Life 2.0. The game just spawns enemies behind you and the wildlife/mutants in the early game are real bulletsponges. Once you dealt with them, have healed again, and reloaded all your weapons - some bandits spawn few meters away in the undergrowth just to open fire at you immediately not giving a damn whether you are behind trees, bushes or kneeling in some gras. Just WHY? And the walkways are quite long ... seeing the whole map, I hope they add a function to wandering, friendly stalkers to fast travel with them to already discovered locations or hubs. Otherwise this will be a running simulator. I had some sound bugs (suddenly stopping atmosphere tracks, radio sound switching to close by sound) and the shadows create sometimes funky visuals. But so far nothing gamebreaking. If the developers fix the issues I can see me changing it to 5/5. At the moment I would say if you are not a hardcore fan, wait a bit.

Sadly refunding.

I almost never refund games. I think between here and steam I've refunded 2. Now, 3. I put almost 20H in to trying to get this game to work properly. I don't have the fastest comp by any stretch but know how to config game settings and what I should get out of hardware. This game, when it works, has so much potential. Game performance however is a complete mess. From my own personal experience combined with forums the game has big VRAM leak issues that require constant re-starting to (temporarily) fix. Areas drop to single digit FPS, re-start game, above 80. But this sometimes needs to be done multiple times in a 20 min play. Close proximity to NPCs seems to worsen this. Other random stutters and drops occur and sometimes correct, but mostly don't. UE5 has some serious issues, but S2 seems to magnify these big time. It's possible as with Cyberpunk that these issues can be overcome. But I have my doubts about the studios capacity to do this. The game should have been delayed signifigantly longer, shit even start a go-fund-me page to finish it, or the studio should have bowed out and passed it on to another developer to finish. It's sad, I feel sympathy for them. But releasing the game in its current state was just the wrong thing to do. I hope I can come back to this game in a year or two, but for now my decision is to not supprt it with money I worked hard to make. I can't reccomend this game to anyone in its current state and it makes me sad.
