This game is brilliant in so many ways and it has a lot of promise in it's universe, gameplay and mechanics. But so far it's more like an unpolished diamond of sorts.
It's playable without much problems, but sometimes you have to find a way how to make something work. Some quest are broken and there are lot of other issues, smaller or bigger problems and glitches present.
But other than that it's a wonderful sometimes even breathtaking game. If you are a survival fan, just go for it with some patience here and there.
If you want a polished expirience, wait a few months and/or install bunch of mods.
The original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games became cult classics due to their unique depressing atmosphere and a world that truely felt alive.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is following in it's predecessors footsteps. The depressing atmosphere is felt everywhere in it's huge open world.
The game does still have bugs, but the developers have released multiple big patches.
If GSC continues to improve on the base game this will be a game I will replay for many years to come!
i cant even say words that arnt even bad what the f is wrong with our planet man i thought gog was good and this game doesnt even have a simple mech like vaulting hard pass refund
As the title states. There are both hidden, and hard coded keys which you cannot rebind on the keyboard or your mouse. And even if you did. They are broken and will not respond to their new commands. This is terrible. Even the old trilogy didnt have this issue at all. C.mon GSC!!! Were not in 1995 anymore!!!! Were about to be in 2025!!! Fully rebindable keybindings should have been the first topic of your alpha Q & A!!! I'd give this a negative 5 stars if i could figure out how to do that here. Sadly I cannot.
If you are one of those people that played the old S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy at the day those games released, you'll fill like you gone back in time... Everything i experienced with those games is back! The amazing graphics for that time, the ambient atmosphere of larking danger in every corner, the realistic approach in everything gameplay related... the open world sandbox that keeps on delivering something interesting even after multiple hours of exploration... and the bugs... And everything in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is multiplied by 2 or more...
So if you're one of those people like me and you loved the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy for what it was buy this right now. You will be supporting this amazing team of developers that accomplished this extraordinary feat beyond odds and i believe they are capable of fixing the game and deliver us on the promise of the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience ever. They have achieve that before. They will again...
In conclusion... As with No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk i supported those games and they ended up being great games that lived up to their promises and now are on my favorite games that i replay constantly... I strongly believe that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 deserves to get on that list even with all the problems that it has. But it's your money and if you don't have a strong connention with the game and if you only played the old games once or not at all, maybe you should sit this one out... I will finish my Steam copy (got it 40% off on an ROG preorder deal) now and replay when the game is fixed probably buying it on GOG too so i can keep it forever...
Good luck Stalkers.
