Amazing encapsulation of stalker fun

This game is a perfect recreation of all the ideal qualities that drew people to the original stalker trilogy, and so much more. Strikes an excellent chord between the additional realism the franchise has always had in moderation, and the goofy gameyness that brings so much fun when combined with the realism, a component that derivative shooters like Escape from Tarkov do not bring to the table. I really enjoyed how the English voice actors just chew up their lines and make for a bunch of action movie-esqe camp from time to time. It runs rough on pretty much any computer, and its janky as hell from time to time, but it sure as hell is a gem.

A Diamond in the EXTREME rough

This was written after the 1.0.3 Patch After this patch (my) crashing issues have been mostly resolved but performance is still very spotty without mods. I dont have the highest specs around but Idont normally run into performance issues like this game has. I7-9700K 64GB RAM DDR4 3200 MT/s RTX 4070 2TB SSD *All this gives me a very unstable experience with my FPS fluctuating between 40-60 fps* The game is fun and feels refreshing even after years of playing the original trilogy and Anomaly. There are a ton of well animated and directed cutscenes that will be a problem for some people but I personally dont have an issue with this. The story is interesting and the English Dub while being "bad" really works for me in a "so bad its good" way. A-Life 2.0 is sadly "broken" at the time of writting this which is a huge bummer and a possible deal breaker for some. Its everything I wanted from a game series I desperately wanted to come back. I just wish performance was better and with time that could change.

Broken, hardcoded Keybindings. Dont buy!

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.

Great game, few technical problems

Worthy continuation of original Stalkers. Players new to franchise will catch up with the vibe anyway. Setup: rx 6600xt , r5 3600, 16GB, FSR 3.1, high-mid, 1440p- around 80fps most of the time, upscaling leaves weird artifacts (pun intended) but hey, this is the zone. Needed console for unlocking main quest, just google what you are locked on and it will be allright (using console don't lock achievements on gog). Few crashes, very few smaller bugs. For bigger bugs use shotgun. A- live dosn't work at all, quite a shame.
