Compling shaders every time.....
Having to do this for like 10 minutes every time you open the game is a little absurd.

Wait for patches and sale.
I played the Xbox Game Pass version. While the game offers a fun experience overall, it’s hard to ignore some of the issues. The AI can feel inconsistent, and there are several minor gameplay glitches or mechanics that can break immersion. Though I can tolerate the subpar performance, the game’s constant crashing is a major problem. Each time you reload, you’re forced to recompile shaders, which can take several minutes depending on your system. It’s clear the game needed more time for optimization and bug fixes, especially to address the game-breaking crashes. My recommendation: wait for a sale and a few patches before diving in.

Only for S.T.A.L.K.E.R Fanboys
I am gonna cut my review short, i got the Ward Ending (Stalker Difficulty) and did most of the quests, so i think i am able to rate the game in a fair manner. The gunplay is extremely good and the story is awesome (best STALKER game for sure), but thats where the good things end. The level design is horrific with thousands of unnecessary barriers that make you run around in circles for hours, the quest markers are useless, the loot is ridiculously bad and you are running out of ammo all of the time (so you are forced to use guns that you dont like), not to mention game breaking quest-bugs and unbalanced enemies (some are target dummies and others are unkillable supersoldiers for no reason), in its current state the game is a boring running simulator with very bad lighting (way too dark and way too many nights) for hardcore STALKER fanboys who just want to play the story no matter the cost. Unless you want to install 20 different mods and enable cheats via the UE Console you will have a very bad time with this game, so better wait for the big patches (i played on 1.0.3) and buy it on sale with a big discount.

Has potential, but not yet...
Stalker 2 has amazing potential, as someone who loves DayZ, Tarkov, and Fallout this game has a blend of all three of those games makes me excited to experiuence the world whenever I play. BUT there are SO MANY ISSUES this game needs addressed. Gameplay would be so fun, but NPCs seem to just no where you are no matter what; STEALTH IS COMPLETELY USELESS! Enemies will just appear behind you for no apparent reason, and they all have XRAY vision and can see you anywhere. And gunplay can be very frustrating, when pl;ayers get a headshot on enemies it makes an audible cue. But that sound doesnt mean you actually killed an enemy, which has led to many times where I believe I killed an enemy, and then I am getting shot by said enemy I had thought I had killed. I find myself having a lot of fun with this game, but during those times I get so disappointed/frustrated with how erratic this game is, and the bugs and optimization issues is a big issue that ruins QOL in the game. I hightly recommend waiting for patches and mods to come out to improve this game.
