Finally, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is here, and it's everything a true S.T.A.L.K.E.R. veteran could hope for. This much-awaited sequel is a new generation in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, and I'm incredibly glad it's finally out. It captures all the original game's aspects, giving me that same old itch to play. It literally sucks you in. I'm also very pleased that GSC released the game on GOG; it's a great gesture, and for me, the GOG version has been running significantly smoother than on other platforms. Of course, the game has some problems, but GSC is doing a fantastic job fixing them. I hope the A-Life gets a little better (it's already pretty good, I think even better than the original games), and I hope we get a true freeplay mode where you can just wander around and do random quests. I'm sure it will happen; GSC will do it, or modders will, and that's the beauty of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Good hunting, stalker.
