If you've played stalker or are a fan, then there's not much to say, It's Stalker but with a 2. In terms of gameplay it's very much like the first but more streamlined, Which i think is good. The story telling and ambiance is top notch. The biggest flaw of the game is it's performance. The game is absolutely beutiful but lower end systems will have issues running it at max settings, And even Top end PC's will struggle with consistent FPS. I'm running a 3070ti down scaled to 1080p and im around 60 fps with low dips in settlements. To summarize: If you liked stalker and dont mind the performance, its a must play. If youve never played stalker, check if your system is 'above' the minimum requirements, or wait for a stability patch. The game play's like a Fallout with a hardcore difficulty, The game will test your Patience at times but it is worth the struggle for the setting alone. I reccomend playing it in it's native language with subtitles on, The English dub isn't bad but it lacks the charm of the original.
