I can't wait for Stalker: Anomaly 2.
Other than that, Stalker 2 is a great, but massively flawed game.
- ♥♥♥♥♥♥ performance, even on my RTX 4070 Super, i7-12700f with 48gb RAM.
- Lots of economy balance issues. For instance, repairing an armor piece can be more expensive than just buying a new one.
- Repetetive jobs for merchants/barkeeps/the fatty Sidorovich, are not only not worth the effort (800 coupons per like 10 bandits), but also make you wait a couple of ingame days before you can get a new one.
- Enemies have aimbot and spam grenades, not fun
- Radiation either kills you instantly or gives you an annoying visual effect, nothing in between.
- Mutants are bullet sponges, which sucks when you have to fight them in tight spaces (For example: One of your first missions in the lesser zone area is to fight two Bloodsuckers in a tight tunnel).
- A-life is... just not working
- Both graphics and entities such as NPCs or mutants are spawning like 10 - 20 meters in front of you
- Unreal Engine. You just feel that it's made in unreal. Maybe it's just me, but it's bothering.
- Generally has some Fallout 4 feeling, which is a tragedy, given how much Fallout 4's presentation sucks ass.

I know this sounds like I hate it, but it's quite the contrary. I recommend some mods to improve your experience.
