Stalker series is my favorite games but Stalker 2 is not one of them...
And problem is not even in bugs, optimization or AI, they will be fixed sooner or later(i believe).

First is gameplay, compared to previous games it feels casual: ton of loot per square meter, human enemies almost dont do damage, interesting mechanics when you have low HP enemies stop attacking you for a moment, instant HP recovery from a medkit, lethal anomalies dont kill you and all this on veteran difficulty.

Some things break immersion: yellow marked ladders and boards(is it really that hard to spot them without that?), headshot hit sound, freshly painted green ammo crates, huge amount of nіgers(there are more nіgers in zone than in all Ukraine) who speak pure ukrainian, 90% of radio music is just bad, also headlamp has no shadows or it located on camera transform, which makes it feel weird.

Voice acting, cutscenes and animations. I played game in ukrainian voice acting and it is bad, i dont know how to explain it but in real life people dont talk like that, and together with cringe cutscenes i felt like i was watching stupid action movie, also developers forgot to make a lip sync for ukrainian voice acting. Especially annoying FOV decreasing during dialogues and stupid hand gestures(instead of getting gun, you say cringe phrase and warm up your hands when choosing a combat option). Weapon animations are generally not bad, but animation interrupting is just hell. When you using medkit and start running at wrong time, it just doesnt using, same with reloading. Is it was hard make possible to run while reloading and healing?

I still couldnt get into plot because of bad cutscenes and voice acting, but i also didnt understand main character motivation, if he needed money, why did he chase scanner that probably already been sold 50 times instead of farming artifacts and quests.

I will add that all enemies with dead guns, but at same time they can drop full armor, also balance of artifacts was too simplified to those that giving radiation and others that giving protection from it.

As result, i think will replay game later after patches, but even after them game will not be at the level of previous games.

Хороший 3д редактор, а главное бесплатный)

Game that lost its identity

Ну в общем игра сделана неплоха.

Из минусов только то что не затягивает надолго (10 часов на прохождение всех уровней на А+ и выполнение всех ачивок).

Из плюсов хорошая графика, неплохие механики, багов почти нет (единственный баг который нашёл это если определённо встать с шокером у стены то персонаж начинает двигаться), реалистичные фоновые звуки (мне постоянно казалось что за окном ездяют с мигалками и то что в соседней комнате звонил телефон).

Надеюсь разработчики добавят новые сюжетные линии или же как-то продолжат эту. Если и брать то только со скидкой ибо 10 часов геймплея не стоят 229 гривень.
