STALKER 2 is nothing short of a marvel. The wait for GSC Game World series’ revival has been long and torturous – more so for the developer itself than any of us, given the circumstances it has had to endure behind the scenes – but against all odds, not only does this game exist, it’s also unequivocally excellent.
Its genre-bending antics pull together staples of open world, survival horror, and immersive sim experiences together into a cohesive whole that’s unlike anything else. Stellar emergent open world gameplay, terrifying and potent horror, an incredibly immersive and detailed open world, and engrossing player-driven storytelling combine in one of the year’s best games. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is occasionally let down by its many technical issues at present, but the game itself is spectacular.

No. Not even close.
Maybe in 5 years.
I believe that we can make a HUGE exception on these guys. I mean yes the product is rough around the edges however the fact that they were able to continue the development of it through a literal Armed Conflict! speak volumes on the dedication and hard work they put out on the game. Pretty sure we can wait for patches to come in.
is this game good? i find 'open world' to be very distasteful lately all thanks to ubisoft
Kinda crazy how everyone is complaining saying there are tons of bugs and stuff. Ive got 30+hours in the game and the bugs arent too bad at all. The worse bugs so far are the walls textures or mesh or whatever clip into each other pretty bad sometimes so the walls indoors will flicker. And if you have a Microsoft branded xbox controller for some reason you will have stick drift on the right stick. I have a pdp controller though and its not an issue because i have a seperate app for it to change my deadzones. This game is far from bad though, like skyrim is still fullof bugs and gamebreaking exploits bit its still one of the most played single player rpg's to date. Bugs are fun, stop wanting everything to be perfect because that shit honestly ruins the game since they willrelease several patches and nerfs and buffs and stuff changing everything eventually. Yalls bitching kills the fun of the games sometimes.stop it, enjoy it. This game is a 10/10 for me at its current state.
I describe the graphics of this game by saying the textures are kinda shit on everything but there is so much foliage and rubble and stuff everywhere that regardless of the textures it still looks absolutely astounding.
This game is perfect. Idc what anyone says.
This game friggin’ rocks!!
It's FALLOUT 4
Eurogamer rated the game 3/5 because they found a matchbox with Ukrainian symbols in the game, this is crazy
not even close lmao
So many stupid comments here.
He didn't even have to acknowledge what's happening in Ukraine. And judging by the comments and dislikes, he would have been way better off if he hadn't.
Y'all need to stop being jerks.
I’ve been enjoying the hell out of this game. It was just the game I was needing for this time of year. I’ve banked 180 hours of paid time off. I’m about to spend the holidays gaming like I did when I was a kid.
Thank you for this review! I've seen some really unfair bullshit reviews for this game, but this one hits the target for me cause you are focusing on the right stuff.
I'm gonna let this one get patched a couple of times but it will be on my Christmas list.
1:10 It hurts my eyes to see how bad you are at this, and you still dare to upload this gameplay on YouTube.
Keep in mind most of these people complaining about performance went out and bought a console. Enough said. My 2070 is handling shit just fine. Try optimizing the computer and you wouldn't have problems.
stalker is like a delicious great looking cake. taste gd too . until u bite thru to the middle n realise it definitely needs more time in the other. please stop releasing games that arnt ready.
Game of the year…
So far I have had 2 guns randomly switch to different guns in inventory, a few different artifacts that would not spawn without MANY reloads. 1 even needed a fresh start of the game. The game crashes ALOT. I have crashed at least 20 times. I have tried so many of the various "fixes" for crashing online, and there are a lot of them, so it is not just me.
My PC is high end, it is not my hardware.
I want to love the game… but this game makes Bethesda games look like well oiled machines!
I’m a big fan of the STALKER series, and this game has definitely met my expectations in almost every aspect. I’ve played for around 9 hours, and while I haven’t encountered any significant bugs or glitches, I did experience some frame drops that made the game unplayable. Restarting the game fixed the issue, though, and this only happened twice during my overall playtime. The developers are actively working on patches, so these issues should be resolved soon.
I absolutely love the game. However, for those who have never played a STALKER game before, it might take some time to get used to the mechanics, as the gameplay is slow-paced and requires patience. But that’s exactly what makes it a true STALKER experience. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.
That said, calling it a "Game of the Year" contender? Not in its current state. Additionally, the game has a very specific player base, so it’s not going to appeal to everyone. I’ve already noticed this reflected in the comments.
So far i'm loving this game especially the gun fights where your gun can jam at anytime.
I noticed when you knife glass it doesn't even make a shattering sound it just sounds stupid lol
Other than that i love how you can unload a gun from somewhere and take the bullets I find it interesting because it's my first time seeing this in a game. I never played any stalker games but i'm addicted i tell ya' 🤌
GOTY?????? lmaooooo Yeah ok. The framerate issues ALONE should bar this game from any awards right now. The complete framerate freezing and drops around populated areas are damn near game breaking. Gaming reviews have never been worse or more bias than ever before. This game runs like utter DOGSHIT. Is it fun? ABSOLUTELY. Is it good? Hell yes, but it does have game breaking framerate issues. This cannot be ignored. It's a big deal. 7 out of 10
Ive been addicted to Stalker games for years. Not too concerned about initial bugs and control issues as i remember the absolute state Cyberpunk was at launch. Its near perfect these days.
6 hours in, and the dogs are so frustrating. very good
Got a 2Tb Series X, and bought this game. I'm off from work in 6 hours.
Game of the year 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I dont think so im Stalker of day one and the Stalker 2 makes me upset
0:23 ???? Ukrainian had to deal with "challenges"? a new word to describe war?
"challenges"? Really? Not a full scale invasion by Russia?
My only real gripe with this game right now Is the aiming feels pretty janky to me. like not smooth at all.
Remember that an 8 out of ten could be your 10…
I dont put a succulent meal through the master chef lense when i go out to enjoy myself 😂
9/10?
Unsubbed.
i haven't played any Stalker games. But this new game looking good.
Nice
Definitely NOT game of the year.
This game is amazing. A rough gem with glitches and flaws to be sure, but amazing
Whats with the blood around @4:56 ? Looks like red gas effects? And not a drop of blood decals?? Always takes me out of the experience when a game pushes realistic visuals but gets it wrong with blood/gore in games that warrant it.
PS. Maybe it wasnt a traditional weapon, as in maybe some wild physical force push weapon that shoots red mist but that def looks like a run of the mill db shotgun hah. Maybe an ammo type?
To those with the means but waiting for perfection—consider this:
This game could be the "Game of Your Life," one you’ll mod and love forever. But greatness needs support. By helping the developers now, while they’re still building, you could fuel their vision and turn potential into reality.
What if they’re on the brink of collapse, unable to finish without your help? Don’t wait for perfection—help create it.
No game of the year is silent hill 2 remake. Sorry. Even if I enjoy this it’s not going to beat it.
Why you call it "Next Fallout" when both games are completely diffrent?? Stalkers are close to Metro you dummy.
Its horribly broken, feels cheaply made
