STALKER 2 is a survival game that leans heavily into its hardcore roots. It excels at creating a tense atmosphere, with challenging survival mechanics, dangerous exploration, and a realistic sense of constant peril.
However, its lackluster story, repetitive AI, and inconsistent NPC behavior might not appeal to everyone. Definitely not my cup of tea.
Best suited for fans of the original STALKER or those seeking a punishing survival experience, it’s a solid, unique game that stands apart from modern trends.
