Stalker 2 - Is it good?

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a game that thrives on chaos, both in its development history and its gameplay experience. As Paul Kelly from PCGamesN notes, the journey through The Zone is fraught with dangers—from deadly anomalies to technical hurdles—that make survival a constant battle. Reviving the cult-classic series after 15 years, GSC Game World aims to modernize Stalker while staying true to its roots, but the result is a mixed bag.

Michael Higham of IGN highlights the dual nature of Stalker 2: the rewarding friction of surviving a hostile, open world, and the frustrating friction of bugs and erratic AI. While the game’s atmosphere and survival mechanics shine, these technical issues often pull players out of the experience. Despite its flaws, Higham emphasizes that there are moments of brilliance buried beneath the rough edges.

With a sprawling map, an eerie ambiance, and countless quests, Stalker 2 offers an ambitious if uneven return to The Zone. For those willing to endure its shortcomings, there’s greatness to be found, though patience will be a necessary survival tool.
