S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope

Sorry but no. The fight with the Amok is just horrible. I can deal with the first two weak points, but the third is just ridiculous. You have no time to react to be able to shoot at the third weak spot at all. I searched online and some forums said to bait it into a charge by standing still, like when it initially comes out of its room, but that is the only time it does that throughout the whole fight, and I've tried standing still in a straight line to it from across the arena multiple times. How am I supposed to get behind it when its jump HOMES IN ON YOU! I do not know who is responsible with playtesting and greenlighting this fight, but they need to given a serious conversation regarding their competency. I stand by what I said above - it is a horribly-designed fight. I will add that this is not my first Stalker 2 go-through; I was paying attention to weight vs speed, and was wearing a SEVA-V and using Sledgehammer. Not BIS, but not terrible either. I did get past the fight; he glitched on a corpse and I used underhanded-tossed grenades for them to end rolling just behind him, nailing his last weakpoint and finally downing him. The I hit F5 like a crack addict in a whorehouse. He is not hard to avoid if you keep your distance and judge your speed wisely, just impossible to do so AND aim (NOT ADS) and hit his last weakpoint. The first two weakpoints are easy/manageable (for Stalker). The rest of the DLC is beautiful and a must-get. It also runs butter-smooth. So I'm moving my thumbs-down to thumbs-up. I don't know; maybe I was just having a bad day. My best wishes to Ukraine.

it was worth every penny!

This gets a negative review just because of The Forgotten side quest and the fact the game is forcing player to perform terrible jumping puzzles scatterd all around a big area just to actually open the said area for exploration (if you skip it you will die in almost any open area because of the terribly designed Flare anomaly). This is extremely bad game design and genuinely I have never seen something that dumb in an open world game. The DLC itself is pretty mid with introducing a few decent guns and not very interesting plot taking place in the new CNPP area. If you have this already with buying ultimate edition I guess it's fine to play but actually spending money for it as a separate purchase does not sound like a good idea.

ДЛС к сталкеру меня порадовало - сюжет пока что интереснее чем в основной игре, графику проапгрейдили, новые локации интересные, элайф тоже в целом стал лучше, хотя, к сожалению даже до уровня ЗП пока что не дотягивает. Ну а так в целом годнота.

That's how a DLC is done!

Great DLC. It was really interesting to play. There were a few minor bugs, but nothing serious. The game also runs much much better after the 2.0 update.

Прекрасне длс і чудовий патч 2.0 справді стало краще ,а длс шик квести загадки прям гарни зроблені 10/10
