I took my time explored alot i was really enjoying it but it started feeling like a drag so when i got to the last 2 maps i just beelined the main quests. Its not a bad game but there are alot of frustrating bugs, like weapons enemies drop disappear all the time or a game breaking bug where a stupid mechanic introduced for one of the final boss fights would t work (thats when i uniatalled it). It got to a point where the queats felt meaningless, the explorstion was pointless, the rewards and loot just same junk over and over. I had intended to play on master, did most of this playthrough on vet, but i put it down a few times because monsters just sponge bullets and it just takes forever to kill them, there is no challenege. The walking everywhere part is a horrible time sink. I played it when it came to gsme pass first snd wasn't into it then but wanted to give it another go. It looks good, but its open world even though there are enemies everywhere most locations are just the same thing over and over and u get some canned food a sausage and a weapon worse than your load out for your efforts. Not even keen for the upcoming dlc anymore totally burnt out on this game, probably hide it from my library.

its not terrible but its plagued with technical issues, a lot of little frustrating/boring/shallow gameplay elements, and convoluted storytelling. the first half of the game is pretty fun with a lot of side content but the longer you play the less content there is. there's a huge beautiful world but there's not really enough reason to explore it, as loot is so abundant (meaning the survival element is also not really there). the gunplay and anomaly hunting are the strong points of this game but id much rather just go and play GAMMA tbh.
One of if not the best game I've ever played. As someone coming from the Fallout franchise this was so beyond up my alley and I had no clue about it. I'd highly recommend newcomers start out the game on rookie difficulty as it is quite punishing, but the story is fantastic.

Атмосфера, сюжет, звук - усе на вищому рівні.
Вперше в Зоні — і це неймовірний, хоч і жорстокий досвід. Як людина, яка не грала в старі частини, я підходив до гри з пересторогою, але S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 зміг мене вразити. Графіка на Unreal Engine 5 виглядає розкішно, а атмосфера похмурої та небезпечної Зони затягує. Гра взагалі не тримає за руку: аномалії вбивають миттєво, мутанти змушують пітніти. Це вимагає максимальної пильності, логіки та менеджменту ресурсів. Сюжет та відкритий світ досліджувати справді цікаво, навіть без знання передісторії. Однозначно рекомендую.
спасибо хорошо
O MELHOR jogo de exploração que já joguei em toda a vida. As mecânicas, gráfico, jogabilidades sensacionais. Fazia tempo que um jogo não me prendia como os jogos se antigamente e esse prendeu!! Nota 10
