So good! It's not perfect, but they have fixed it so it plays real smooth now. No more crashes and far less game breaking stutters and lag. So much better than it was at launch. Plus it is gorgeous and gives you that classic Stalker atmosphere with modern graphics. I'm able to play on mostly high and even ultra settings at 1440 and maintain around 60 fps. So not the most optimized game in the world, but it is steady now. A fitting successor to one of my favorite franchises!
Nah man, had to change my review. This game feel like a chore. This is coming from someone who loves escape from tarkov and other survival type games. This game is tough in the wrong ways. I should not have to run 3/4 of the map just to repair a weapon or put an attachment on. That is crazy. Theirs not even a half way point or anything where you can get a lift to town or something. Yal have to make it tough in fun ways. Don't draw things out by making us run long distances, only to be killed by a cheap shot from some stupid magician zombie thing half way through. idk man this game is sadly not my thing despite all the praise it got. I can play tarkov which is one of the most punishing games ever for hours and not get bored. I get about an hour into this, and find myself just annoyed and feeling like I'm going to the grocery store for my wife or something. Busy work.
Это было мое первое знакомство с серией S.T.A.L.K.E.R., но впечатления оказались далеко не такими, как я ожидал. Игра ощущается очень сырой: регулярно встречаются баги, а оптимизация оставляет желать лучшего. Из-за технических проблем погрузиться в атмосферу Зоны у меня так и не получилось. Возможно, спустя несколько крупных обновлений игра станет значительно лучше, но на момент моего прохождения она оставила скорее негативные впечатления.
This game is definitely fun, but that was back in the first 20 hours of this game. This game drags on for so much longer that its become annoying to run across the entire zone constantly. Sure I can pay to fast travel but that doesn't fix the issue very well since you would need money to do that and you need to do more side quests for that. This game would have been much better if it was a 20 hour playthrough and man oh man the writing/dialogue is awful.

графіка просто - ок
Requires a pretty beastly pc to run (for now - hoping for better optimization cuz it's ♥♥♥♥ atm) The gameplay itself is alright: "nOt GrEat, NOt tErRiblE". Feels like the older Stalker games. Just don't compare it to Anomaly and its modpacks like GAMMA. If you want it, buy it on sale! (Yes I've also tried the performance on Windows)
не стабільна просто край, я обожнюю сталкер, але це зущання якесь
스토커 전작들 해보려다 너무 옛날 그래픽이라 거르고 이번 작이 처음인데 굉장히 재밌게 했음.
