I'm over 70 years of age and I've played many games both on Steam & Ubsoft platforms over the years. Game technology come along in leaps & bounds, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl, with the new v2.0 update has the best graphics I've ever seen, in any game. This game gives users options, which changes your path through the game. I've restarted the games twice while learning the newonces, It's a war game, without being at war (sort of... haha). You can spend hours in the world, going from one place to another, collectiong, interacting with anomalies, mutants, rivel factions & friendlies. If you like FPP games, try this you want look back.... except in the game.
The atmosphere is just insane sometimes you just stop and look at the creepy skies or the rain, and it feels so real. Combat is brutal, resources are always tight, It’s definitely not an easy game, but that’s exactly why it’s so good. Every time I log in, something unexpected happens. The game just nails the survival aspect perfectly. The Zone feels so dangerous and unpredictable one minute you’re just enjoying the gloomy scenery, and the next you’re running for your life from a bloodsucker because you ran out of ammo. It has its quirky moments, sure, but it only adds to the charm. Seriously, it's easily one of the best shooters I’ve played.
I was just a kid when I first played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl. I still remember coming back from school, rushing to my PC just to explore the Zone. I would sit by campfires with NPCs, listening to them talk in a language i couldn’t understand. I tried to imagine what their stories were about, while guitars played and the fire crackled. I didn’t need to understand the words, the atmosphere said everything. This series raised me. I grew up with it, and I truly love it. That’s why i don’t rush S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. I waited years for this game, and every minute i spend in it feels special. I don’t want to spam-play it, i want to live in it. Every session pulls me away from reality and back into the Zone. The only thing i wish for is the ability to experience this journey in co-op. To play the entire campaign alongside another person and share the atmosphere together. Don’t let the negative reviews affect you. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is not just a game, it’s an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
After finishing the game, I can point out on things I liked and disliked: Pros: -Visually, the game is very nice, that has gives you a perfect atmosphere and feel to the game. -Gunplay feels very satisfying, and somewhat even realistic. mechanisms of weapon jams when you overshoot, different bullet types, ability to corner clear, grenades, attachments, weapon upgrades, armors, bullet range, bullet drop, bleeding and patching up after being shot, etc. -Mutants can be challenging, and not just a small inconvenience, and each mutant forces you to adapt and create your strategies to defeat them, which the more you encounter them, the easier they become for you (since you understand what to do against them). some people complain about them being bullet sponges, but I feel that it makes it more fun, and kind of "Forcing" you to have a high damage shotgun in your arsenal specifically for them. as I played Metro before, the mutants in both games have probably similar points of health. -Main quest was very confusing for me at first, since I did not play any of the other STALKER games, and I felt like the game just threw a bunch of random characters at me without having any memorable interactions with them, so I found myself later on struggling to understand whether I met them before or not. Although, after a bit, approaching closer to the mid game, I started to understand more, and characters felt more connected than in the early game. The more you progress, the more the story feels exiting, and you get more curious. -Side quests are something that we all know that makes the difference between a top notch game, and an good game. The side quests in STALKER 2 feel decent, and most of them have interesting side stories and situation solving, which I enjoyed. -Factions were somewhat unique, with different locations and settings, different leaderships and politics. -The game has a lot of choices that impact the outcome of the story and the world, which was fun. -Exploration is rewarded, if you are the type of player to look into corners, seek loot in random caves, or just scavenge anything you can find. -The shop system is really nice. Most games I feel like the shop is an optional thing, where all the items you might anyhow actually use are absurdly overpriced and never worth it, but in STALKER you have a perfect balance between item costs and money you get from missions and selling, so you are actually able to buy items like weapons, ammo, armors, and equipment you actually want. -The developers seem to care about their game even after initial release, by updating the game frequently, fixing bugs and problems, and they listen to the community. Cons: -I felt like the ending area, did not give you time to explore, and truly have your scavenging fun there, and instead, I felt like the game comms encourage you to act fast and do the exact checkpoints that are needed for the main quest. this left me with rushing through the last area, finishing the main quest really fast, feeling like I lost some opportunities. -After the game ends, there is no way to keep playing from last point, the game just ends. and it sucked a bit for me, since the last thing I wrote made me want to explore some more, especially with the newly acquired gears and weaponry, but it was just over. -The ending I got (There are multiple ending, depending on your choices) felt a bit empty and "unrewarding", although the build up was really nice. -When walking in more open fields, enemies spot you very easily from long distances even though there are so much tall grass and vegetations, that I cannot see from my POV anything for more than 10 meters, but the enemy can spot me like this from about a 100 meters. -DLC : I got this game as a gift from my girlfriend, which wanted me to get the most out of the game. She consulted me before buying it, to ask me if I think the DLC is worth the extra (kind of big difference in price) price. I read a bit more into it, and its basically offers nothing at all, except for very minor things, that you get later in the game anyways. its been quite a while since the release, and it didn't seem to be changed, which disappoints me a little, since I would have loved to support the developers by buying an extra DLC if it was even remotely worth it. -The game has some bugs, and some soft locks, which can be annoying at times, but we all know that open world games are almost impossible to have bug less (I played Skyrim release version), so I can let it slide :D Overall, I would highly recommend this game for people who like the genre, especially if you have a higher end computer to fully immerse yourself with the beautiful, stunning graphics. I'm looking forward for more updates, more real DLCs so that I'll be able to further support the developers.
