woah... very cool concept. its like a reskinned 3d modeling software with progression systems functioning like a tutorial. but also systems to relay how model changes will actually effect weapon stats / performance... veyr cool idea.

The only other forging game I've played was the flash game Jacksmith. I liked it quite a lot and I'm glad another 'forging focused' game is being made. Also, I can already see Skallagrim fans sending him cursed sword builds when this releases.

Ey yo my DnD weapons about to get designed

Man, making swords is my lifetime dream, this looks like so much fun!

Was this game abandoned?

Thanks so much for that detailed video analyzing the game! You've only seen a tiny part of what we've got in the playtest build so far. We've got tons of great ideas for improvement and we've already passed them on to the devs. We hope you'll enjoy the final version even more!

Yeah, the ballistic shield, unfortunately, doesn't protect from Melee attacks. 😒

Uh no. You already got the history at the beginning wrong. The original 1986 Chernobyl disaster happened and they contained it just like in our reality. However, unlike in our reality, the empty Zone of Exclusion was then used by a group of Soviet scientists to conduct clandestine research projects (the so-called Project X) which include high-tech weaponry, psychic control and the Noosphere, the informational field generated by human minds/thoughts that surrounds the Earth. The noospheric experiments intended to remove negative thoughts from human minds worldwide by directly tampering with the Noosphere backfired horribly and caused a breach or rift in the Noosphere in 2006 (resulting the very first Emission) enabling it to interfere directly with and break the laws of reality, defy physics, etc. THAT is what turned the original Zone of Exclusion into what it is now {the "Zone") after the original 1986 nuclear disaster and created the various anomalies, artifacts, mutants, etc. Emissions? Merely the periodic release of excess energy from the Noosphere that could not be contained by the scientists after they realised their mistake and tried to fix it. If you've never played the first 3 games, then check the Stalker wiki. It has loads of information including history and lore of the Zone.

Also - a shoggoth in original Lovecraft is just a genetically engineered lifeform made by the alien race -The Elder Things - it’s essentially bio goop from a not particularly remarkable creature created to be a base labourer - not saying it couldn’t have interesting applications but to make a god out of it seems a bit of a stretch

Disappointed a bit in the creation story of the train , somewhat undermines the Lovecraft feel if you can make an elder god - would have probably accepted just a new guy falls into the train life and never gets a proper explanation as to where the train came from but thank you for covering a relatively obscure game the trailer of which caught my interest and made me keen to learn more

To be fair, they did develop this while their country was being invaded by Russia. And they are dumping out patches pretty fast. I'll give them a pass considering its on gamepass.

I too wish to throw bolts at people and have them get mad. With that said I did find out you can lure "people" by tossing bolts so at least there's that. I know it 100% works on Zoms but I haven't really checked humans to be honest though but I have to guess it works on things that aren't detecting you yet.

I played the originals when they came out on disc, and bought and played them again when rereleased on Steam. I'm not at all a fan of the horror genre, but this franchise is really my exception to that rule. I think in part it's the eastern bloc sci-fi ground it's built upon. They are the only games where my character cowered in a small room watching the stairs leading down to the metal doors of another abandoned laboratory, while out in the real world I gave myself pep-talks to take that first step. It's a bizarre combination of dread, fear, and excitement and compulsion to keep exploring. I cannot think of another game series where the environment itself is the unspoken main character, and you are just another insignificant life form crawling over its surface.

Soooooooo, I am veteran from the 1st part through 2 addons, and now to Stalker 2. Love this game. Your video is a good summary to new players, and describing franchise pretty well. P.S. According to lore, not the radiation created the Zone, but a group of scientists called The Group (idk the exact naming in English :D )

I hope they fix the fps drops soon. I do love this game. Let’s not complicate the plot though. It’s a guy that went to hell to get revenge on a rock that blew up his kitchen.

The factions are what make S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so good. I love the feud between Freedom and Duty, Mercs, Monolith, Spark. They all just exist in the zone for their own reasons with no real good or bad guys (except maybe Monolith.)

The zone didn’t come about by the catastrophe, it was accidentally created by the C-conciseness.

I would remove eternal bolts.

I absolutely love this game

aside from a couple bugs, S2 is exactly what I expected it to be. Veteran trilogy player will feels right at home. however if you're the kind that started Stalker with mod packs that drastically alter many aspects... S2 will likely not tick your fancy. There are too many complaints simply came from the fact that people trying to compare S2 with Misery, Anomaly or Gamma. of course, S2 is not a hero shooter, not a looter shooter. This is not an instant gratification game. That's another type of player that constantly complaining things...

4:03 you can see something wery important... something blue... 😅

If you look closely at the brand on Skif's personal knife, you can see the markings of the Ukrainian Marine Corps. So Skif is a former Marine.

I'll agree with you up until a certain scientific facility that I will not spoil. The game completely breaks into pieces after this point. It is so unfortunate because everything prior to this is brilliant.

The game is great, tons of interesting locations. The atmosphere is awesome. The underground locations are really scary. Huge zone with tons of interesting locations and hidden stashes to explore.

sooo... about the history of the stalker universe... you're a bit wrong about that... In the game world, the zone did not arise because radiation contaminated the surroundings, the history of the universe begins kinda after the first disaster in 1986. Coz the zone is a closed uninhabited territory where there are still other working blocks of the nuclear power plant, which produce a large amount of energy, there are laboratories with scientists who research a bunch of different things, including creating mutants from animals and people (yes - a large number of mutants are not like that because of radiation, although there are some there), and one of the main studies is the noosphere (the information field of the earth) - and based on this, you can "briefly say" that the zone arose as a result of unsuccessful experiments with the noosphere. And so - it was "very short" because in fact this whole story with the research of Project X, with a large number of relevant laboratories and things the like is a very interesting and mysterious story, which was to some extent revealed by the first and third games of the original series, which generated a lot of theories among fans and received its disclosure in the new game. It's all really interesting and fascinating and if someone is interested, then it makes sense to get acquainted with the old games, but not necessarily, a lot will be explained to you and so + you can learn something from audiologists, notes and your own research into the world of the zone. Good hunting, stalker!

Little correction: Stalker is not a RPG, it's a Survival Horror FPS.

Waiting for all bugs to be polished, that's one of the best games I've played. Definitely top 10

Game of the year!

Even though I was still a child when Shadow of Chernobyl was released, I, like most children in Ukraine at that time, simply couldn't tear myself away from the game. For me, the Stalker and Metro series are a reason to be proud of Ukrainian game development. So, even understanding and acknowledging all the problems of Stalker 2, for me it is one of the best games of all time, and I am sincerely glad that more and more people around the world are getting involved in this fictional world of the Zone. Not to mention the fact that this game is one of the few that left me breathless after finishing it.

I'm 48 and feel like a child saying this but......my son is getting me this game for Christmas and I've been watching videos like yours to get me a little understanding on this game. Great video!

You are like completely wrong about why Zone happen, it had nothing to do with radiation

you've got the story all wrong bro, radiation didnt cause the anomalies, go read the wiki about it.

HP - hollow point lol

Good hunting stalker

Very much in the "never played the OG - wanted to see what the hype was about" camp. Not disappointed. I'm loving this, from the story to the gameplay, to the incredibly harsh inventory management - absolutely loving it <3 It's kind of everything I never realised I wanted in an (essentially) FPS. Many many bugs yes, but none have been of a "screw this - I'm done" variety. Haven't finished it yet, but already looking forward to playing again and doing things slightly different. The world is great and I wanna spend more time there.

ive been balls deep in the game for a few days now myself, game is spectacular but does have a decent amount of problems right now. The biggest being that A life is not in the game right now and will come later (the AI system that makes npcs extremely dynamic and makes the world feel alive around you). Other problems are repair costs are insane and punishing which they said they are looking at, as well as the human AI are all trained navy seal snipers even with sawn off double barrel shotguns from 1 mile away. Great game and im honestly excited to play it again in a year when everything is fixed up. 2 mods i highly recommend are mutants drop loot to balance out the repair costs and make you feel like fighting them is worth something, and better gunfights that make the human AI less accurate from long and medium range for a more realistic feel.

I wouldn’t exactly call any game with Leon ‘The Sex’ Kennedy survival or horror need it’s from the perspective of the enemies.
