It's a great game, the atmosphere plays a big part in it, so even some bugs don't spoil the experience too much. I will continue to play the game, and when all the bug patches are released, I will play the game again 😁✌️ Don't forget that the studio had a lot of challenges due to the war started by the russians. The studio moved to another country, and some of the staff decided to bravely defend Ukraine, so the fact that the game was released at all is a miracle

This game looks great, I'm excited for this playthrough. It's also crazy how stalker 2 looks identical in art style to stalker 1. They really stayed very true to their vision. Also the storyline, design, characters & atmosphere, everything is absolute legendary!!!!
Pitty they removed Russian (understandable of course). Language is more than an option or interface feature, it’s an integral part of the experience and feeling especially for those born in USSR as me. A lot of phrases from the first stalker became memes.

If you want complete immersion, put Ukrainian voice acting and English subtitles. Ukrainian dubbing is something, each character is charismatic in its own way, and different groups differ in the manner of communication, for example, bandits speak in Surzhik. The English version also partially conveys this, but in my opinion not fully. The English dubbing was done by a non-Ukrainian studio, so there will hardly be a Slavic accent, or there will be little.
@@spottedslash4256 It honestly would've been enough it they just made VAs speak with heavy slavic accent. Half of the vibe is gone with npcs speaking like regular Joes.
stop comparing stalker and metro, metro is just trash, overrated crap that has nothing to do with stalker and somehow they still find a way to relate both games, i started 2033 with great expectations ppl sayin its like stalker its a masterpiece and all that bullshit, but its just a horrible scripted campaign game where u hv no idea where ur supposed to go, no any awareness of the environment, the game basically blinds u and chains u in every way possible, u cant pass over seemingly jumpable objects, there are hidden transparent objects in the game that stop u from moving to a place that doesnt make sense so u end up not having any idea where ur supposed to go, the problem isnt it being campaign or blocking u from going to a place but the way it does it is stupid, just put a wall or something there not a non existent not modelled wall or object, the game has no soul or any clear identity, the story is crap, when it came to that reds vs nazis part i died from cringe and deleted the game
@@danielsimmons8861 it's not created by the same ppl, it's just that some 4A devs were previous GSC devs who worked on stalker, still that doesn't mean they're related games, 1 person can create 2 very distinct games

Both of them tend typically start at Russia the guns, even though they look that similar do kind of does and the gameplay kind of act the same well the difficulty definitely turned down their similar games, not the exact same OK and also in my opinion, the Metro games are not bad.

Stalker hints: 1. You can break some special wooden boxes to find stuff in there 2. When going through/around anomaly always try using artifact detector. Sometimes really handy artifacts might be found 3. After receiving damage, you get bleeding. Bandages are specially made to stop it, it’s not just a regular “weak” medkit
I can't open the door at 35:35, says unavailable... I guess I got hard locked for whatever reason| Nevermind, game hud showed red on top, meaning I was in fight/danger(?), had to walk out of the area and walk back in to resolve it
Refunded the game because of the frequent crashing, needing 2 minutes to rebuild shaders upon startup every time, and subpar optimization is quite insufferable. Guess I'll be watching it instead :l
They pooped on the original stalker feel. They added many goofy sounds and visuals effects that are simply not needed. It feels like a shift for the worse compared to the original UNMODDED games. Of course no game is perfect and the older ones had their problems too of course. This feels like Dying Light 2 too much.
right on point. remeber when a 2007 game made you too scared to even move an inch? yeah there is none of that here. feels like a ubisoft game with a stalker skin. sad.

Maaan I was waiting for you to post - thanks for the gameplay!! :D
Yo, more vids on this game soon?
Wuz long waiting bro
Does this game have monsters like Metro series? Or just all human enemies.
The stalker series has both human enemies and mutant enemies, mutants can look like humans but trust me, they aren’t human anymore.
oh boy, your in for a ride. ~
Only human..
lmao bruh u have no idea
It looks far less gritty and more cartoonish than I thought. Is it also using hit scan now than actual bullets?
And what's with the bugs and the AI?

GSC the goat for this
Which recording? Soft please
So the game is still hard like the first series with improvement gameplay

Is this like Metro Exodus? Is the game worth it or no
love the infinite bolts!
16:51 please help. I keep getting killed by this monster.

Where's the cheeki breeki? Why the characters sound Western Spies? Where's the Slav accent?
