This is the game that the original Stalker wanted to be. Perfect blend of FPS action, earie suspense, wide open playground, decent storyline, tricky puzzles, and incremental weapon and stat improvements such that each new found item feels like a big win. 75hrs in and having a blast!

Game is finally worth buying in 2026, so much so that i upgraded to Ultimate Edition as the DLC was so good to play through. One of the most immersive open world games i've ever played, with a great linear story, non linear quests, and multiple endings affected by your choices with factions. Enemy AI needs more work, veteran difficulty is challenging in some parts and laughably dumb in other situations. Funny to hear the amount of Irish accents in the English language version, bring back the fake cheeki breeki ones instead please. Have multiple playthroughs now and looking forward to someone making ANOMALY or GAMMA mods for STALKER 2 soon. 9/10

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
