Only just now getting to the 2nd area (main story lead) and I'm absolutely loving it. Outside of the occasional stutter, I've have little to no issues at all. The game looks absolute gorgeous. Gun-play feels nice, at least for Stalker standards.

It's great to be back in the zone, after all the delays. For those who complain or leave a negative review, bear in mind: Half the dev team died fighting to protect their own country. Give it time, let them cook. As well as, is it really a Stalker game if it didn't have optimization issues? Clearly too many people played the modded versions of the original 3 games and got spoiled.

Either way, fantastic game, can't wait to dive deeper into it.

Wish I could give this game a higher rating than 10 out of 10. It's truly immaculate and stunning. Apart from times where audio would cut out and delay in regards to cutscenes, the fighting, environment, and story couldn't be better. While fights could can be hard, it's gives a great feeling of satisfaction when you overcome that hurdle. As well as, the fact that you can infinitely respec your stats FOR FREE??? Can't recommend this game enough.

Absolutely a phenomenal game. Loved every minute of playing, even if it was mostly spent messing around and collecting dinos with friends.

I can't in good mindset recommend buying this game, because like many others will say, all multiplayer and future updates end in August of 2023. I also don't recommend pre-ordering the upgrade they're going to drop at the same time of this shut down, until you see actual footage of what this 'upgrade' entails and they fix the lies they so carelessly threw at us.

I too, love spending more time replaying the race level on hardest difficulty, than anything else, because any slightly wrong move will send you to the moon.

This game is very fun and different enough from the typical colony building kind of games. It's especially fun in co-op with friends.

I don't recommend this game one single bit. No matter how many patches they put in to 'fix' things, there's still bugs from the previous tests that are in the game. Combat is very clunky, scripts for the AI is atrocious (I.E Open world boss randomly aggros onto another player that's just running by and then suddenly resets itself.) Game releases with nothing new, so if you played the previous tests, you're just playing the same old content with MAYBE new creatures, but that's about it. Highly do not recommend this game at all.

Despite all the short comings the game started with, and still has, it has come a long way and is significantly better than it used to be in the first year.

While I have not put that many hours in, as some others who have posted a review, I can say that this is just a spitting image of its predecessor in that it lacks anything new. The COOP is repetitive with it's missions and lacks uniqueness. As well as the PvP is very spotty at best. For example, playing the 'Push' mode, players on the enemy team are able to go to the next objective (even if it's not showing) and 'prep' it's capture. To say, my team and I were holding C, before we all died. The moment D popped up, it has already been 'taken' and then pushed us to E. So, when the enemy can happen, what's the point in having 'Zones' to prevent players from spawn camping (which still happens in almost every match I was in). As well as the rag dolls not doing proper movements (t-posing or the model moves, but has no animation when shooting, sprinting, etc).

Feel free to play the game yourself to get your own opinion, but I don't think it's worth the $30 at its current state. Feels far too much like early access than a full on game. I'll change my review to a more positive one, if things change or get better in the experience I may have in this game.

Very fun.
