One of Stalker 2 ’s biggest missed opportunities is its narrative, which fails to deliver a concise or coherent story. While the campaign has some promise, it’s bogged down by a plodding narrative arc, where the objectives you tackle and the conclusions you reach are often repetitive and unsatisfying.

A Ukrainian-made mix of survival horror and first person shooter, whose branching narrative and complex open world is one of the most impressive gaming has ever seen.

So far, severe bugs have been adding the wrong kind of friction to this refreshingly brutal single-player FPS.
