In less than a day, the Ukrainian game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has gathered so many reviews in the world that it's hard to count.
"Even on my weak PC, the game ran, I'm very happy, thanks to GSC! I've been waiting for this masterpiece since the days of the Gamecocks, and when the project was closed, I was very upset," STEAM users write.
Overall, most comments are positive, but many complain about graphics and optimization. The developers promise to fix all the issues and bugs.
The comments even joke that "these are not bugs, they are anomalies.
According to Metacritic, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl on PC is rated 74 out of 100 points, while Xbox users rate the game at 81 points. This is quite an expected statistic, as the game on PC has higher technical requirements.
As for the complexity of the game, gamers were divided into two camps.
"I turned it on in the "Beginner" mode and died 15 times in the prologue alone. It's difficult, scary and very interesting," one of the game's users told UNN journalist.
Of course, the Russians could not ignore the comments, as they had been "appropriating" the Ukrainian game for many years.
It's worth noting that there is no Russian voice acting in the game, only subtitles, which makes it incredibly frustrating for Russians, because "the atmosphere of the game is unbelievable.
But, in the end, they still buy the game, knowing that the proceeds will go to the Armed Forces, albeit through gritted teeth.
Recall
Yesterday, on November 20, after the release of STALKER 2, Ukrainian providers reported overloading of main channels due to massive downloads of the game. Users across the country are experiencing a significant decrease in internet speed.
