STALKER 2 is Buggy, Broken, and Brilliant
Stalker is one of the reasons I bought my first PC. It exemplifies everything I knew I would love about PC gaming. GSC, the Ukrainian development team put out a janky and messy game that both indicates what AAA has always been going for but also seemingly spits in the face of it. Released in 2007, yet being in development for nearly a decade, some of its gameplay systems and even aesthetics are indicative of games from its era yet it feels so unafraid of being offputting and weird. It feels so confident in itself that it doesn't relly care if you like it, and that led, partially, to the series being a huge success.
Almost two decades after the release of the first game, one of my biggest worries for Stalker 2 is that it would feel sanitised or more clinical. I was cautious of what years of reflection and, presumably, a bigger budget would do to it. I'm happy to report my fears were unfounded. This thing, though buggy, and incredibly messy, is Stalker through and through, and so much better for it.
Here's why you should play Stalker 2, and some of the reasons you may not like it anyway.
Stalker 2's opening sets the tone right. In this game, you play as Skif, a stalker making their way into the Zone, which is, as you might be able to guess a zone. It is walled off and secluded in the wake of a nuclear blast, and follow-up nuclear event in Chornobyl. You go in via a small hole in the wall with a machine gun, enough bullets to take down a small platoon, and a device to scan and harvest activity. A companion is aiding you through this section of the zone via radio, where you have to get out without being taken down by enemy soldiers. When you are double-crossed, stripped of your gear, and left with nothing but a pistol, you are forced to survive by yourself, with no guidance on how to handle the mutated fauna, and the strange anomalies threatening to kill you if you walk into the wrong part of the thicket.
In pursuit of an accurate reflection of my time with the game, I'm going to start with many of the reasons this game may be offputting. First, it is currently very glitchy, with player models moving weirdly, quest lines going wrong, and deaths that can't be explained. As well as this, performance is inconsistent. Some scenes work fantastically and flow smoothly, and some chug to a halt, requiring a complete restart to fix. When the game spends a few minutes compiling shaders on every bootup, this combination of problems can become incredibly grating.
As well as this, the English voice acting is truly terrible, with the very best voices being barely palatable. It has many elements that I think would be considered bad design, in heavy quotations, in other games. Some of the ways that this game intentionally halts progress and kicks you out of certain quests and requires you to bang your head against enemy encounters to get to the other side, feel like things that just don't exist in huge budget games. I love plenty of 'AAA' games but with so many people working on them, you can often see the trial-by-consensus attitude that makes some of them feel quite similar.
Of course, Stalker 2 isn't a revolutionary game, it's not going to uproot what it means to play games or set a precedent that everything is going to follow but it it feels so committed to its own bit that it's hard not to instantly fall in love with it.
Going back to the way it strips you of that power. This is a fairly common trope in games, often intended to drip-feed what it's like to understand the many game systems, then take it away to give you something to work towards. You are shown power, to tell you what you should be aiming for. Stalker 2 uses it, instead to strip power away and use that power to exemplify how hopeless everything is. Ripping things off you at the start isn’t just a goal and reason to level up, it’s a declaration of intent
The world of Stalker is dark, desperate, and scrappy. If you let your gun get into disrepair, you will find it jamming, and maybe just whipping a knife out and charging that remaining soldier is the only way to narrowly avoid getting slaughtered. Bodies often fall to a single shot in the head but even their inventory only holds a couple of bullets and equally broken gear. This not only avoids making you too powerful but serves to show how close to the edge every character is.
There are no signposted level-up systems in Stalker 2 but there are plenty of ways to upgrade yourself. You get new gear, new attachments for weapons, and can spend your hard-earned coupons to get just a little more damage out of your gun. See, this isn't just a way to make fights go quicker, it's an important strategy to avoid spending too much of your ammo to get to your next objective.

Im at the point where the game is expecting me to play like its call of duty can't wait for mods so i can fix the crap movement and shooting.
Wow, excellent review! Your thoughts mirror mine exactly. Sure, what I like the game to be in a more optimal state, of course, but for the time being, I am having a really really great time. The game is so stupidly immersive, and the sound design deserves so many accolades. The game feels made for ME. Someone that has 3k hours in PUBG and who’s favorite genre is survival horror, also with the long treks and planning of Death Stranding, another divisive game that I loved.
Bots hating on spider man 2 for a few bugs but LOVE THIS BUGGY MESS 😂😂😂 MAKE IT MAKE SENSE . Xbox is dead
Nice work, James!
Bad voice acting? Have you played recent games? This is like Shakespeare compared. Be fair
Great game for about 30 minutes, the then the stutters, stalls and FPS drops started. Totally unplayable now. Tried all the PC performance tweaks I could find…nothing worked. I have requested a refund and will buy it again later when all the crap is purged.
Clearly the fanbase for this game is retarded. Any other game released in this state would be DOA.
Game runs fine if you turn everything to medium and foliage to low. I haven’t experienced any other bugs after 15 hours. Also, don’t save in the poppy field, it’ll crash upon loading.
I have an older system Ryzen 7 3800x 32gb ram and a RX5700xt and I get well over 60fps at 1080p with everything on epic settings and I have not had a problem yet...
Everyone’s complaining about the preformance and I’m complaining that the story and game is a completely scripted experience. Everyone has the exact same experience. We all find the same upgrades in the same order and all move through out the game the same. That’s not stalker. Let alone the Alife isn’t even working. The ai is just being spawned right in front of me. I have a 4070 ti super so I get 200fps at 2k and it looks incredible. But go into a settlement with people and it dives to 60-100fps… cpu bottleneck
I bought the game on Xbox fortunately I got a refund. I don’t see how anybody could like this game. It’s just awful just straight awful. Easily 10 years out of date
The video is so good that ima watch it one more time. Greetings from Ukraine, appreciate your support. Good hunting, stalker.
how can they release a game in this state and call it ultimate edition wtf
Play it on xbox and say that
Game is amazing imo!
Dude when I found a 45 extended mag for my AK! I got so hyped lol its the small things this game offers lol
Its aight, but PVE Tarkov is just mountains better, and only getting better. This is a solo experience, whereas on tarkov you get both. Its more money, but WAY more developed and you 100% get your moneys worth. This might be a decent thing in a year or so depending on how they ramp it up, but I cant imagine this ever being a replacement. Tarkov still supreme ruler of this genre, its not even close
You obviously don’t know what stalker is, this is a story game, eft has no story/story missions like stalker 2 it’s just quests you do in a raid. This isn’t a generic realism shooter like tarkov
Stalker isn't meant to be Tarkov goofy
@@leon30517 I know, but you cant deny the premise and style of game only gained popularity since Tarkov. Just commented on how the pve, solo experience of tarkov, is far better than this. Just voicing my opinion, got it boobear?
@@UMadUCauseBad Idc Tarkov shouldn't even be part of the discussion if we are talking vanilla Stalker by GSC
Acting like tarkov launch worked perfectly.😂
If you like this you will LOVE stalker gamma.
No you won’t, I’m tired of people recommending gamma. Just play vanilla anomaly or add 1 or 2 mods. Gamma is not stalker it’s just eft with anomalies and mutants
@Fjdjfjsz92938 dont tell people they wont like something just cause you dont like it. Its great you dont like. Dont play it. For ALOT of others its absolutely amazing. How arrogent to say noone should enjoy it cause YOU dont like it, just ignore it and live your life. I love it, its brutal and the progression is great, and its highly customizable.
GAMMA is absolutely amazing. My favorite game of 2022, hands down.
....wait....i only had a pistol when i went into the zone....you had a machine gun??!?!?!? What
"this game is so buggy and janky!" but I played for 8 hours yesterday and had zero game breaking bugs??
Fr? It's like peoples experiences differ because of their specs? Outrageous!

@@KazBodnar no i am running buttery smooth actually But even if The problem is turning down the graphics don't help for some people Like bro take a look on some performance videos for god's sake Just because you don't have problems doesn't mean other people also don't
Based review. I need to get off work so I can get back in the zone.
TH-camrs are the worst, man. The game is playing smoothly on Xbox, they must have had a quick patch or something. But because of TH-camrs trying to release their review before anyone else now everybody is saying this game is broken... I feel sad for the team behind STALKER 2, going through so much just for a bunch of no-life people complaining about their efforts 😬
Your on Xbox, every Xbox has the same specs. Not every person has built their pc the same but even then it seems like stalker 2 runs pretty bad no matter what specs your pc has, I have a pretty good pc and it struggles with running it above 60 fps WITH dlss
Xbox not really that smooth and the dead zone sensitivity is broken and gliding
The game's performance and optimization is on par if not worse than Cyberpunk's at launch and you call that good? 😂
Fuck off, got a PC system that completely shits on you're Xbox in raw power but this game is so fucked in the way it was released,it's needing duck tape to hold it together. So excuse the rest of us not running the game at 720p dynamic resolution medium settings console hogwash to achieve you're "smooth performance".

I clicked on your video because I liked your words: "Buggy, Broken and Brilliant". It shows some skill with language. And I was not disappointed,. I played the older Stalker games, and I´m happy they stay true to the world they built. But I will wait a bit to give them time to patch it.
So broken that it’s actually overrated and an easy ignore on my list
tarkov still supreme ruler

That was a very informative review, thank you!
Dude ive watched some of your vids quite some time back and had been subbed since. Just got here from your Stalker2 vid and thought "how the hell do you only have 500 subscribers" ?!? Keep it going 🎉
Thank you. I really appreciate that! The channel has grown quite a bit over the last few months and comments like yours really help motivate me to keep going
Nice review. I already played about 5 hours of Stalker 2. So far haven't seen any crazy bugs, but maybe as a 35yo gamer I am used to the old buggy messes, haha.
This review is spot on
As a Ukrainian, I sincerely thank you for your rewiev! And also thank you for understanding the circumstances under which this game was made. Air raid sirens several times a day and constant shelling of our cities, friends and relatives fighting, dying or injured, all this, to put it mildly, is extremely difficult. This game is a kind of symbol for us. This success gives us hope. The guys from GSC somehow did it, and somehow it turned out pretty decent. So, maybe we can also succeed and somehow survive as a nation. It is grim out here.
Thank you. That means a lot. Their efforts definitely come through
OG stalker fan here, this video was fucking great. To see your subscriber count and the quality of your content surprised me honestly, all I can say is there is most definitely a place on TH-cam for content creators like you. Keep putting in the hard work and the effort you’ve put into this video and you’ll grow one day. It’s always a coin flip but keep up this content man, great video.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! Very happy to see this one connecting with some and can’t wait to make more
This was a solid review, genuinely
Pretty damn hard also, the second enemy I fought was a bloodthirster seconds after the anomaly tutorial. Medium difficulty seems unbalanced put 3 mags into it.
@MrDabomb647 They go down quick with armor piercing bullets. Til then pretty much can take one down without getting touched by them. Controllers tho.... Literally a boss.
great vid
Clicked in a heartbeat
I feel like you are putting way too much emphasis on the gun, it’s an accessibility option and nothing more.
not mentioning valheim in that first 15 seconds is criminal
I’ve had my eye on this game for a while now and I think I’ll take this video popping up in my notifications as a sign to finally get it
@@brandawgz do! And let me know what you think! Thank you for watching
good analysis, would recommend to increase framerate for better quality
Thanks! Yeah, the goal is to continue making these videos as high quality as possible
I would honestly love to hear more thoughts from you on Call of Duty in general. It's an extremely interesting and messy franchise but I think the campaigns aren't often given that much attention or critique beyond like, their value as a popcorn action flick or one-note arguments poorly suited for the Twitter threads that spawn them.
Yeah I totally agree here. I think there’s a nuance to them that feels left out a lot that I’d love to explore in more depth. Even for the military funding argument, I saw tones of tweets and posts about it based on just feeling, which isn’t necessarily a problem to think, but hard to really argue fairly. I’m quite critical of this series in a lot of ways and I think I’d really struggle with the character limit on it. I’ll hopefully do a much bigger video some day! Thanks for watching
i enjoy the hell out of Dead Island 2 the game does have its faults here and there but other than that I don't really get mad as much about I'm not mad at developers too since they only had three years of development on this game if they had just a little bit more time they probably would have made the game as great as the first one.
Yup I'm glad someone made a video on this, probably the best written side mission in video game history. Hope more people see this to replay the game if they missed this mission or play cyberpunk in general.
Y they make sam b look so gay
Great video! Can't wait to see more from you. Your delivery is really professional, the only thing that you could improve is the audio quality - the slight buzzing from your microphone is a little distracting.
Thanks for your feedback! 100% agree on the mic. I’ll get a better quality one in the future and that should help
I was a huge fan of the first Dead Island and DLC. Once upon a time, i was excited about this game, when we all saw the trailer. Then the delays came and the final hit was the EPIC exclusive deal. Completely lost interest from that moment forwards.
This game had so muh potential. It literally is a rinse and repeat type of game. To much time spent on visuals rather than gameplay
