S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has been in development since 2012 and has defied all odds by launching this November.
It had mixed user reviews, ranging from 0 to 10 on Metacritic, indicating that the game truly has a cult following and many new gamers want to try and experience what made the first game great and iconic.
Reviews ranging from poor optimization to fantastic graphics, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is one of the most polarizing titles of 2024.
