Review of STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl by PC Gamer Magazine

The December issue of PC Gamer magazine was released today, which was dedicated to the post-apocalyptic shooter STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl . Let's talk briefly about the main elements of the game that were touched upon in a large informative article.

• Plot . 30 designers are working on the story of the sequel to STALKER 2. Players will need about 100+ hours to complete the entire game. It is also characterized by non-linearity, which is what the developers themselves are proud of.
• Survival . Now hunger and sleep will affect the gameplay even more. Hunger will affect stamina. A hungry player will have less strength, and accordingly will move more slowly. A well-fed player will run and move much faster. The player must also rest and sleep. If the player has not had sleep for more than a day, then this will reduce his vision and stamina. Auditory hallucinations may appear.
• Multiplayer . There will be no co-op in STALKER 2. The game will have three modes: PvP, deathmatch and team deathmatch.
• Grouping "Warta". If we imagine that the Zone is the Wild West, then the Warta group can be attributed to the lawmen. The leader is Colonel Alexander Korshunov, who was an experienced soldier in the past. It was he who created the army of mercenaries. The purpose of "Warta" is not the destruction of the Zone. They want to take control of the Zone.
• Fauna . A mutated deer will appear in the game. This animal is dangerous and can harm the player by sending psi attacks and summoning other mutated deer.

The release date for STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl is scheduled for April 28, 2022 on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
