Hot on the heels of STALKER 2 patch 1.0.1, which had over 650 fixes for the game on PC and Xbox, GSC Game World has released STALKER 2 Heart of Chornobyl

Not that a lot of post-apocalyptic first-person shooters are, but STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is especially not for the faint of heart. It’s built to generate the kind of friction that goes a long way in creating a challenging and punishing game that’s also captivating.

Ahead of its release, Digital Trends received a PC copy of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl that was plagued with more technical issues than we typically see in a review build this close to launch.

Forged in adversity, this Ukrainian-developed shooter delivers a beautiful open-world survival-shooter like no other.

Heart of Chornobyl, one of the most haunting survival horror games I have ever played and unlike anything else in the genre. The game’s chilling sound design, incredible storytelling, and demanding combat come together to deliver on that central premise.
