I've started playing Stalker 2 last night and this post was just in very good timing. Can't wait for more!

I've had some saving issues (I play the Gamepass version through Gamepass). Lost almost 15 hours til now. Still, can't think of dropping the game. GOTY!

Thanks for your post, Stalker. Keep playing, keep writing!

did you lose saves or had you not saved in awhile? I haven't seen many bugs. It's so atmospheric. I did get annoyed by being unable to do any platforming successfully to pick up a stash, only to have bandits walk in every 30 seconds while I'm attempting...

Lost saves. It was an known issue in GeForceNOW + Gamepass, solved now. Yeah, the game has some bugs, spawn's messed up, vaulting is bad in some places, but I'm really enjoying it. The game's pretty good and it's gonna be better in some time. Let's go.

Unsurprisingly, this is fantastic!

I fell hard for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games long ago and have watched some of the movie adaptation of Roadside Picnic in the last six to eight months or so… this really felt of a part with the source material! No mean feat given the amount of more gonzo, OSR-adjacent material out there that is seeking to emulate the post-apocalyptic style/genre.

Really looking forward to more of this but also to getting to play Niv Lova!
