Stalker 2 Previews Extremely Positive; Clear Game of The Year Contender

Expert Verified By

The Delays Were Worth It!

Story Highlight
  • Stalker 2’s recent hands-on previews are extremely positive, indicating a successful launch. 
  • One of the previews even called the game a clear Game of the Year contender. 
  • It also delivers a solid narrative experience, and there seems to be a lot of freedom during missions. 

Stalker 2 has been delayed multiple times, but that didn’t destroy its hype. In fact, this game was voted gamers‘ most anticipated game this year in a major poll. The previous previews were very positive, but despite that, the game was delayed

However, it is better for a game to be delayed, as a rushed release doesn’t benefit anyone, and we have learned that best from Cyberpunk 2077’s release. That said, the delays for the upcoming FPS survival horror were worth it, as the recent hands-on previews are extremely positive

Why it matters: Stalker 2 has already been delayed multiple times, but fans didn’t lose hope in this game, and it seems like they were right not to.

Stalker 2 Hands-on Previews Are Way More Positive Than Expected

Many media outlets had the courtesy of having hands-on experience with this game and have nothing but good things to say about it. Shinobi602 has compiled their thoughts and posted them on Twitter

The game seems to have left an impression that the Ukrainian Developer has created something special.

With just the hands-on impression, a media outlet called it a clear Game of the Year contender, which indicates the game is really good. It is also pretty high on Steam’s most wish-listed games, so fans are pretty excited about this one. 

The previews also highlighted the refreshing challenge of managing resources like ammunition and food to survive in this title. The game design also seems quite flexible, meaning you can skip various objectives during a mission. 

Stalker 2 seems to have given players much freedom, which is what gamers love. Another unique thing was that NPCs can end the quest without rewarding you if you decide to loot the dead body of their friend. 

The enemy AI seems to be quite smart, too. Also, a preview highlighted that Stalker 2 goes ‘unexpectedly hard’ on the narrative delivery. The developers seem to have created a masterpiece that will be one of this year’s talks.
