I purchased Stalker 2 from Instant Gaming back in 2022, and I actually got my code yesterday. I legit had doubts, but these guys are solid!
In my opinion it is a good game, sure there are some problems but that will surely be fixed soon. Try it yourself
Return of the good old Stalker franchise, it's as buggy as ever, but really fun.
  • Graphics are quite good
  • Story is great
  • Replayability potential is big
  • Bugs, that can sometimes softlock you or corrupt your saves
  • Optimization is not there yet
Was waiting for this for soo long. Very nice game indeed.
  • Graphics
  • Story
  • Replayability
  • Minor Bugs
Game crashed 4 times in 2h gameplay 10/10
Aside from some little bugs, corrected by now, it's an incredible immersive experience. GO FOR IT!
  • Graphics
  • Immersion
  • Dev team follow up
  • A few bugs
  • Optimisation
Needs optimization, when inside safezones, fun gunplay and story. Already 270+ mods
  • Gunplay
  • Story
  • Graphics
  • Major FPS drops in crowded areas
  • Frametime issue when Frame Generators enabled
Fast delivery as always! But as for the game!
  • Big world and many places to explore!
  • Cool story so far!
  • Scary and actionfilled combat! Gunplay top Notch!
not yet finished and clunky. Ai are aimbots
One of my favorite games so far
  • Gorgeous designed world to explore
  • Not recommended for low end CPU's and GPU's
i can not launch game.I can not download catches. I did not bought this game to make hot water i want to play it
unoptimized for now with noticable fps dips and crashes, dont waste money

The feeling of being in the zone is the best, i like it alot. Got at good vibe and nice atmosphere. Also good story :) Artifact hunting is fun and difficult, poses a nice challenge.
This game literally lets you enter the zone. It almost feels real. It needs some fine-tuning, that is true, but the devs address the issues constantly.
The purchase was as smooth as always. IG always is the vendor to turn to for me.
I love this game, I had a lot of hours playing it. However gets very boring over time cause gets repetitive and mutant are almost imposible to kill and dont give any loot.
  • Fun game
  • Good graphics
  • Fun story
  • Buggy
  • Get bored over time
Well, as a fan of the stalker series I can say that it is a raw diamond that'll be refined over time.
  • Story and Details
  • Replayability
  • Mods support
  • Some bugs
  • Optimization
I wasn't able to finish this game's story because of a game breaking bug (I need to talk to a guy but the "talk" key doesn't do anything. This is apparenly a common bug with no fix; if it happens with an important character the game is over for you)

I have had many game breaking bugs while playing this, but i was always able to find a solution on google; this last one has no workaround aside from downloading a mod that allows you to force missions to start/complete (but this is too much for me, I'm not a beta tester; also if you use this mod the game breaks even more)

This game is like a slot machine: you might get lucky, or not. Maybe you won't get any game breaking bugs, or maybe you'll waste time and money
  • it sometimes works
  • you might get lucky and get no bugs
  • awful preformance
  • npc IA is horrible and bugged
  • game breaking bugs
Very good game
  • Its stalker
  • It need a little more optimisation
Very fun game! Very good story!
Veeery good
Game have some bugs, but its great
Worth every penny and more
Beautiful game, not the easiest to play, just like old days.
  • Look
  • Feel
It's a great game for me as a fan of STALKER !
  • Atmosphere
  • Seemless open world
  • A-Life 2.0
  • Optimization
The game is still very buggy. Graphics are not as good as you would expect from UE5. Performance is still poor with a lot of stutters and slow frame times included. Story looks really uninspired. All in all: buy when below 30 CHF, if you really want to. Otherwise wait for the next 3 major updates. Game needs at least another year to be fully polished.
  • Cool loot
  • Okay exploration
  • Somewhat interesting locations
  • Bad english voice overs (sounds more like a Cyberpunk)
  • Boring story
  • Really bad performance
The game seems nice, but my laptop with an RTX 3050 isn't capable of running it. In the future, once I replace my current laptop, I'll give another try.
Very good game. As of December 24th, 2024, with the recent patches, the game works really well. There are still a lot of bugs to be fixed, but the experience is enjoyable!
  • beautifully crafted open world, with lots of exploration
  • amazing storyline
  • great itemization
  • day and night cycle changes too fast
  • the night is REALLY dark and the flashlight is too weak. Hard to see at night
  • Minor quest bugs
Best game i ever play
No matter what you expect, it will be better than that. Its how a true Open World S.T.A.L.K.E.R should be like.
It has Bugs yes, its called Anomalies. The Graphics are insane and the Gameplay is how it should be. The Story is deeply tangled in the Lore of the other Games and they put much effort in it. They also managed it again that you sh*t your Pants when a Bloodsucker jumps into you.
  • Graphics
  • Story
  • Gameplay
  • Bugs (Anomalies so its not a - Point)
  • Strong PC needed
The game is so poorly optimised that it runs like crap even with a RTX3060ti and an AMD Ryzen 7. It’s unpolished and buggy, don’t buy it until the developers decide to fix it.
