S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Gameplay Walkthrough Showcases Anomalies, Enemies, Weapons, and More

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest deep dive into S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has left me utterly captivated and eagerly anticipating its release. The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in this universe is as far from a holiday destination as one can get, and I for one cannot wait to immerse myself in the treacherous swamps and radioactive wastelands that GSC Game World has so meticulously crafted.


Recounting a substantial exploration by GSC Game World into the eagerly awaited title, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, the developer has stayed true to their word by providing a comprehensive overview. Besides offering fresh insights on the game’s expansive open world, its focus on decision-making autonomy, and other aspects, this detailed analysis also offers a glimpse into an entire mission within the game itself.

In the fictional world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is far from a vacation spot, and the demo makes that abundantly clear. The mission at hand involves protagonist Skif, a complex yet reserved character, deactivating multiple beacons located across a marshy region (a setting familiar to fans of the original trilogy). This task aims to grant access to a crucial location.

As Skif progresses, he stumbles upon numerous challenges along the way. To be sure, there are various unusual occurrences players may face within the game, ranging from areas of fiery explosions and sudden mini-whirlwinds to those that can actually aid in specific scenarios, such as an anomaly that nullifies fall damage within its influence zone.

In my gaming adventures, I’ve come across a diverse array of adversaries beyond mere anomalies. For instance, there are the deceptive pseudodogs, who bring along spectral clones that mimic the genuine article, making them hard to distinguish. Then there are the relentless zombies, who seem to resurrect unless you put a bullet through their skulls. The Controller is another formidable foe, dishing out psi radiation with every strike. And let’s not forget unique entities such as Bayun the Cat, who feign distress and offer help to attract unwitting victims, much like stalkers in need.

Just as a diverse range of items exists within the game, there are approximately 35 distinct types of weapons to choose from. Moreover, you’ll discover numerous ways to customize and upgrade these weapons, ensuring that even when two players wield the same weapon, their functionality may vary greatly due to individual modifications.

Additional topics covered in the comprehensive analysis include various adversary groups and their behavioral patterns, evolving weather conditions and lightning effects, enhancements to artificial intelligence of enemies, strategies for adjusting game difficulty, and other related aspects. For a complete overview, delve into the entire analysis below.

The upcoming video game titled “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl” has been postponed from its initial September launch, and is now expected to be available on November 20 for both Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms. Keep an eye out for further updates on the game during Gamescom, which takes place next week.
