STALKER 2 reviews and Metacritic score roundup: Does GSC’s open-world sequel live up to the hype?

Finally, after a 14-year wait, we’re now ready to experience STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Resurrected in 2018 and initially scheduled for 2022 release, but postponed until later this year due to the Russian conflict in Ukraine, the highly anticipated hardcore open-world FPS is finally here. As I type this on its launch day, just moments before it hits Xbox and Windows PCs, a flood of reviews have been published online following the lifting of the review embargo.

STALKER 2 is hardly a perfect game, but The Zone still captivates me like no other open world can

14 years following its initial unveiling in 2010, five years after its reintroduction in 2018, and two years after the initially planned 2022 release date, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is now set to debut on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and Xbox Game Pass. This review has been published mere hours before the game’s official debut, allowing countless players to delve into its open-world single-player shooter experience as they embark upon their adventure within the in-game representation of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, commonly referred to as “The Zone”.
