This game is available on GOG on November 20th (and presumably Steam, too. It's the sequel to a post-apocalyptic horror/RPG.

I loved the first one. It certainly didn't hold your hand, and there is no humour, but it was compelling enough to keep me engaged all the way through. An excellent game. Hopefully the sequel will be as good or better.

I'm off to check it out, hagatha! Thank you.

I ordered it too, on GOG. I'll be interested to see if it runs on my Steam Deck. I really enjoy using it, and the only real drawback is not being able to see some things because they're too small on the screen. There is nothing nicer than playing a game in front of the fire on a cold day.

Holy smokes! Just got the notice and it was $110!!! Uh, that's a hard no! It was the Ultimate Edition, but still... The standard edition is $60, but I think I'll wait on this one.

I suspect this is similar to Metro Exodus (a pretty good game which I enjoyed), a post-apocalyptic action game with exploration, inventory, crafting, etc. -- a la Bethesda's Fallout games, but with less "busywork" and more "focused" gameplay. The original Stalker was similar too. The first time I played Stalker I immediately thought that it tried to "do Fallout."

Metro Exodus remains one of my favorite games!

The regular verson of Stalker 2 is $79, without all the fluff.

I have Metro Exodus. Too many games, not enough time

The game is now officially called "Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl," instead of "Chernobyl," which is the Russian spelling of the word, as opposed to the Ukrainian spelling "Chornobyl." The developers are Ukrainian.
