Stalker 2 is my current main. It's been a bit of a magical mystery tour because I haven't played any of the previous games in the series.
I only recently realised that I could place artefacts in slots to benefit from certain passive boosts, but I've only found a couple of similar ones so far anyway.
Some of the early encounters I really struggled with (by the skin of my teeth at times), especially when attacked by those disappearing mutants. And some of the gunfights have been super intense. I've found that camping in a well protected spot and letting as many enemies come to me as possible has been a solid tactic so far.
The map seems vast. I've only explored the Lesser Zone and the Garbage Zone so far and there has been plenty to explore. On revisiting the first settlement I walked into a massive gunfight during a thunderstorm, which was pretty cool. I'm just about to head off towards a third zone as I follow the main mission.
I'm still a little puzzled by a few things. There's a massive bubble anomaly early on, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. Throwing bolts at it doesn't seem to have the same effect as the small ones, so I'm stumped.
I got stuck on an area where these orbs would appear and explode within a second, but I eventually sussed it out. There seem to be a lot of areas that are puzzles to figure out, which I think is pretty unique for this kind of game.
It's still early doors, but I'm really enjoying it.
