Xbox Wire’s Danielle Partis is not a fan of scary games, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl – which launches today on Xbox Series X|S and PC – is a first-person survival journey where The Zone encompasses a “unique, complex and compelling setting to unravel.”
She writes, “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is an open world affair, in which you’re expected to fend for yourself in brutal and unpredictable situations, where basically any living thing you come across can and will hurt you. For those unfamiliar with the series, it is paramount to stay prepared – as with any survival game, you’ll need to constantly be on the hunt for weapon ammo, medical supplies and food. Not to mention, this entire habitat is one giant, quarantined hazard, brimming with monsters, environmental anomalies and of course, radiation.”
