why i HATE S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2： Heart of Chornobyl

Calls the sequel boring, repetitive, Fallout-like, with a bland world and dull mutants, weapons, and combat. His £1,000 RTX 4050 laptop managed only 5–7 FPS despite low settings and DLSS, indicating severe optimization problems. Rejects favorable reviews, condemns weak AI and grenade mechanics, rates it 3.5/10, and advises against buying.

His review favors distinctive, polished gameplay over hyped releases and technical ambition.
