What you need to know
- GSC Game World's open-world survival shooter STALKER 2 came out last week on Xbox and PC, and while the game has been very successful and well-liked so far, it's not without issues.
- Chief among these are bugs with the AI simulation system A-Life 2.0, quests, and performance, but many players have also taken issue with aspects of STALKER 2's gameplay balance.
- Specifically, the community feels that several mutant enemies are too tanky and have too much health, and also that the cost of repairing your gear is too high relative to the amount of money you can make. Some also dislike how short the day/night cycle is.
- GSC has stated in the official STALKER Discord server that it's looking into ways to address these concerns in future updates, though patches will focus on bug fixes and performance improvements for now.
