I'm far more likely to give the game a positive review despite some optimization issues.

I run a 3070Ti With most of the settings on High with a couple of outliers.

I will admit that going into a 'hub' area will tank frames for about 5-10 seconds.

Despite all of this:
I love this game. I love the gunplay. I adore the managing of funds to handle equipment maintenance. I've never gushed about sound design this much in a game. Every gunshot, every ambient noise is sublime. Sound design and ambiance alone would make me give this game a positive review and the folks who worked on it deserve a medal. I understand the woes of some players. I understand how some of the die hards might find the game a bit too easy. But as someone who only played about 10 hours of call of pripyat: I've thoroughly enjoyed my time so far and would recommend the game to anyone that has a decent PC. I've only seen two bugs in my 11 hours of playtime (1 visual and 1 involving a wounded NPC).

If your PC is a bit weaker, I would recommend coming back and checking in February of 2025, I would imagine some of the major pressing issues would be ironed out by then.

I will continue to enjoy this labor of love that I've been thoroughly immersed in.

Good hunting Stalkers.

Had a queen that disdains power. 10/10 Game worth a buy.

While there are some hiccups in terms of balance. And it does suck when the RNG gods just hate you. This is a solid game with a decent story. I can easily sink a lot of hours just to search for 4 bullets only to haul ass back to town to buy some twinkies.

7/10
Relatively relaxed and slightly addicting. But very shallow overall. Worth a buy on sale.

9/10
A lot of people are talking about technical issues with their games. I'm not having any, maybe my computer parts match just right with the game I don't know. If you liked the first one you'll like this one. It builds upon it. I like the music and Voice acting. It's a lot of fun.

Just buy it. Grab some soda, and have a good time.

It's simple, I like it.

Let me start this by saying: I want this to be a good game. I really do. I've always loved legos. Which is why it hurts me to say this: In the state it's in, it's bad. Here are my complaints. The sound of discovering something, whenever you discover something you will have a sound effect play. Every. Single. Time. I've only played 30 minutes or so and I wouldn't play the game without sound now, the sound is just really annoying to me. (Maybe not to others but it's the same thing repeated over an' over.) My next topic is the driving. While the controls are just "okay" the camera you have while driving is aweful. The camera bounces around like the shake cams in the Hunger Games movies. It only is relieved if the platform your driving on is a COMPLETELY flat surface. While this shakiness could be "okay" I guess for a normal car in the city, it shouldn't be this way on a hilly surface in an all terrain vehicle. That brings me to my last topic: the camera, I could suck it up with everything else on this list, BUT, this one thing alone is what made me want to return the game after 30 minutes. The camera likes to zoom ALLLLLLLLLL the way into the mountain if im climbing up a hill! It will fly inside a hill/ mountain and remain there with the blocks kinda translucent but looking at nothing except the ground. The camera gave me a headache very quickly. I couldnt go up hills or it would fly into it. The only remedy if found was walking up hills and mountains but that still has the camera zoom in VERY far. It goes to where you're watching your little lego feet moving. It drove me nuts and I find it unacceptable that no one noticed this before releasing as a beta when it's such a simple task to do.

To recap what I think are the major flaws:
1. Lack of creating custom vehicles.
2. Annoying sound effects/ effects of discovering something.
3. The Vehicles' cameras being overly shaking. (and nauseating)
4. The camera struggling to follow the most basic movements.

Where the game sits. I give it a 3/10. Don't spend you're money right now, your head will thank you later.

Let me start out with this: Yes it is free to play. However free to play does not mean that you should add so many micro transactions... Every unlockable in this game is micro transactions... Let that sink in... Not to mention the fact that most unlockeables must require a certain level of your character. So have fun grinding for no rewards except for a lessened wallet. I will admit they are cheap for the most part. But for ANYTHING in the game, its not acceptable. The gun sound affects are ok. But scoping feels awful and for the most part all of the spawns are mainly camped. It gets only worse on a outdoor map. Not the greatest clone of Ace of Spades which was a clone of Minecraft but with guns.

This is one of those games that's great to read off what's going on with your friends on skype. Quirkyness is throughout the game and even poking fun at itself in a way that doesnt seem dumb as much as funny. When you have someone sit one 10$ too hard and ruined it, you laugh at the thought of your friend doing that. On the contrary you get angry when someone breaks a bone just from sitting in a car (Playful angry) Gameplay feels alright overall and seems pretty fun if you can be open minded to a game so retro. I'd give it: Zombie bite/5
