• Hello everyone, I can say that it is a great experience to see the Stalker series that I love to play with updated graphics and a great atmosphere. However, some technical problems can prevent you from enjoying it enough. Since the release date is constantly postponed, I was expecting to encounter a slightly problematic game, and that is what happened.

• I encountered optimization-related problems rather than bugs in the game. For example, when you go from one area to another, the instant fps drops from 100 to 20. However, this is not because the graphics card is not powerful enough; it is seen that the graphics card is being used 100%, but the power it consumes is almost halved. This actually shows that the graphics card is not working at full power. Of course, your fps drops at the same rate accordingly. This situation changes as you move around the game or go to different areas. The game received two major updates and many problems were fixed, but the optimization problems I mentioned have not been fixed yet.

• In addition, I should say that I am playing the game on a 2k monitor. Accordingly, I noticed that the RAM consumption was high, that is, 16 GB of RAM may not be enough for such games because my system was using around 20 GB of RAM. Even if you play at 1080P resolution, your RAM usage will still be high. It is useful to pay attention to this situation.

• In general, the atmosphere is very nice, it is very enjoyable especially when playing in the evenings. However, I could not progress much in the story due to the problems and I do not plan to progress until they are solved, so I am constantly doing side quests. Frankly, I did not want to finish such a game with such optimization problems. When the problems are solved, I will complete the story quests and update my review again to give information about the story progress.

Have fun!
