Selling over 1 million copies within less than 48 hours from its launch, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart of Chornobyl has proven to be a success. With 17 years since the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl's release back in 2007,

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has sold an amazing one million plus copies despite being out for fewer than three days. That’s one heck of an accomplishment, considering it’s been fifteen years since the last game in the series game came out and Ukrainian developer GSC Game World is rightly pleased.

STALKER 2’s solid gunplay picks up a lot of the slack in its combat’s faults. Whipping around a decked-out assault rifle with a nice red dot sight to make headshots easy, or pumping shells into a mutant from a fully modded shotgun and slowing its charge with their impact had me looking forward to those high-stakes, kill-or-be-killed situations.
