Part 2/8:
Most reviewers agree that the introduction of STALKER 2 is a weak spot. Players are thrust into a confusing tutorial phase filled with poorly designed quests, leading to frustration. Newcomers to the series may find themselves lost or even quit early. However, a silver lining appears as players progress: initial reviews suggest that the game becomes significantly more engaging once players reach the second area. Patience may pay off for those willing to push through a rocky beginning.
