S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Deluxe Edition - (PC) Steam EUROPE Digital Key
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl for PC is a first person shooter (FPS)
horror survival game, the fourth in the highly popular S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. It
is a single-player game that has been in development for the best part of 11
years as the studio developing the game went through various financial and legal
issues, but is here at last and more than lives up to the anticipatory promise!
ABOUT THE GAME
The game is a blend of first person shooter action, combined with an immersive
simulation game and a horror game, all rolled into one and sent out into the
world with an atmospheric open world for you to explore – if you are brave
enough!
You are one of a motley band of stalkers, which stands for: Scavengers,
Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers and Robbers, who live on
the fringes of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone making a meagre living as best they
can. The stalkers make a living (and you play the game) by venturing into the
heart of the contamination Zone to see what adventures and quests lie before
you.
The game is set in an alternate reality, where a second explosion wrought even
more havoc on the surrounding area than the real 1986 event. This has created
all sorts of uncanny changes to the known world, affecting, flora, fauna and
everything else besides! (See more details about these antagonists below.)
The Zone, and the area surrounding it, are moderately well populated with your
fellow stalkers, but there is no such thing as friendship within the Zone.
However, after a strenuous and successful battle, you might find likely kindred
souls sitting around a campfire who you can join for a moment of respite and
some campfire tales, before heading off again on your next quest.
As they say in the Zone: you never get used to the Zone. There is no room for
complacency or relaxation in this atmospheric and genuinely creepy locale!
THE NITTY GRITTY
The game features a huge story tree in which your decisions will affect not only
the small immediate decisions but they will send ripples and tweak the entire
length of the storyline arc, so decisions made in haste in the early stages
could well become a source of extreme regret later on!
With a decent inventory to hand, you can be armed with various weapons and
gadgets that help you avoid the worst dangers, as long as you are smart,
cautious and careful. These include devices such as telescopic lenses, Geiger
counters, and anomaly detectors.
Fight your way to the heart of Chernobyl and see what there is to find lurking
in the depths of this wasteland – it is a waste land, yes, but it is definitely
not barren…
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
A partial list of enemies and traps in the zone include:
Anomalies – these nasty traps are soft spots in the area which only the unwary –
and soon to be dead – wander into. You can spot them by the wavering glints in
the air, and test them out by chucking rocks and logs into them to see if they
fall normally or if something painful happens to them instead
Mutants – in the years since the meltdown, something weird has happened to
cells, both human and animal, in the zone. And the resulting creatures are not
very happy about this at all…
Some objects in the Zone have become powerful artefacts that are always valuable
and that might help you – or they might vaporise you! Finding out which is…
interesting
