Strong survival horror gameplay with rewarding exploration.
Challenging and weighty combat, where running sometimes is the best option.
Absolutely dripping with atmosphere, amplified by great visuals and audio.
Good story, supported by well-written and interesting characters.

Subjective, but the more linear nature may disappoint some people.
Annoyingly limited inventory spaces, often taken up by key-quest items.

The atmosphere is top-notch and very spooky.
Genuinely scary and tense in places.
The item economy is pretty well balanced.
A variety of difficulty levels allows you to find your own challenge.

Combat can be clunky and awkward.

The two main characters can feel a little dry.
It just lacks that certain something that makes the genre greats stand out.

Boss fights are slowed down by inventory management.
The only opponent of Stalker is weak - both in terms of design and level of threat.
The feedback on hits and gameplay could be more impactful and satisfying.

Movies Games and TechStory is well written. A story of Calvin and Faye with a Lovecraftian setting
Visuals are amazing, both in the environment and also in the horror. Enjoyable to come across new and unique creatures as you progress
Another positive for how the horror is executed. Relies on atmosphere and tension rather than excessive jump scares
Does the survival horror style justice. Does not try to reinvent the wheel and instead focuses on executing it well
Many, many improvements from the originals critiques. For example, combat is smooth and polished or a linear approach rather than open world

Inventory management is a bit too restrictive. Inventory is shared with weapons, resources and key items and it doesn't feel like enough even after unlocking more space
Some gameplay features and character visuals are locked behind needing to complete the base game. Pandering to NG+ instead of allowing players to use these the first time around
Day one DLC that's around two hours of content. Should have been included in the base game instead of being locked behind a 12.99 ? paywall
