I purchased Stalker 2 from Instant Gaming back in 2022, and I actually got my code yesterday. I legit had doubts, but these guys are solid!
In my opinion it is a good game, sure there are some problems but that will surely be fixed soon. Try it yourself
Was waiting for this for soo long. Very nice game indeed.

  • Story
  • Replayability
  • Minor Bugs
Return of the good old Stalker franchise, it's as buggy as ever, but really fun.
  • Graphics are quite good
  • Story is great
  • Replayability potential is big
  • Bugs, that can sometimes softlock you or corrupt your saves
  • Optimization is not there yet
Fast delivery as always! But as for the game!
  • Big world and many places to explore!
  • Cool story so far!
  • Scary and actionfilled combat! Gunplay top Notch!
Needs optimization, when inside safezones, fun gunplay and story. Already 270+ mods
  • Gunplay
  • Story
  • Graphics
  • Major FPS drops in crowded areas
  • Frametime issue when Frame Generators enabled

The game is so poorly optimised that it runs like crap even with a RTX3060ti and an AMD Ryzen 7. It’s unpolished and buggy, don’t buy it until the developers decide to fix it.
GOTY 2024
With mods 10/10

  • Goty
Game crashed 4 times in 2h gameplay 10/10
fucking perfomance nightmare even for high end desctop
Really good game, if you love the first stalker you will love this one.

There is some minor problems, but they will be fix with patchs (I played it when it came out and it is still totaly playable)
  • Good story
  • Gameplay like STALKER
  • Minor game problems
Really a great game, I took some time to write this review because I wanted to test it a bit. After all those updates it became even better. If you liked the previous titles you will love this one
Aside from some little bugs, corrected by now, it's an incredible immersive experience. GO FOR IT!
  • Graphics
  • Immersion
  • Dev team follow up
  • A few bugs
  • Optimisation
pure shit cant pass shader compilation shader never play it after 3 week realese and 2 major patch
Is good, yes
  • Good
  • No
a bit buggy at the start of the game but now they fixed a lot of the bugs and is working good for me
  • is a good game
  • i dont know
10/10
  • I have my game :)
  • None
At lowest settings and at 720p game runs at 20fps. My rig exceeds minimum requirements and that's why I can't recommend this game. Probably fantastic once the game is properly patched up.
got the key, the key works, got the game
  • peak
  • need a beast of a pc
not even cyberpunk was this buggy
  • good gunplay
  • Framedrops
  • crashes
  • much more
unoptimized for now with noticable fps dips and crashes, dont waste money
Got the key on the 19th and saved a good amount of money! IG is worth it as always. :)
