Description

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


  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    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!

    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

    Beau graphisme, très compliqué à jouer, limite il faut un manuel, on passe beaucoup trop de temps à chercher des solutions pour se débloquer. En cours de partie, pas de didacticiel et, pour interagir, c'est très compliqué parce que les objets sont en surbrillance et donc confondus avec la totalité du décor, on ne sait pas où donner de la tête.

    Si vous êtes pas patient et aimez relever les défis, ne l'achetez surtout pas.

    This game literally lets you enter the zone. It almost feels real. It needs some fine-tuning, that is true, but the devs address the issues constantly.
    The purchase was as smooth as always. IG always is the vendor to turn to for me.

    Well, as a fan of the stalker series I can say that it is a raw diamond that'll be refined over time.

    I wasn't able to finish this game's story because of a game breaking bug (I need to talk to a guy but the "talk" key doesn't do anything. This is apparenly a common bug with no fix; if it happens with an important character the game is over for you)

    I have had many game breaking bugs while playing this, but i was always able to find a solution on google; this last one has no workaround aside from downloading a mod that allows you to force missions to start/complete (but this is too much for me, I'm not a beta tester; also if you use this mod the game breaks even more)

    This game is like a slot machine: you might get lucky, or not. Maybe you won't get any game breaking bugs, or maybe you'll waste time and money
    • it sometimes works
    • you might get lucky and get no bugs
    • awful preformance
    • npc IA is horrible and bugged
    • game breaking bugs
