S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Deluxe Edition Steam Digital Key

A lone stalker's journey through the Zone

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl drops you into the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone after a second catastrophic explosion in 2006 has reshaped it into a hostile, radioactive wilderness. You take on the role of a stalker exploring a seamless 64 square kilometre open world, drawn in by rumours of artifacts worth a fortune and by whatever truth is said to lie in the Heart of Chornobyl.

The game blends first-person shooting, horror and immersive sim mechanics. Expect branching story paths leading to different endings, over 30 weapon types with modifications that can be combined in hundreds of ways, and mutated creatures with varied behaviour models that make them unpredictable. Survival systems such as hunger, bleeding, sleep and radiation, along with a dynamic day-night cycle and weather, add weight to every excursion into the Zone.
