Its failures arise mainly out of its great ambitions, which is why I'm so eager for the long-overdue Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Release date: Currently listed as December 2023, and if you believe that I've got a bridge in the Exclusion Zone to sell youĪndy Chalk, NA News Lead: Released in 2007, Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is perhaps the ultimate in Eastern European shooter-jank, demanding effort, patience, and a whole lot of forgiveness in exchange for immersion, intensity, and moments of absolutely balls-out terror. I need this to come out so I can finally stop playing its Realms Deep demo.
Team Fortune brings it home with a gloriously grungy sci-fi setting featuring the chunky, analogue, vacuum tube and rubber puppet stylings of a 2D Fallout or the Star Wars Expanded Universe (sorry, Legends).
The highlight is a peerless melee combat system that lets you pull off Devil May Cry combos in first person, flinging enemies into the air with sliding kicks and slicing them to ribbons with a futuristic space katana (like a regular katana, but in the Dark Future and also it can parry bullets).
This is no "crouch walk and quickload when you're spotted" joint though-you listen in on guards' conversations and read people's emails to find out their passwords and office drama, but when the rubber hits the road Fortune's Run is all bombast. For example, you can microwave meals to get more health back from them, or microwave your grenades if you want significantly less health very quickly. Fortune's Run boasts imm-simmy hallmarks like complex enemy AI, an alert system, and granular environmental interactivity.
