STALKER 2: Cost of Hope | Review

2 Likes

The title, Cost of Hope, sounds very different to ukrainians. This is so painful to see that the war is still going for more than 4 years now.

Interesting fact, Freedom, one of the two factions the DLC focuses on, translate to Volya in ukrainian and not Svoboda like in russian. Volya in russian is Willpower. It makes you think.

I’m not sure about the lighting changes, but it looks like a significant improvement to performance. Bodes well for Xbox consoles.

Edit:

Excellent review Jesse! looks like we got two amazing expansions this year with TDA Revelations and now this one. Great stuff!

Yeah I can see the improvement indoors with the light bouncing making the lighting more “correct” and all but I hugely prefer the more de-saturated look of the 5.1 version in the outdoor areas, I dunno it looks too vibrant now? also I am not sure about the increased foliage thing…

Also curious to see the improvements to the frame-rate in the Series versions.
