It can not be an easy task to create the sequel to a long-awaited cult classic, especially with all the trouble the developers had the deal with over the years.

If you are familiar with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise you know what to expect in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which is more of the same but obviously in modern graphics. But since the game is similar to it's predecessors, it also comes with it's share of bugs and other issues.

I doubt anyone has a smooth time playing STALKER 2. I did have my share of performance issues; graphical glitches, slow loading textures, black flickering etc. although these could be the cause of my PC , I'm not really sure.
What for sure is not the cause of my PC is broken quests. I think it happened around 3/4 times in my playthrough a quest can't be finished because certain characters simply do not respond or because you did not do the quest in the way the game wants you to do them.
Another thing which was extremely annoying is my UI just dissapearing, which makes it impossible to tell how much health you have or where to go to.
There are tons of other issues with the game; enemies shooting through walls (yes I know you can shoot through certain objects but that's not what I meant), enemies simply appearing right next to you and/or other glitches.

With all that 'negativity' out of the way, I do like this game. There are a lot of different weapons, armors, upgrades etc. The quests and story is quite OK and I just love strolling around the Exclusion Zone.

STALKER 2 may not be for everyone but I highly recommend it to fans of the franchise.

The LBA games still give me some great nostalgic memories, which is why they probably forever will remain among my favourite games of all time.

For a long time a Little Big Adventure 3 game seemed like impossible but at least some slightly enhanced versions of the classic games + this remake of the original game have come out, so perhaps an LBA3 game might be made after all at some point.

Little Big Adventure - Twinsen's Quest pretty much follows the same story as the original, except for some unnecessary changes with Twinsen having a sister and she's kind of replacing Zoé. Zoé is still there though, just do not understand why they felt the need to change this.

LBA1&2 had an unique art-style and I can imagine it's hard to capture that same atmosphere with modern graphics. At first I really did not like the new graphic style but at one point it starts to grow on you. I still think the game could have been more gloomy like the original games though.

The gameplay is more or less the same aside from the frustrating controlls of the original ones. It does make the game a bit more easy but I think it's a welcoming change.

Overall I think Twinsen's Quest is a nice remake. It does bring back a few memories, it's fun to play and hopefully we see more of LBA in the future.
