After a decade and a half of anticipation, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has finally launched today, and as has been made clear by even the most positive early reviews for the game (such as ours), it does have more than its fair share of pretty significant technical issues.

Either way, it s worth keeping an eye on Milan to see what t…
