The commission justified the “17+” rating by the fact that the game shows violence, blood, obscene language, and the use of alcohol and tobacco.
Separately mentioned is the showing of the effects of anomalies on bodies, as a result of which they are torn apart and pieces of flesh are scattered around the surrounding area, large pools of blood under corpses, splashes of the same blood from wounds, in one of the scenes severed heads on spikes are shown. The possibility of killing civilians is allowed, although this entails an immediate reaction from the surrounding characters. There are also scenes of executions.
In general, the developers made no attempt to expand the audience reach by softening the level of violence – the game is entirely “adult”.
Let us remind you that the release of STALKER 2 is expected on November 20 of this year.
