This may not be the place to ask, so I apologize if I'm in error, but I know nothing about this game but I keep seeing it pop up. I never played the first one. Is it necessary to enjoy or can I pick this one up and dive right in?

You probably won't understand entirely what is happening in the setting, but it's not like you fully understood what was happening for most of Shadow Of Chernobyl.

You play as a brand new character with no relation to the past games in STALKER 2.

If you can pick up on implications and make informed guesses you can understand the world well enough. STALKER games have always succeeded with atmosphere and vibes rather than tight plot.

That's what's up... I'm looking for something new to play that's outside my norm of JRPG/RPG/ARPG type game but it's honestly been a PITA trying to find something.
