I really love both games. I can't remember how long 2077 took me to finish, but Stalker 2 took me about 70 hours for my first completion (before A-Life patch). As beautiful as Stalker 2 is, the shimmering artifacts from Unreal Engine 5 are very distracting. Far more so than any Raytracing artifacts in 2077. This is even a problem in Silent Hill 2 on top of all the stuttering. Again, I love both games but UE5 really took a nosedive this generation.
