Stalker 2 is a pretty long game, with estimates at around 40 hours for how long to complete it, though the developers have said there’s enough content to keep you going for up to 100 if you want to do it all. Either way, a good way to gauge how far through the game you are is to use the list of the game’s main missions, as they show you how much left there is to do without spoiling anything.

To make it easy, we’ve put together this list of every main mission in Stalker 2, as well as the option sub-missions many of them contain.

Like with most open-world games, there comes a point where the world is locked off as you reach the climax of the story, and in Stalker 2, that is the Down Below mission, which is the third mission from the end of the game.
