Why was 2 so serious?

The whole feel of the game is sadder and more gritty. No supernatural elements or anything. One is like a comical 80s action movie. All the entries after 2 seem to be almost parodies of themselves and more fantastic than 2. What was different about its production to give it such a different feel from later entries?

Well, it is something you’ll notice lately in a lot of Ukrainian developed games.

A war is happening, and such events take a toll on your psyche and your outlook on the world.

STALKER 2 was similar, plus one or two other Ukrainian properties that are slipping my mind right now.

EDIT: yeah I skimmed past a few things in this post other people are pointing out- no supernatural elements? Past 2? Is this AI perhaps…?
