Censorship

New release without Russian language... eh ok. Removing Russian language and references from classic games? Clearly the developers are not Stalker fans. You can't remove references to the very culture that was responsible for the conditions which inspired the Stalker franchise without losing the spirit of the game itself. This game is just FarCry Ukraine. It doesn't have A-life. It doesn't have the music or dialogue quality of the original. It doesn't feel like a stalker game. It feels like a FarCry game. It has only been somewhat successful because so many other recent games have just been very bad experiences. It was a 3/5 on release. It's a 1/5 now because the developers are harming the work of the developers that came before them.

Doesn't even start...

I want to just play the game but looks like that won't be happening. The game immediately crashes once it starts compliling. Highly recommend people staying away from this game until it can at least run. As I did every troubleshooting step I could do with my computer from downloading latest drivers, resetting PC, verify install, downloading again, and even a fresh Windows install. Didn't make a difference but a whole lot of wasted time and money. I will change my review later on if the game can show it can at least deliver the low settings they promised.

After Clear Sky I made myself a promise.

... to never buy a game on release day again. And I kept it to this day. Don´t own it (yet), but I will some day. The other comments made me happy not to fallen for this trap and buy a game I really want to play and was one of the best back in the days.
