Description

Buying this game will get you both the original version and the Enhanced Edition.


Great Emission, the biggest anomalous energy blowout from the times of Second Incident at The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, has shaken the world again and reshaped the Zone. To investigate its cause and and prevent future cataclysms is your only chance to survive in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. 

WAR OF FACTIONS


With the anomalous activity at its maximum, the unstable Zone continues to tremor with outbursts. The transformation of the Zone map destabilizes the fragile balance of forces in the Zone. Hostilities for the new territories, artifact fields and spheres of influence flare up among groups. Feuds and friendships are left behind – now, everyone watches out only for themselves. The Faction War has begun. To survive, join one of the parties and knock out opponents over the Cordon... Or benefit from working for all the factions at once, like a true mercenary. 

NEW PATHS


The safe and trusted pathways are no more. Known places disappear in impenetrable fields of anomalies, stalkers and entire expeditions vanish or remain trapped within. Mysterious territories that have been lost since the appearance of the Zone are opening up, calling for explorers. Your mission is to become a pioneer and explore all the new areas that have become accessible in "Clear Sky"! 

MYSTERIES OF THE PAST


As a mercenary named Scar, play a key role in Strelok’s fate and discover new details to the original game story, revealing its major secrets. Visit the familiar places as they were before the original game starts and witness the events that shaped the Zone to the years ahead. 

 

Game features: 
 

  • A prequel to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl, that reveals the backstory of the Zone, familiar characters and locations.
  • New types of equipment and weapons: HPSS-1m, hunting rifle, RP-74.
  • New locations: Swamps, Red Forest, Limansk and Abandoned Hospital, full of new stories and tasks.
  • An advanced upgrade system for weapons and armor with technicians, allowing you to improve and customize your favorite pieces.
  • Player's actions can affect the balance of power in the Zone and the influence of factions.
  • A dozen of new anomalies and artifacts, and a new artifact hunting system utilizing detectors.
  • Improved graphics, interface and AI, making the journey through the sinister radioactive lands even more convenient.

Good Ideas, bad execution.

Buggy, half implemented mechanics, and the final section it's just painfull. I like to consider stalker and the dev studio as Valve but without the QA and playtesting that make them great, the saga has very good ideas, but it's so clunky and half-baked that i can't fell inmersed in the world of Stalker. By far the worst feeling when shooting that i ever experience (the granade spam it's horrible too).

copy - mod Shadows of Chernobyl(SoC).

Running is better than in SoC - the camera does not move to the right to the left. Added several locations unlike SoC and those locations that are in SoC have been reworked, that is, some items have been changed. An attempt to make a beautiful sky and rays in the sun. Because of this, the game, compared to SoC, loses the atmosphere of the post-apocalypse and it seems that you are not making your way in a dangerous environment, but on an easy walk. The system of earning money for additional tasks does not stand up to criticism compared to real life, in the game money almost falls into the pocket by itself, and in life with great difficulty. I would like to note the corridor version of the passage, that is, you can not be distracted by anything, the result will be the same and the ending will be the same(just a shooter).

Great with mods

One of the best stalker games when it comes to fun and having a open world feeling. But a annoying difficulty. Even dark souls seems easy compared to clear sky (and i've beaten 2 and 3 without dying much). So this game is a must play with mods. Besides that the game is actually amazing, You will find yourself thinking about wanting to play the game throughout your playthrough, but then BANG! A shit ending. Which stops this game from getting 5/5 stars. Seriously the ending is not only just broken, phoned in, and boring. But it's lame overall.
