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.

A great history and game.

the game is not the best of the saga, but, it's a complete S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience, the map, the guns, the suits, the artefacts, and the faction wars. it's a very good game.

buggy hell but somehow i beat it

do yourself a favor and download the SRP mod before playing... i didn't do that. the mod really helps, at least probably with the faction war bits and some optional add-ons to deal with "artificial difficulty" like the Cordon machine gun and grenade spamming. anyways, you like Call of Duty, well this is sort of slavic CoD without the MURIKA!!! multi-player/network is limited and only works without mods, so fuck that.

love the 1st one, hate cs

worst s.t.a.l.k.e.r game. soc is the best, cop is meh, cs is just bad. fps drops even on very modern powerful hw, very bad bugs making faction wars totally broken for example, second half of the game forcing the player into boring linear gameplay and 'garbage', the worst part of the original s.t.a.l.k.e.r, being the centre through which you need to travel between different levels is just pure bad. I was trying to speedrun the second half just to make the pain be over, finally I finished this and am done with clear sky. it's seriously bad. and they removed the best part of the original soc, rostok. unacceptable. the new maps like swamps and limansk and redone red forest are not even 1% as good as rostok (bar+wild territory) were. and the english va is so very bad... all in all, I love soc and hate cs, that's it. rant over

Good prequel

Definitely the weakest and buggiest of the series, but still a good game.

Great sequal, though not quite as good.

Play first time with SRP (Sky Reclamation Project,) then play mods found on moddb.com There are vanilla + mods that improve / change aspects but maintain the story, story mods that include completely new maps, weapons, mechanics... Clear Sky isn't quite as good as Shadow of Chernobyl or Call of Pripyat, but still enjoyable. I would play them in sequence of how they were published (SoC, CS, CoP) or if you only want to play one, just get SoC or COP.
