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.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
But it's
5/5 graphics (max 1366x768, Graphics is pretty, but glass looks as from games for windows 98)
4/5 Gamplay (if we must to speak with any peoples, we must to search them)
4/5 Audio (In game audio is really good, but in menu it is very bad.)
Despite the negative reviews STALKER: Clear Sky receives, it's my favorite game in the STALKER series.
PROS:
+ Wide open world. + The action kicks off immediately into the main story. + The 'factions' system is pretty cool, reminding me a bit of Mercenaries for the PS2. + Gone is the annoying Hunger system. + Multiplayer is solid. + Modest hardware requirements. + Only $10 (USD).
CONS:
- Enemy AI can have surgical accuracy at times, leading to frustrating deaths. - Multiplayer matches aren't as common as COP.
VERDICT: Part with $10 and get it. Clear Sky is worth at least that much.
Questionable game, previous entry in the series - SoC with all the flaws it has still a unique and immersive experience. Clear sky on the other hand has lots of bugs from smallest ones to some serious problems which leads to hardlocks with loss of your progress, slow-witted AI, broken scripts, unfair enemy spawns, tons of on-rails shooter as you approach endgame, plot goes downhill as you play and so on. Ragequit and uninstalled the game in the final sequence, the atmosphere is top notch but the rest of the game goes from good to worse as you progress but still the game managed to keep me entertained for some time, too bad it has such a weak endgame.
