Not the best, kind of the worst.

So let me just start out by saying this, this is my first time jumping into the STALKER series. I wanted to play the games in order so Clear Sky would have been the first game I was going to play anyway even though people told me it was the worse in the series. But I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to the order of a series and I never liked starting in the middle and going to the beginning of something. Gunplay is broken and only mods can fix it, the story is actually ok but I feel like that's the cherry on a shit cake. There is no open world from what I saw and that's why most people have thousand of hours on the first game and only 20 to 30 in this game. They let you join factions in this game which is really awesome but it's a lot more cooler if you just stayed as the lone merc who worked for whoever was paying you. The only thing this game adds to me is the story aspects that you don't know while playing the first game, and honestly that isn't enough to save this game. It is sadly a mess of a game but I would still recommend you give it a try when it's on sale or something like that.

Disappointing and utterly skippable

This game is fine until you are past the Garbage, when it turns into a rail shooter with infinite spawn points that pay no attention to being beside the player. The immersion is easily shattered, and the COD run & gun is about as anti-stalker as it gets. At that point it completely abandons the open world exploration that SoC and CoP are lauded for. The worst aspect of CS is the lack of balance or any character development after the Cordon. I was able to finish the game without gear that was all available in that early in the game (AN-94 and SEVA suit). The regularity of crashes with a fully patched (including fan patches in the latest stable version of ZRP - avoid "complete" as it is far less complete or upto date as ZRP is) version is also a major knock against it. I will concede that this is the most optimized of the three, and looks great under the video setting: Dynamic Lighting (aka DX9). While DX10/DX10.1 mode looks even better, the significant increase in crashes prevented it from being used for more than a few minutes. The greatest disappointment is that GSC did not import the the maps, architecture, and optimizations into CoP. For the record, I have play SoC 20+ times, and CoP 14+. This was my first, and last CS playthrough, and makes me regret having caved in after all these years to try it. If I had never known how good their level design could be, I would be more satisfied. CoP now looks even more rushed and unfinished than I previously thought (though CoP is still a 4.5/5 with mods).

As a newbie - not so well-thought-out

I've only recently started playing the 3D RPG, sticking to the isometric worlds of Fallout and the likes for the past 20 years. Having completed both FalloutNewVegas and FallOut3 I wanted to try out the Eastern take on the post-apocalyptia in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Unfortunately the results were less than satisfying - while the story is passably interesting, so long as you find and talk to the necessary persons, and the environment coupled with the creature design are brilliant, the search for the artifacts is considerably less so - with the bad design choice of infinitely spawning human opponents, it's only a matter of time until a full load of the weapons takes off the bodies of your enemies is going to steadily increase the thickness of your wallet, obliviating the need for collecting any of the alien artifacts, which, always being situated always set you back on antiradiation drugs, food and medical supplies in amounts, negating any profit. The motto of this game could have been - Don't bother with the "aliens" - stick to sticking the "pigs" and you'll make it big. However it's not that problem which made me stop playing it before finishing the game - it's the abysmally awful faction mechanic - unfortunately, for progressing, the game sometimes requires you to help a faction and maintain their favour level towards you for receiving some information on the "story at large', but if for any reason you "fail" the goal, it always results in a decrease of the favour rating, thus the death of extremely fragile "allied/friendly" faction members, to anomalies, monsters or indeed the enemy faction gunfire, is always your "The Player's" fault. That results in a horrible gameplay of running about the map - and between the "segments" of it, putting out the constantly RNG-generated attack events. To add the insult to injury - when you are given such a goal, the AI forgets to send any reinforcement to actually count as "holding" the position, so you'll be stuck for IRL hours!
