The best of the bunch (of remasters)
This is the best of the three remasters, simply because the original Clear Sky is the most broken Stalker game to this day, and is not easy to get to work on modern machines. This one? Didn't crash on me once in a little under 3 hours, which is pretty much flawless as far as Stalker games are concerned. It just works and it is still the most technologically advanced game in the original trilogy (one of the reasons it is so broken). However, it still has the same issues as all the other remasters - it's blurry (you can minimize it by using FSR Native at max sharpness), it has some issues with wide FOV camera positioning, and there is some cut content/censorship such as the removal of Russian voice-overs and censoring some in-game textures and objects that refer to the Soviet Union. Normally not a big thing, but in this it is jarring for two reasons: the Ukrainian voice over is not as good as Russian in my opinion, which is weird because it is better in both the original and CoP. Secondly, it's kind of weird that the devs chose to leave the faction names unchanged, in Russian, with Russian spellings of all the names (in the English version). Like, when you first enter Cordon (the second location in the game) you walk up to a UKRAINIAN military security checkpoint but the warning message that plays over the loudspeaker is still in Russian for some reason. Stuff like that makes the whole thing feel disjointed and it makes the removal of the Russian dub feel jarring. Anyway, if you feel strongly about Russian dubbing it can be modded back in. For me it's not a dealbreaker. Other than that, this is solid and is probably THE best way to play Clear Sky today.
