    Самая, наверное, сбалансированная часть трилогии.
    Почти нет багов, добавили вырезанных ранее монстров, многое улучшили и сделали логичнее. Отлично сделана Припять, которую наконец-то можно свободно исследовать. Харизматичные (для шутера) помощники и вообще персонажи.
    Из минусов отмечу более слабый, чем в первой части, основной сюжет. Там он был намного более захватывающим и таинственным,    Самая, наверное, сбалансированная часть трилогии.

    Из минусов отмечу более слабый, чем в первой части, основной сюжет. Там он был намного более захватывающим и таинственным, почти детективным: проникнуть в центр зоны, узнать правду про Монолит, секретные лаборатории О-сознания, кто такой Стрелок и т.д.
    А тут - "просто узнай почему свалились наши вертушки". Ну поскольку главный герой - вояка, приказ должен звучать максимально просто и лаконично). Но все же можно было что-то интересное закрутить..
    В остальном все как принято в серии СТАЛКЕР: большие локации для исследования, полные аномалий, монстров и артефактов. Много разных пушек, квестов (некоторые имеет разные варианты решения). Концовки тоже будут отличаться в зависимости от ваших действий в игре.
    В общем поставлю 8/10    … Expand

    Amazing story before being a video game. It's full of mysteries, and well designed. I feel that the places are real but they are actually. And in this game is much better than its predecessors.

BitComposer did very well with this title with adding certain elements to the core gameplay from Clear Sky such as the armor and weapon modifications. STALKER Call of Pripyat has a pretty extensive mod selection too which include graphical enhancements that bring the game to modern generation graphics. Call of Pripyat is also a good starter game with the series. It's not so hard that you will rage (Shadow of Chernobyl) and not extensively buggy (Clear Sky) but i'd recommend that if you cannot figure out the controls and need to be pampered for a tutorial then find a guide online instead of bashing the game for a lack of tutorial. I give this a game a 9/10 for the graphics and sometimes extremely hard gameplay (Pripyat tunnell).… Expand

    Absolutely awesome. The game is well laid out and very exciting. The game mechanics are great and the enemy's are too. The pricing for artifacts are mind blowing i mean 11,000 rubles for a common stone flower?!?. The only thing that i wish they would change would be the blowouts. They are kinda boring but with a few mods they can be made to look awesome

    Very solid survival horror with its own special feeling to it. Exploring the Zone around Tschernobyl with all its mutants, bandits, Stalkers (Artifact hunters and looters who want to get rich by the abnormalities of the Zone), anomalies and really dangerous types of mutant creatures is a real pleasure.

Especially when using some kind of mod that supports your own playstyle. I heavily enjoyed the difficult and realistic of the Misery mod. (But definitely on Rookie mode for the first playthrough)

    Also the weapon selection is quite refreshing. There are a lot of iconic weapons avaible, from the AK to the XM8 to the G36 to the MP5 to the Spas shotung to the M4 etc. etc. If I had to compare the feeling to it, I would say Counter-Strike fits the game regarding the gun variety.

    I definitely recommend this game, even if the graphics are somewhat outdated. The atmosphere and rich mod scene compensate for it.    … Expand

    This ode to the best parts of the Stalker atmosphere is maximized by being played at last as an open world rather than as a linear shooter
    locations became less on they became much more and more interesting

The only thing I didn't like and what I think they should have left as it was is the new pictograms (for health, armor, etc.) - in "Clear Sky" they looked much better and had more "classy/canon" look. Everything else is close to perfection. The story overall was a little bit more grounded than before but I liked it - the ending is actually good, though I understand people who say they are a little bit disappointed, that they expected more from the ending of such monumental trilogy but I think the ending was quite realistic and fitted well with this "realistic" approach "Call of Pripyat" was aiming for.… Expand

    После не совсем удачного, на мой взгляд, "Чистого Неба", Зов Припяти, на удивление, оказалась достойным продолжением серии.

    The plot ?The plot is excellent.
    The engine is updated,but the graphics got a little bit worse than the last part. Call of Pripyat love the variety of quests,all of this will greatly depend on the ending of the game.There are a couple of quests,which is very unusual,it is possible to praise the developers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I start the review,I will say that I played on Master difficulty.

    Story(Spoilers)

    Youa are an officer that is sent to the Zone to investigate some crashed helicopters.After some investigations you are gonna talk with the Seargent (I think,I forgot what rank he was) in Prypiat.In the final hour of the game you will meet Strelok,a S.T.A.L.K.E.R that tells you what happened to the helicopters.He tells that after every emission the anomalies are changing their positions,so the map that the pilots had with the anomalies marked is useless.After knowing this you got to escape,and that's it.Tho I didn't tell everything about the story buy I generalised it.

    Survival Mechanics

    In S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Prypiat you need to eat when you're hungry,when getting radiated you drink some alchool,medecine etc., you also have your health bar and stamina bar.The health bar gets smaller when you get shot,get damaged,from anomalies.You can refill it after sleeping,use medecine etc..The Stamina Bar gets smaller when you run,jump.The Stamina Bar gets smaller faster if you have more kg of stuff on you than you can carry.The Stamina Bar can be 'improved' temporarily by drinking S.T.A.L.K.E.R beer,when you eat.

    Shooting mechanics

    The Shooting is great.You can upgrade your weapon at the engineers tha tyou find in each zone you go to.The upgrades are cool.At Master difficulty the enemies become bullet sponges,but even so,the combat is fun and enjoyable.

    Sidequests

    I played almost evey sidequest in each zone.I can say without a doubt that the sidequests are good.I liked them becasue they had a lot mystery behind them.

    Sounds and ambience

    The sounds are great.The ambience is greater.

    Anomalies

    Anomalies are strange phenomen that have proprietes like electricity,fire etc.
    I like them.

    Enemies

    They are lot of mutants in S.T.AL.K.E.R witch I liked,like the polgyster,the bloodsuckers,the chemeras.
    There are some special mutants that are reallly cool.

    In conclusion
    With ambience ,anomalies,great sidequests and cool enemies this game becomes a great mix of adventure and shooting

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Итак, Зов Припяти... Что я могу сказать... Игра хорошая, НО не без изъянов. Начнём с хорошего: Во первых, удобство. Были введены новые механики упрощающие, на пример, использование медикаментов в бою. В прошлых частях этого не было! Во многом игра перестала ломаться, однако об этом позже... По поводу визуала - всё не плохо! Физика стала чуть по лучше. Но перейдём к минусам! В лучших традициях Сталкера (да и модов тоже!) - постоянные сломы квестов. Например: я не смог пройти задание с Глухарём, так как после убийства кровососа, сам Глухарь просто стоял и смотрел в стену, а скрипт не работал. А учитывая что большинство квестов влияют на концовку определённых персонажей, то получается искусственное ухудшение концовки. Это наверное самая большая проблема! Теперь про меня: как и в любой игре есть квесты, в которых ты не понимаешь что делать. Или его (квеста) описание делает упор на чисто лоровое описание, а не техническое (Например: "Найдите документы на среднем ярусе лаборатории", пишут: "Вы пролезли туда, за тем-то, за тем-то"... В случае особо непонятливых будет проблемой найти то что нужно. Я могу привести пример с поиском документов в Х8, потому что я час бегал по лабе, не понимая: сколько еще надо собрать? Я понимаю, что это реалистично, мол: откуда Дегтереву знать сколько всего документов в лабе. однако я убил слишком много времени, при том, что для хорошей концовки этой квестовой цепочки мне их хватило; хотя писалось "Поищите документы или выберитесь из лаборатории". Короче, я не понял сколько их нужно, по этому и ушел.) Отдельный вопрос: почему я просрал Стрелка!? Да всё очень просто - его убили тогда, когда камера пролетала над вертолётом, и т.д. И по итогу, когда я уже не управлял своим персонажем, Стрелка завалили! Вопрос это честно? Еще и Стрелок идет часто в противоположном направлении от точки эвакуации (Жить ему, блин, надоело!).
    Однако в целом все хорошо: сюжет интересный, а наш персонаж научился говорить!    … Expand

    An excellent game completing the main trilogy of games - Stalker. Completely new locations is what every fan of this series of games wanted. The atmosphere from the lights, the sounds, the music, the sky, just something incredible, seems so familiar, especially to people from post.soviet countries. So if you want to feel it, you should definitely play it :)

    I think this is how the first game in the series should have been. I believe that
    CALL OF PRIPYAT is technically the most advanced game in the series. Even today it is played decently.
    The side quests are well written, multi-level and with far-reaching consequences. A constant intrigue and sense of threat will accompany you throughout the passage.
    Therefore, I advise you to try it.

    Call of Pripyat may not look as stunning as CoD:MW2 or Crysis, but it's still a very atmospheric, seizing and refreshingly different shooter... just like its predecessors that is. So if you consider yourself a fan of the series: Got get Call of Pripyat! It's definitely the best part of the saga.
