    Vs SoP and CS they improved the UI and added a sleep cycle. They kept CS repair feature, pricey fast travel, detectors and weapon/armour mods in this third game. No massive x2 trolling by the game developer like in CS. Or that awful laser like accuracy grenade spam. Stalker gun play while never great didn't seem as annoying this time around.

No massive x2 trolling by the game developer like in CS. Or that awful laser like accuracy grenade spam. Stalker gun play while never great didn't seem as annoying this time around. The new UI basically makes all pistols redundant.

    The big issues with the game was the maps. The lack lustre story and characters. Also how the missions were structured. Three large maps instead of many more smaller ones. I just found these three maps with wide empty areas a dull grind to traverse. The story was uninteresting as all the big reveals were in the first two games. While the ending and the introduction of a very important character was also so very underwhelming.

    Due to the open nature of CoP maps going off in random directions is a sure way to get ganked. The other two previous games SoC/CS set up more structured type encounters in the smaller zones. So I wouldn't get ganked by something way to OP while with starter/weaker gear.

    Graphically this looked way worse than the two previous games. While the limited draw distance on such bigger maps was very noticeable. The other games they used smaller maps and environmental trickery to get round the limited draw distance. I cannot play this game anymore without the absolute nature mod to upgrade the visuals. 7/10 with that mod pack installed.    … Expand

    Worse graphics and difficulty, but more polished and close to the ideal at all.

    Gameplay:
    combat mechanics 8/10
    stealth 6/10
    atmosphere 9/10
    Gameplay as immersive horror (labs and nights only) 9/10
    Gameplay as RPG & im.sim (w/o mods): 7/10

    Story 6/10

    Graphics 8/10

    Sounds & music 10/10

    .
    "Call of Chernobyl" MOD_platform is strongly RECOMMENDED.

    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.

    Каличный кал. Должно было выходить как DLC, а не отдельная игра. Способ собрать больше денег используя старый убогий движок и механику.

    I played for 50 hours without getting bored. It was very enjoyable to discover all the places on the map. It was very enjoyable to do the quests and collect the anomalies. The characters in the game and the story of the game are very good. The only thing I don't like is emission, it happens almost every day and takes a long time. But it strengthens the atmosphere. So not a big deal. At theI played for 50 hours without getting bored. It was very enjoyable to discover all the places on the map. It was very enjoyable to do the quests and collect the anomalies.

    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.

    После не совсем удачного, на мой взгляд, "Чистого Неба", Зов Припяти, на удивление, оказалась достойным продолжением серии. В первую очередь из-за наличия в игре ачивок, благодаря которым, можно не просто пройти игру из точки А до точки Б, но и также выполнять разнообразные дополнительные квесты (а таких в игре много), и получать за это достиженя.После не совсем удачного, на мой взгляд, "Чистого Неба", Зов Припяти, на удивление, оказалась достойным продолжением серии.

    Игра на вид максимум 2007 года. Графика дерьмовая. Механики устаревшие. Npc нереально тупые. Начальной кинематографичной катсцены нет, хотя в предыдущих частях были. Нереальная халтура.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    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.
