    Le précédent Stalker (à Chernobyl...) était une purge à tous les niveaux et ce, dès le début... J'ai cru que celui-ci (à Pripyat) avait mis de l'eau dans sa vodka, car le jeu a l'air quasiment "normal" : l'interface est certes perfectible mais correcte, on a une carte, des objectifs, une kalash qui a... l'air de servir à quelque chose, d'être un peu plus qu'un pistolet à bouchon... et lesLe précédent Stalker (à Chernobyl...) était une purge à tous les niveaux et ce, dès le début... J'ai cru que celui-ci (à Pripyat) avait mis de l'eau dans sa vodka, car le jeu a l'air quasiment "normal" : l'interface est certes perfectible mais correcte, on a une carte, des objectifs, une kalash qui a... l'air de servir à quelque chose, d'être un peu plus qu'un pistolet à bouchon... et les "anomalies" (qui font penser évidemment à l'excellent bouquin des Strougatski) sont signalées... car dangereuses !

    Puis, on se rend compte, que le monde ouvert de Stalker n'est pas vraiment ouvert et oblige à des détours invraisemblables... juste pour te faire traverser un camp avec des gars super vénères qui t'alignent en moins de deux... et effectivement, tu clamses en moins de deux ! le recul de la kalash est tel qu'on peut pas tirer plus deux balles à la fois et face à ces types-là, il faut un bon chargeur à chaque fois... et encore, quand je dis "ces types-là" ils ne devaient être que deux ou trois ! ça doit être des "boss" qu'on a mis là, juste au début du jeu... logique, bien sûr !

    L'infiltration consiste à s'accroupir et... avancer à deux centimètres par heure ! même une limace va plus vite en fait ! inexploitable et ridicule donc. Le "monde ouvert" comme je le disais est ici plus dirigiste qu'un Call of puisque des collines qu'on ne peut pas franchir délimitent le parcours... obligé et obligatoire ! t'es libre d'aller où tu veux mais surtout par là et... uniquement par là, Camarade !

    Le monde lui-même est très vide, lamentablement vide... on arrive près d'un ensemble désaffecté et une boîte de dioalogue apparaît : "va-nous chercher de la bouffe stalker et que ça saute" et si tu t'incrustes, ils te font la peau aussi sec. Donc, on voit personne ou les rares qu'on voit t'envoient chier ou ne sont pas au courant... Rien à récupérer dans ce monde, ces bâtiments épars ou ces ruines : y a que dalle à ramasser, dégage !

    Et pour ce monde ouvert uniquement sur PC sorti en 2010, on se rend compte que c'est bien moche, incroyablement moche et vide, y compris "tout çà fond". Artistiquement parlant, c'est terne et peu inspiré, voire pas inspiré du tout. Fallout 3 qui n'est pas le plus beau jeu du monde, lui qui est sorti en 2008, met à l'amende le Stalker de pacotille dans tous les domaines : graphismes, direction artistique, ambiance, jouabilité, dialogues, scénario... il lui roule dessus sans forcer ! comme un prince.

    Alors le Stalker, il faut évidemment faire attention : ne pas marcher dedans, car ça ne porte même pas bonheur !    … Expand

    Building on the legacy of previous STALKER games, CoP is a more polished (some might say, casualized) approach to the Zone. While the story isn't that interesting, the game itself is a great sandbox. With good mods, this is a ton of fun.

    STALKER gives an in game experience unlike any other game ive played. From the beginning I thought I wouldn't like it at all and it would end up sitting in my library like many other games, but I pushed through my doubts and im so glad that i did.

    You'll find yourself frustrated at first, Dying from gunfights with bandits or killed by mutants with no knowledge on how to go about killing them, or by the emmisions ( which Im embarrassed to say took way to long for me to figure out how to survive them ). You slowly learn how to handle the problems the Zone throws at you, whether you talk to a Stalker about how to hunt mutants or by trial and error the learning process became my favorite part of my playthrough.

    I found that Artifacts play a small role in the game even though they are supposed to be the main reason people come to the Zone, I quickly realized that I never really cared about the effects/benefits that they had. Nevertheless I enjoyed Searching for them and moving around the Zone to find them and ultimately selling them. They do look cool though.

    I enjoyed meeting the characters that the game offers, ( as weird as it is to say ) I even became fond of some of them, hoping that they had more to learn about, some do and some dont which was a let down but i cant really say that was a con for me because youll spend most of your time alone.

    All in all I highly recommend this game to someone whos willing to sink time into it, The enemies,NPCs, Loot and story are so interesting I found myself Thinking about them outside of playing the game. Its got jokes that are hard to get unless 1. you know Russian ( which I do ) and 2. know about the soviet culture that surrounds the game.

    It would be hard to compare this game to another and in my opinion down right blasphemous to compare it, but when asked what it was like from friends I said a better Fallout.... Thats Russian.    … Expand

    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.

The thing that bothers me with this game is that it doesn't seem polished, shooting mechanics are stupid as bullets act as arrows dropping once they reach a point distance making long range combat near impossible. The game feels too dark and stingy, which yes fits the atmosphere but just gets depressing to look at after a while. Player models are recycled endlessly, I've ran into the same two Stalkers at least ten times. You're given a main quest but there's so many extra quests that I feel kind of overwhelmed, I'm worried I'll miss something if I progress without doing these. As opposed to Bethesda games that usually pull this off well, the open world and it's many side quests are a bit intimidating to anyone who doesn't enjoy such a long, long game. The game demands a lot of time from the player, so if you're not prepared to use up hours of your time to scour the zone then this game is not for you.

    I got this game on sale, and I'm reasonably happy with it, the atmosphere is fantastic and the joys of using your maintained and updated fire arms that you upgraded yourself is also another slight joy in this game. However the amount of **** you can do is so vast it's almost intimidating, the story is not interesting or driving in anyway as it's hard to root for your character when he's got as much personality as a tin of paint. Other characters are the same, so it's also difficult to try and symphasize with people who ask for your help. At the beginning of the game a bandit tells me he needs this artifact as his friend is dying, I without a second thought denied his offer and killed him and his little buddies. The game is not story driven in any way shape or form, it's driven simply by the players curiousity: What sort of artifacts can I find and sell, what sort of loot can I buy with this money? How should I upgrade my guns? This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it'd be nice if I felt some want to continue playing this game to the end.

    Keep in mind I'm scratching the very surface of this game with 5 hours played in total but I'd love to know if it improves significantly. In short, STALKER Call of Pripyat is a gloomy looking post apocalyptic master piece but falls short in terms of story and characters but makes up for it in accurate representations of real guns and it's hours of gameplay. You will definitely get your moneys worth with this game but it's not for the faint of heart, as well as not being without it's faults.

    Stalker Call of Pripyat do have some problems. The combat feels a bit clunky, especially against other humans.

Less so than its predecessor but the feeling is still there. The game does make up for most of its short coming though by being extremely atmospheric. This game is at its best when you are exploring an anomaly or sneaking through a mutant lair. And when the game is at its best few games can beat it. Sadly there is also all the running from point A to point B, all the time spent figuring out how stuff works by using google, all the time spent managing your inventory. A game like this need to have some ups and down but the ups could be a little more frequent and the downs could be a little less frequent. I don't want to sound to negative since i had great time playing this game. And if you are looking for a little bit different shooter with atmosphere so thick that you could slice it with a butter knife then Stalker Call of Pripyat may be the shooter for you.… Expand

    - Fantastic and tense atmosphere
    - Pretty bad AI: path finding of monsters is horrible, all enemies behave very predictable and sometimes don't attack you even though they stare at you
    - Mediocre story: story doesn't develop very well during the course of the game and the ending is somehow disappointing. I was very confused about the game ending all of the sudden and I guess the first thing that came to my mind was "so that's it???" Plus you won't even get a render scene at the end, just some pictures ...
    - Mediocre gameplay: some mechanics are just useless. Why do you have to eat at all, why even add such a feature which serves no purpose and if you do add it then why don't you have to drink? There's some sort of fast travelling implemented but it's most of the time faster to just walk/run to your destination instead of finding someone to take you there. You can't sell damaged weapons and repairing them costs more than the weapons are worth. I could list a lot more but long story short - the gameplay is sometimes clunky.

    More mutant mayhem

    The story in CoP takes up where SoC left off (although you play as a different character) so it seems fitting that I played the games in that order, missing out Clear Sky (for now). As with SoC, this is quite a tough game (no hand-holding here), although it didn’t seem quite as tough as the original. It’s also a good deal shorter, with the main storyline taking about    More mutant mayhem

As with SoC, this is quite a tough game (no hand-holding here), although it didn’t seem quite as tough as the original. It’s also a good deal shorter, with the main storyline taking about 15 hours to complete (there are, of course, a fair few side quests, but I didn’t complete all of them). The graphics are an improvement over the original, especially if you use some of the mods available. It’s also less buggy. The voice acting is okay, if a little variable, as are the character animations. This is, in many ways, a straightforward continuation of what has gone before, and the impressive STALKER atmosphere is maintained along with the challenging gameplay. Despite the improvements, however, there is less diversity in the environments compared to those found in Soc, and the world is less expansive than it is in SoC. And the story, although more coherent, is somewhat lighter. But this is still an immersive and enjoyable game to play.    … Expand

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

    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

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

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

    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.
