    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky is a sequel, or rather a prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl, turned out very good, however, without bugs, such as degradation of the AI and bugs, but it brought novovision as a War of Groups and a new system of searching for artifacts. But compared with Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky is a bit behind, and gets only 8 points.

    The plot is the weakest game of the series. Technically between 1 and 3. But to return to your favorite post-apocalypse this is enough. But I do not advise introducing Stalker from Clear Sky.

    Don't mind the bad reviews. Russians just salty about game boycott.
    You can't find a better post-apoc. game series than Stalker.

    the game, although not the strongest of the Stalker series, is also very pleasant to play and get a lot of pleasure from the game

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. Let's go back. The continuation came out more atmospheric, but the plot itself and a large number of bugs spoil the impressions of the game a little and because of which it was often necessary to load much back in order not to get into this bug again.

    Хотелось бы похвалить игру больше чем ее критикуют другие игроки, потому что в игре есть более лучшее освещение и графика для того времени. Но все-таки есть минусы или просто вещи которые если не плохи но просто не понимаешь, типо не логичный прицел или слишком большой упор на стрельбу. Но отмосфера и лор не меньше чем в предыдущей части так что все равно круто.

    The most underrated addition to the game. All new features such as a new render mode (for 2008) DirectX 10, Dynamic goodraces, dynamic soft smoke, wet surfaces, dynamic shadows.

    I will keep it short: "Clear Sky" is an improved in all directions version of "Shadow of Chernobyl". Everything got better: graphics (looks gorgeous even in 2021), gameplay (they completely overhauled artifacts "search and use" system), story (missions got better - you clearly understand what's you goal is, where you are going and why).

    Most of the bad reviews are due to the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear sky, there were crashes, a lot of bugs, you can't go to another location.

    What about the plot? Not bad, but could have been done better. The gunfights are the best, especially at the end of the game.
    The engine has been updated, now the animations of weapons are different and the graphics have become much better, not bad for 2020.
    Now you can still join groups, there is a faction war

    Despite all bugs on my opinion this is the best part of stalker. It's containing some atmosphere of first part and added more functionality. Of course i'd say CoP the best but not.

Unlimited respawn of enemies allows you to play enough to get better armor. but of course searching for artifacts is the main part of getting rich.… Expand

Теперь после попадания пули - начинается кровотечение, которое остановить можно только бинтом. А иначе, твоё здоровье будет отбавляться.

    This is probably the best game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise. Yes, the bugs were there, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is bugged as a whole.

    Clear sky had a memorable story, that even to this day, after 6 years, I can remember even the tiniest bits. This is a game that is worth playing. But keep in mind you need to save alot.

    UPDATE: got to the garbage where everyone says "you get robbed by bandits and lost all of your money you have saved and cannot get it back!" i am seriously surprised no one thought to do this or has done it. BUT you do not walk up to the bandits, actually if you save after you do anything meaningful then you simply re-load once you get robbed and shoot the bandits instead of walking up to them. problem solved, you save all that money you lost. when i did it, i lost 3300. shot the bandits, kept my cash and in the next area, hidden valley if anyone remembers? i just made over 15k by doing missions and looting all the dead people. so i dont see how it was that hard for you to have gotten all your money back that you lost unless you were litterally spending nothing and saved over 20k. so stop being losers and think outside the box for once. clear sky kinda lets you shoot everybody so just do that when you come across bandits. morons.    … Expand

    Clear Skies is certainly the worst of the STALKER games but still an awesome game by any measure. Great atmosphere and all the things we loved on the first game are still here. Just don't forget to install Clear Skies Complete Mod. It certainly makes the game much better. Awesome back then and still is today. Highly recommended!
