IRL I can snap aim, squeeze off fast, reload quick and hit targets with a high degree of precision. So the slow cumbersome clunky combat is the least interesting part of the game from my perspective. Reloading, sighting and semi auto animations are so slow. Shots not registering through the obvious gaps in cover can be a nightmare. So my advice is don’t worry about cheap deaths due to bad game design.

    The things I do really like about Stalker is the exploring the environment, tackling hazards, facing creatures, siding with factions, reading the lore. Less options ending wise compared to SoC many multiple endings, but this is the prequel to SoC. So certain story things have to happen a certain story way I suppose.

    Graphically and animation wise this game is dated (even with eye candy mods). Though it does look nicer than SoC and better than CoP the sequel. Vs SoC they did add a repair feature, detectors, weapon and gear mods. Plus an expensive fast travel system.

    The developers also massively troll the player twice in two bandit encounters. OMG that general grenade spam with leathal accuracy, argh!? The waves of multiple spawning due to the faction wars mechanic led to a ton of dead bodies everywhere. Asking the question where did these armies come from in these small areas? That does really break immersion for sure.

    This game does have a tense atmosphere (with looting the most). Though not quite a creepy and spooky ambience as SoC. Due to limited indoor exploration of buildings/labs.

    Again with more tighter shooting mechanics this would of been a great game series. The lack of pistol iron sights in the prequel is a mind boggling bad game design choice. The SRP mod fixes a lot of issues with the base game even that problem. I really do like CS (when mod fixed), but it is unpolished, dated, clunky and broken out of the box. Also not quite as impactive a story and not as interesting exploration wise as SoC. Vanilla gameplay this is easy a 3/10. With the SRP mod fix it is a 7/10.    … Expand

    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.

    Decent sequel, although it feels more like an addition to the first part, rather than a standalone game, because most of the time you will spend on the locations from the first part. But there are new mechanics and greatly improved graphics, including lighting. Well, everything that everyone loves about stalker in this part stayed and a little more :-)

    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.

And that's where the game lost its magic. First of all, I would like to say that I finished the game on Veteran difficulty. I'm starting to tell about the bad sides;

    1_) Bandits are too active in the Garbage area. I can't capture their territory. Because Clear Sky and Freedom team do not attack the "depot" area. And the game asks me to take it. After a long struggle, I got it and when I changed the map, I saw that it was in the hands of the bandits again. All the bullets and medkits I spent were wasted.
    2_) In the SoC, we could find a lot of armor in the game. But in clear sky I had to play with bad armor from start to finish. Because we need to buy from trader and I don't have enough money.
    3_) The game gets very linear after Limansk. We are constantly fighting monoliths until the end of the game. And with no return. I'm running out of bandages and medkits. That's why I'm constantly dying until the end of the game. While chasing sterlok at the end of the game, the enemy is constantly spammed. Still no medkit and no bandages. I was tortured until I finished the game. I didn't think it would be this hard on veteran difficulty.
    4_) There was no night-vision because my armor was bad. The game was too dark. I had a hard time seeing the enemies.
    5_) No good items came out of the stash coordinates I bought from NPCs. I just wasted money.    … Expand

    +Враги научились кидать гранаты, причем весьма метко!
    +Все оружие и броню теперь можно апгрейдить. Причем не каждый техник может апгрейдить все, иногда нужно искать нужного. Некоторые апгрейды взаимоисключающие, так что будьте внимательны!
    +Артефакты теперь не видны без специального детектора, который нужно включать, когда подходишь к аномалии.
    +Группировки теперь реально воюют между собой, занимая территорию друг друга. Поэтому, когда ты возвращаешься на локацию, где давно не был, расклад сил там может сильно поменяться.

    Теперь о минусах:
    - Игра проходит практически в тех же локациях, как и ТЧ. Появилась пара новых: Рыжий лес, Лиманск, Болота и закрыта пара старых: Росток, Припять, Лаборатории. В остальном те же Кордон, Свалка, Агропром, Янтарь, Склады, ЧАЭС, Темная Долина.
    - Сюжет более скучный и предсказуемый. Так как это приквел к ТЧ и история связана со Стрелком, нам уже более менее известно, что произойдет в конце.
    - Нет новых монстров, да и старых значительно меньше, на мой взгляд. Контролера я вообще один раз за игру встречал. В ТЧ он как минимум в 3-х локациях был.

    Итог: игра - середнячок, чисто для фанатов. Она эксплуатирует классную вселенную STALKER, но ощущения новизны, неизведанности, опасности (помните свои эмоции, когда первый раз в темноте кровососа встретили?), желания исследовать здесь, увы, почти нет. Те же локации, те же стволы, те же монстры, те же группировки, то же обилие багов, минимум нововведений и слабоватый сюжет.    … Expand

    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.

Последние часы игры ( миссия на мосте, Лиманск, ЧАЭС ), где я думал что будет еще лучше чем в начале игры и разработчики могли сделать что-то действительно интересное и запоминающееся а по факту на вас просто вывалили огромное число враждебно настроенных мобов, Очень жалко и обидно лично мне, потому как именно в Чистом Небе, в отличие от оригинальной игры здесь многое сделали правильно и интересно на мой взгляд: тут и аномалии с артефактами, прокачку и апгрейды, - наличие точек "своих" "нейтралов" и "врагов" на карте в КПК
    - возможность быстрого перехода по локации с помощью "точек быстрого перемещения"
    - Ну а минусы это кровотечение, от одной пули получать кровотечение и нужно вечно штопаться бинтом. Что за бредовая механика?
    - сюжетная миссия от моста перед Лиманским длится просто часами. Я запасся под тысячу патронами, и думал может этого хоть хватит, но нет, разрабы решили сделать одну огромную и 2 мелких локаций под эту единую часть сюжетки без единого бинта, аптечки и возможности взять перерыв в сюжетной кампании и вернуться, починиться, затариться патронами и т.д.
    - оружие клинит буквально постоянно, стоит им попользоваться минут 10-15. Вокруг тебя десятки врагов, а ты перезаряжаешься каждые 3 патрона, так как оружие просто заклинило. Разброс у оружия даже со всеми модификациями огромен! Куда угодно, но только не в прицел.
    - после одной из миссий теряешь все деньги, что успел накопить. Пришлось переигрывать и закупать ненужные вещи втридорога, и заникать в ящике.

    Сталкер Чистое Небо - это не игра, а полный кошмар, уничтожитель нервных клеток.

    En el Gameplay hay un factor que falla y que siendo un juego survival de tiros es inaceptable, el gunplay de este título esta muy por debajo de lo esperado, si bien tiene las mecánicas y unas ideas la ejecución es muy mejorable.

    La banda sonora es casi inexistente pero lo solventa con un sonido del entorno aceptable y envolvente.

    The gunplay doesnt feel right, some guns literally wont hit anything, not because of realistic ballistics but because of stupid rpg like stats affecting them.
    They also added a bunch of call of duty type sections with unlimited spawning enemies where you are just supposed to run like an idiot to the end of the stage, which are stupid and dont fit at all.
    NPCs still "talk" with you with a huge wall of text all over them which i find to be one the biggest flaws in this franchise.
    There is also not much reason to get involved in the faction war or do side quests, you do them just to get a little more play time and experience more of the amazing atmosphere of the game.    … Expand

    La difficulté pr exemple, c'est comme d'habitude n'importe quoi avec des types en face qui résistent à tout (ou presque) et toi le pauvre clampin qui mange chaud... et clamse plus vite qu'il ne faut pour le dire ou l'écrire ! les kits pour se soigner efficacement sont très chers et les munitions qu'on trouve sont toujours pour le fusil à canon scié tout pourri... ça fait désordre quand même au pays de la kalash !

    De toute façon, l'IA est complètement pétée, surhumaine, surprécise, surarmée... l'interface est toujours aussi désastreuse (cette "carte", putain !) et les combats, les sensations sont toujours aussi mauvais, ce qui en fait de loin le pire FPS jamais "conçu" et jamais "joué"...! pour autant qu'on soit masochiste bien entendu !

    Les graphismes sont ternes, on a que du marron et du brun ; la lisibilité du jeu est problématique y compris "tout à fond", difficile de repérer les ennemis. Il paraît qu'on peut jeter des boulons pour mieux débusquer les "anomalies" mais la touche ou la commande correspondante n'existe pas...

    La mobilité dans ce monde trop grand est également problématique, le sprint est limité, le personnage est trop lent.

    I can't believe this was made by the same devs of SoC. What were they thinking? The game is a huge **** annoying struggle from start to finish. From the very beginning you're thrown into a warzone **** with **** weapons where everyone throws perfectly placed grenades at you from 500 meters away. I died from bleeding. A LOT!

    I literally spent the entire game running from one end of the map to another grinding with boring missions and taking ages to be able to afford some decent equipment, all the while having to run from one technician to another to get all the upgrades, spending hours just walking because your stamina is always low and fast travelling with guides is ridiculously expensive! Some guides can't even take you anywhere.

    AND OH GOD THE EMISSIONS! EMISSIONS HAPPEN LIKE EVERY **** 10 MINUTES AND YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO STAY INSIDE A BUILDING FOR 5 MINUTES STARING AT A WALL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING DURING AN EMISSION. ALL THE CHARACTERS DISAPPEAR SO YOU CAN'T EVEN TRADE WHILE WAITING!

    When I finally upgraded fully and got myself equipped with a good weapons and artifacts I was like "Aw yeah, I can finally start enjoying the game, let's play". Play what? Apparently once you're done messing about you just enter Limansk and the game throws you into an linear path of endlessly spawning enemies until the end. And you can't go back! Not even a warning telling you there's no going back once you cross. What's worse I got notified of a reward waiting for me at the Clear Sky base and couldn't go back for it. What's EVEN WORSE it that I unfortunately entered Limansk during an emission and apparently there are no hiding places in Limansk and you can't go back to the other map to hide. GAME OVER! I had to restart from a much earlier save (not even the first time I had to do something like that because of game breaking bugs like this).

    Even with heavy modding the game is unbearable. I can't imagine what it would've been like playing the vanilla version. Also, it's horribly optimized. The lighting in the game is the only improvement over SoC, but i comes at a cost of unstable FPS. The sun shadows are messed up and follow you when you move and other shadows only pop up when you come near them. Drawing distance for the grass is horrible, you can see it growing when you move towards seemingly grassless earth. Friendly NPCs just push you out of the way whenever they move towards you. This is especially lovely when you're on a tall building and they cause you fall and die and oh so fun during a firefight when they push you out of cover and then you die. :)
    Did I mention it occasionally crashes at random? :)))))))

    The ending. Is. Horrible. In fact the whole story feels unimportant and boring. It tries to give some backstory on SoC, but in the end it contradicts events in SoC and doesn't make any sense.

    This is probably my longest review, I'm just so mad at this game! I had some fun with it, but it was not worth it at all.    … Expand

    They added the option to upgrade armor and guns, but more upgrades makes repairing them cost more, and again, it is too expensive.

    Health packs weigh less but the weight limit is still too restricting until you get stamina improvements.

    Factions were added which you can join and fight for/against and reap rewards. However there are defense missions that pop up one second and before you can run to the area you need to defend the mission fails.

    Improvements without drawbacks:
    The camera doesn't shake as much.
    Gun accuracy is better.

    The story is not as good as Shadow of Chernobyl, but the overall gameplay is better.

    So after I've beat S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear sky.. I came to finally write a review. and what can I say? I was not impressed at all compared to SoC. CS was a big step    After playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl and proudly reviewing it after beating the game which overall gave me a great experience. I thought "What the hell" and I bought the next installment S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky.

    So after I've beat S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear sky.. I came to finally write a review. and what can I say? I was not impressed at all compared to SoC. CS was a big step backwards instead of a big step forward... I had fun, don't get me wrong... but there was many times where I was just pissed off because the game was just generally broken and boring in some cases.

    Firstly the side missions/fraction war missions are buggy as hell. I mostly blame this on the AI respectively because squads in your fraction move up to capture a point... but sometimes they absolutely refuse to push forward for no reason. It's the main reason why I cannot capture Freedom base because squads would circle around the area but they would never attack. I did play with one mod (no respawn mod for fractions) because I wanted to make the fraction wars mean something... so it's never about fighting forever but you can fully win a war and you can exterminate the fraction which made it a lot more exciting to destroy fractions. and not to mention that you have to pick up every reward in a fraction base which doesn't help make it exciting.

    Secondly the end game once again failed hard... because it's the same rushed BS that we've seen in SoC but somehow... GSC made it worse, they seem to throw random events to make the ending seem longer and worthwhile (for e.g they would spawn Monolith in the Chernobyl NPP just to waste your time.) It felt like a FPS shooter like call of duty than the game I've been playing for the previous 23 hours before the end game. and the story doesn't really help make the ending seem worthwhile. (which I will explain later.)

    Finally the last problem is the story for CS...they seriously try hard for a connection in SoC and because of this it actually contradicts SoC's story (from strelok's flashbacks) into a different story we don't care about in the end. And in the end strelok get captured from Scar's hand which actually destroys one of the flashbacks completely. (E.G the wish granter dream) the writers were trying hard to connect Strelok into CS but it doesn't work... if they had a new and original idea.. it would make this game a lot better.

    Overall the game is ok... I only played vanilla version (with Fraction AI no spawn mod.) and many people recommend the complete mod for CS... personally if you really want to get to S.T.A.L.K.E.R lore and buy CS I would highly recommend the Complete mod for this game. I've seen footage and it's a major improvement to the vanilla game.. . it's not worth the time to deal with crappy side missions and broken AI for fraction wars. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky honestly deserves a 3/10... but it gets a 5/10 because I still had fun playing the game 75% of the time.    … Expand

    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

    This game has the amazing atmosphere of the original stalker game. It also shares many of the same locations and as a result there's continuity and familiarity with 'Shadow of Chernobyl'.

    The difficulty has arguably increased, particularly aided by a changed bartering system whereby you get virtually nothing for the items you wish to sell (artifacts the exception) It's harder to make a quick buck and upgrade equipment, but I'd suggest this is a wise move, as in Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat you could make a fortune by picking weapons up from the ground and sell them to the Stalker standing a foot away, who, because of the AI, never thought to pick them up himself
    The artifact system is hugely improved. No longer do you simply find 6 high value ones sitting in the middle of the road for you without any danger to you at all; now, artifacts are invisible until very near proximity, and you use a detector to point you, by trial and error, to the treasure. This important change makes finding artifacts far more rewarding.

    However, we must get to the bad:
    The game is riddled with crippling bugs. LImansk is a complete mess of a location and is guaranteed to crash your system - forcing the player to reload many times trying increasingly bizarre strategies to prevent the crash. I gave up without completion.
    My second try was going oh so well, until I got myself into a bad spot where I ended up sleeping through an emission in a partially covered building. The game never recovered, as the game never recognised the end of the emission and as a result most npc characters never went back to normal behaviour.

    Having to give up twice was disappointing and makes it impossible to rate the game highly - enjoy it while it lasts! Fans of the Series, will still find something to enjoy here.    … 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!

Isn't it fun when you cant play game all the way through?

    CS is very annoying at the beginning of it. You make one mistake and you will die very easily (radiation and renegades). You will have to quick save like every 10 seconds. Later part when you get better gear, it becomes actually quite satisfying to play. I don't still really understand the stamina-meter. When games becomes too near reality, it is just stupid. Running for 20 sec and standing still to wait other 20 sec to get your stamina back is some very fantastic bulls***. Especially in game where you have to get money by looting all around in quite big maps. There is also this one part where Bandits rob you, and you will never get your money back.

    Clear Sky could have been great game if it didn't suffered from large amount of bugs and other things that will annoy player. It has nice reformations: you can join to factions and upgrade your weapons etc. 6 points is still best I can give to it as it is with recent patches.    … Expand

    I knew from the start Clear sky wouldn't live up to its predecessor. To rate this game I'm going to start at 5 and add or remove 1 or 2 points depending on how well that aspect is done. First off the gameworld of the Chernobyl is very important to the game. But it wasn't as well executed as in it's predecessor: they added some new zones and modified most of them.

To rate this game I'm going to start at 5 and add or remove 1 or 2 points depending on how well that aspect is done. First off the gameworld of the Chernobyl is very important to the game. But it wasn't as well executed as in it's predecessor: they added some new zones and modified most of them. Some of the new zones like the swamps look like mush, just really bland textures, but a new zone like the red forest is awesome and eerie. So in all the game world is pretty much the same, new zones, some are good and some are bad. So for the gameworld I will give +0 for being pretty much the same. Next well talk about the atmosphere: atmosphere really set SOC apart, and honestly this game is a let down. The only thing this game improves on in atmosphere is a day-night cycle. It still has eerie zones and places but i was only frightened in one part of the game. So this game just doesn't have the same spooky haunting atmosphere. So fro atmosphere i will give -2 because it is such a let down. Next well talk about another important aspect the weapons and combat. So in my opinion this game improves on the combat by adding new weapons and armoured suits. They have a new repair and mod system which is a godsend Some of my complaints with the weapons is that I think enemies sometimes take too many rounds to kill and also the weapon sounds are poor. So for combat and weapons I will give a +1. Next well talk about storyline, the storyline is done well it takes place before the previous games events and has you (Scar) following a group trying to penetrate to the power plant. The storyline is on-par with the first game without giving too much away i'll give it +1 because its pretty good. Backtracking a little the graphics have never been he strong suit of the S.T.A.l.K.E.R but this game has bland and boring textures and poor graphics, though it is a wasteland so you have to expect a bit bland graphics. So for graphics I will give it -1. Next well talk about a new faction war feature that i think is awesome. Being able to chose your faction and receiving their free gear for conquering their enemies is kickass. It is so awesome to wait at night time with a SVD with a night optic and knock off enemy squads, I think its a really cool and unique gameplay experience. Ill give it +2 for being a really awesome new feature. And last but not least we have the game from a technical standpoint, unfortunetly this game is littered with bugs. None of them game breaking but just frustrating so I'll give it -1 from a technical standpoint. Finally a quick side note, I greatly reccomend the complete mod, it fixes all of the game problems, but this isn't a mod review. So in conclusion I give the game a 5 out of ten. Sadly it's a little mediocre and doesn't live up to its predecessor but still a fun but flawed so if your a fan of the series its a-must play, but if your not I would just leave this one alone.… Expand

Was CS not tested at all? After the discount in steam (new year sale), i bought the game, hoping to be able to play it this time. And having played the game for 21 hours, it was OK. There were crashes at least two times than SoC, but it was bearable. Being a member of a faction is very fun too, I really wanted that in SoC. Although faction quests and other side quests are very repetitive, I fought for factions for more than 5-6 hours. There is a point in faction wars in which you cannot do anything anymore, but before reaching there, it's very fun. So far so good, right? Let's talk about game mechanics. I'm not a very good FPS player but I have a habit that whenever I play an FPS game, I select the hardest difficulty level. But guess what? CS is hard. Really hard. Of four difficulty levels, I selected 4, after playing for 20 minutes at most, I had to change to 3, then 2. But it's not because I was acting stupid, I always play RPG-like FPS games slowly, have more equipment, better weapons and armor, then go. After the enemies started throwing grenades, I realized that was not my fault. That was the AI. They hit you. Hard. And when they throw a grenade, it lands at most 50 centimeters from your feet. Then boom, quick load. The loading times are much longer than Max Payne 3. I think they should change the loading strategy if you're loading the same map. Steam tells me I played 21 hours and i think about 1 hour of it is loading. And about storyline. I read some comments about how bad the story is, but I liked it. I don't want to give spoilers but come on people, the last part was really good (and hard).
    Overall, it's a good game, not as good as SoC but good enough for it's price (currently $2.5). The AI could have been better, game logic could have been better, side quests could have been more interesting. But still, it's a S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the essence is still there.    … Expand

It would have been a lot better to just focus on few groups in the story missions or something else instead of what it's now. The combat lacks in good weapons. From the few weapons I used, everyone of them were as accurate as a hippo trying to shoot a gun for the very first time. It's just bad design choice to purposefully let weapons be as inaccurate as in this game.

    If you want to visit Chernobyl, I recommend a lot more of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat. The atmosphere is a lot better, the story doesn't feel like an excuse and the combat is a lot better. This game is still enjoyable but it's more like prototype version of CoP.    … Expand

The turf war is introduced in the beginning but that is the last you will hear about it as the main storyline is strictly linear with no player choices. Twice during my playthough i came to an unavoidable part where i would lose all of my money. This in effect caused me to be unable to purchase any higher end armor so when i reached the later stage of the game i had poor armor that was basically ineffective. Aimbotting enemies that can see through bushs and brush, and that can land a grenade directly at your feet from 50+ yards ruins the game even further. The map is expansive, but unfortunately it is almost a complete carbon copy from the first game with the exception of 2-3 areas. Weapons degrade faster than a condom and you will often find your gun jamming at the most inopportune times, unable to buy a better weapon or repair your current one because the game decided to rob you of all your cash a few missions earlier. "Friendlies" will randomly become hostile to you for no reason, even ones that are supposed to give you some dialogue, this forces you to reload a previous save again and again until the game decides to act like it is meant to. The atmosphere is even worse than the first one, there are no scares or exploration, it's basically just a straight up shooter. Overall it is just a complete disaster of a game that you should avoid at all costs.… Expand

What breaks Clear Sky is the amount of bugs it has. The shooting mechanics are also terrible, you can hit a bandit (the weakest human opponents in the game) with 5 shotgun shells from 20 feet away and they will be fine, the recoil is ridiculous and the damage is pathetic, even with he upgrade system for weapons it's still terrible. Yet another problem that really bugged me was the fact that all the NPC's in the game are voice acted by no more than 2 different voice actors, sometimes you'll come across a group of friendly stalkers that are all speaking in the same voice and saying the exact same thing over and over again. Other people who give this game negative reviews say that the graphics are the only good thing about it, well that is true but the game is so poorly optimized that you could have a top-notch gaming PC and still get under 25 fps on max settings.

I even felt surprised at how GSC Game World managed to add something so different from their previous title to the same world, without messing it up. That, along with fixing a big part of that buggy game-play from SoC, was what amazed me at first, when I played through the swamps. I guess what I felt about the game at that point was: "This is going to be really good!" However, it turned out not to be so. That feeling quickly turned into "Whoa, that was fast, leaving this place, I wonder when I'll get back here", ever since I left the swamps. Too bad for me though, cause I never did! It seems that you barely ever have any time to explore the world, since you're always headed for the next mission, often because someone is calling out for help; they taught you not to ignore those calls way in the beginning, and that along with my experience from playing SoC, where every choice you make matters, I haven't ignored a single one. This resulted in me being paced to the next part of the main quest, rather than exploring the world. I can't even tell you whether it's even worth exploring!

    What else is, the storytelling; it's REALLY bad. The whole story was basically neglected. There are holes in the story between SoC and this game the size that you could drive a truck right through them! It doesn't even seem to be an attempt to be mystical; it really just seems to have been forgotten. I don't want to spoil it for any of you who might actually play it, but the ending isn't any better. So, all that, along with a ton of other relatively small issues (they would be big in other games), my conclusion comes to this: The game most of all seems like a spin-off from Shadow of Chernobyl, an attempt to get some easy money out from the players who like the first title. The story is not worth much, and neither is much of the rest of the game, if you play it after having tried the original, in which case all I would say is good about it, is the fact that it feels a lot like the original game in some ways, however, the lack of an even decent story overshadows it. GSC Game World really had a big shot at filling out a bunch of [u]very[u/] interesting holes in the original story, but they failed miserably in doing so. If you miss SoC so much, that you just need to go back, this won't be much to find, unless you can live with the disappointing story. In that case, the slightly improved graphics and features (PDA, Upgrade-system, Faction-wars) might make up for some of it. Thank you for reading through this. It was done in a very short time, but I don't feel like I owe it to this game, sadly, what a big chance wasted...    … Expand

    An epic bugfest at the time of realease, CS got a fair amount of official patches and community mods since, bringing the game to playable quality, but still, it's by far the least good one in the series. If you're a die-hard fan of SoC, you can have some fun with this game too, but if you're not as forgiving, then you can pass on it with clear conscience.
