S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky - Enhanced Edition

Overall grade: C Enjoyable? At least I don’t regret playing it Recommended? To fans of post-apocalyptic, old school FPSs, but overall tougher to recommend / skippable due to its anticlimactic end and recycled story and maps. The core of what makes this good is found in other STALKER games, so I’d recommend any other game in the franchise instead Replayability: Low/None: I’ll avoid replaying CS and revisit SOC enhanced edition, if I ever get the urge ++typical STALKER gameplay: methodical combat, tons of scavenging / looting that’s vital to your survival, inventory management with weight limit, gear degrades with use/damage, progression (better gear and tougher enemies as you go) +atmosphere: huge outdoor maps (woodsy mostly), extremely hostile environments, weather and time systems, pitch black PM hours requiring flashlight use +Lymansk marks a shift from sandbox to linear, which I enjoyed, specifically in Lymansk and at the Hospital +/-difficult early on due to poor gear ie weapons sucked +/-recycled maps: makes sense, given how CS and SOC intertwine, and I somewhat enjoyed revisiting these levels, but it did feel a lil half-assed +/-I’m glad there’s a fast travel option but t…

Its good!

old gem but play with mods

Plays fine and run solid. Definetly copule tweeks and glitches here and their but nothing crazy but just in case recomend a guide or couple saves just in case theirs a hard lock or moment where my gear dissapered when moving bodies betwen maps. just had to move gear to other dead body and save load etc.. Alos for love an open world game where it doe snot overstay its welcome even at 30 hours.

Maybe not as great as SOC, but close. This one is also quite a bit harder on Master difficulty because of the bleeding mechanic. Great setting and mood just like SOC.
