Reviews
This game is a Pain in the ass, It is one of the worst experiences I have ever had 100% a game, I love stalker SOC and my heart will always belong to Prypiat, but giving this game a chance as I wanted to 100% the whole series in a row was a mistake. Trying to get all achievments for this game is as enjoyable as ripping out all your hair 1 by 1, the amount of times I got softlocked and had to restart was absolutely astronomical amounts of BULL, and also the world just feels 10x more boring in this one. Muntants are sparse exploration is as fun as playing one two with the crack of your ass and the ever so trustworthy teeth hole. I love stalker and I want everyone to try it but this game is just a skip it and you dont miss much experience If you wanna play stalker either start with any of the other games
Clear Sky was always the black sheep of the original trilogy, but this "Enhanced Edition" manages to exacerbate its worst design flaws while failing to fix basic technical friction. Between frustrating combat balance, broken economy traps, and unfair level design, this remaster proves that a coat of visual polish cannot save fundamentally tedious mechanics. Infuriating Encumbrance & Movement: Complete movement lock upon reaching weight capacity kills exploration. A generous carry weight increase (+500kg) or a gradual slowing mechanic is desperately needed to stop constant inventory micro-management. Broken Gunplay & Absurd Weapon Stats: Shooting feels atrocious, enemies act like total bullet sponges, and the internal balance is nonsensical when 9x19 pistol rounds somehow deal more damage than 5.56x45 rifle ammo. Removing pistol ADS only makes low-tier combat feel worse. Softlocks & Cruel Design Traps: The infamous Cordon machine gun nest right out of the Swamps remains an unbalancing, near-impossible death trap for new players. Compounding this are story events like the Bandit ambushes, which wipe your money and gear with zero practical way to recover your hard-earned progress. Visual & QoL Neglect: Nighttime lighting is pitch-black torture without proper visual tuning, graphic artifacts degrade the experience, dropped weapons clip messily around bodies, and the absence of first-person legs ruins character grounding.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 2: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Кривой кусок кала, продающийся по цене оригинальной игры. Решил сыграть в этот ремастер и сразу столкнулся с софтлоком на первой же миссии... Отряд просто не приходил на точку. Ок, кое как починил, продолжил игру. Время от времени происходили вылеты с зеленым жуком, хотя железо у меня нормальное, лучше среднего. Постоянные баги, как графические так и просто с логикой. Нпс застревают, тупят. Не стоит брать этот сгенеренный нейронкой кал, потратите нервы и время. Те кто пишут положительные отзывы либо не играли либо слепые
хочу посмотреть в глаза человеку который дал нпс возможность кидать гранаты
[h2]Verdict[/h2] ✅ Recommended, but only for fans of this type of game A rougher sequel that I enjoyed, but I would not want to replay it again. [h2]My history with the game[/h2] S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky was originally released in 2008 as the follow-up to Shadow of Chornobyl. Unlike the first game, I had never played Clear Sky before. The Enhanced Edition was my first full playthrough, and I finished it in 6 hours. I also used the Steam Workshop to add Czech dubbing, which made the experience much better for me. [h2]Quick signals[/h2] 💸 Value: ✅ Worth it for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans 🖥️ Requirements: ✅ Easy to run 🎨 Graphics: ✅ Old, but atmospheric ⏱️ Length: ✅ Around 6–10 hours 📖 Story: ✅ Decent 🎮 Difficulty: ✅ Manageable 🐛 Bugs: ⚠️ Still present [h2]What I liked[/h2] * The atmosphere of the Zone is still strong. * The game keeps the classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. feeling of danger, exploration, mutants, anomalies, and firefights. * It was interesting to finally experience this entry for the first time. * The Czech dubbing through the Steam Workshop helped me enjoy the game much more. * As a shorter experience, it works well enough for one playthrough. [h2]What didn’t work for me[/h2] * This game still has noticeable bugs. * I had a visual bug at night where random flashing lines appeared on the screen. * I also had a gameplay-breaking bug during the part where I had to drain water. Even after killing the mutant, the metal gate did not open and I could not continue. * Another gameplay-breaking bug happened when a soldier was supposed to place an explosive on a wall. Instead, the NPCs grouped together and crouched in one spot. Reloading an older save fixed it. * Many areas are reused from Shadow of Chornobyl, so the game feels less fresh. * Compared to the first game, it feels like the developers did not push this entry as far as they could have. [h2]Is it an endless game? How long to beat?[/h2] No, this is not an endless game. I finished it in 6 hours. Depending on your playstyle, side content, and possible bugs, it may take a bit longer. [h2]Who will love it[/h2] You will probably enjoy Clear Sky if you already like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., older PC shooters, post-apocalyptic atmosphere, survival elements, and games that are a bit rough but still unique. If you are new to the series, I would recommend starting with Shadow of Chornobyl first. [h2]Replay value[/h2] For me, replay value is low. I enjoyed my first playthrough, but because of the reused areas, rougher design, and bugs, I do not really want to play this entry again. [h2]Final note[/h2] S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Enhanced Edition is a decent game, but also a noticeably rough one. I enjoyed it as a first-time playthrough, especially with Czech dubbing from the Workshop, but the bugs and reused locations make it weaker than Shadow of Chornobyl for me. Recommended for one playthrough, mainly if you already like this type of game.
Игра хоть сама по себе ужасная, но с потенциалом. В ремастере почти ничего не исправили, хотя могли.
12h to finish, Veteran 39% of achievements (17/43) Stalker Clear Sky, where bandages are more valuable than guns, ammo, and artifacts. This is generally considered the worst Stalker game, and while I kinda agree, there is no bad Stalker game; even though it is worse than the others, it's still an above-average game. The last zone and the final fight are bad, and I mean really bad. Locked in a combat corridor, fighting enemies that grenade-spam and spawn right in front of you. Health packs and bandages almost never spawn, so I was quick-saving after killing an enemy and reloading when I got hit and started bleeding. YOU WILL BE BLEEDING NONSTOP IN THIS GAME! Bandages are like gold in the zone. Weapon accuracy is extremely poor, while it's trying to force the player into upgrading their weapons and sticking with a gun. Even with a maxed-out rifle, you will not hit where you are aiming.
"Enhanced edition" yeah, more like you "enhanced" the jank more. Playing on hardest difficulty and yes, it should be hard, but not to the point of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Spawning in after a level transition into a group of bandits getting my ears blown out. Automatics on the enemy side have pinpoint accuracy at times and devastating damage, meanwhile the same gun in your hands has the accuracy as if you were falling and running at the same time while standing, crouching or kneeling. Handguns are useful, but that was even in the og. It was funny the first few times, but the "reload into jammed gun" is getting old, they ain't even half durabilty, quite literally almost full, and they jam after a reload, who made that a possibility and said "it'll be fun"??? Still haven't fixed the faction mechanic, just try to play as a loner, for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake, so many issues of getting attacked "we need help now" spammed and ♥♥♥♥. Animals also don't drop loot still... Can't even rub out the bandits, but the mercs on the clear sky side you can? Joined Duty, first objective "have a foothold in garbage", goes to area, area used by free stalkers / loners, killed them because that's the only thing you can do, receive the message "capture more areas, but don't engage with neutral stalkers"... anyway couldn't hold the objective, cus loners wanted to capture it, so both factions just sat in each other, killed the loners, "good job, come back for a reward at base"... It even breaks the main story, like what the ♥♥♥♥? An objective is to literally talk to a freedom member and if you are Duty^^ well they skip the objective and you have a shootout with 10 or so guys. That npc's don't get affected by emissions or light is also quite stupid, meanwhile you are there, in the middle of a shootout, losing your vision and shaking as if you had drank 20 vodkas. And the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grenades, literally getting spammed, who copied who huh? Was it Call Of Duty World at War or this game? The music can be actually fire sometimes, honestly, that combat music on a first encounter was so unexpected, but that's the only good thing. Wait, last rant, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ recoil is painfully hilarious, on a scoped AK shots go random in a big circle, you aim and shoot at a standstill, only for the bullets to go below, to the left or right, as if they were shotguns. BTW, all games get an automatic negative review from me, because this doesn't justify the price increase, "enhancing" some ♥♥♥♥ and adding achievements which only shows how rushed and untreated this game is.
What a retarded piece of crap. One has to soooooooo retarded to even turn the balance of previous game into totally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥
