Standing on unstable ground, dreaming of a clear sky, but the light never stays long, and the weather is always overcast.

Game aged like milk, but it's the kind of milk that has an interestingly bad aftertaste, so you keep drinking it anyway, not sure if it's skim milk, or expired.

Pros: Atmosphere: The Zone feels alive and terrifying. With unpredictable weather, haunting sounds, and deadly anomalies, the environment keeps you on edge. Faction System: One of the coolest additions. You can align with different factions, making each playthrough feel unique. But beware—it’s a double-edged sword. Enemies you make won’t forget your actions. Upgraded Weapon System: The weapon upgrades are well-integrated and add depth to combat, allowing you to customize your guns to fit your play style. Cons: Brutal Difficulty: Even for veterans, the difficulty spike can be jarring. Expect to die... a lot. A lack of balance can make some sections feel frustrating rather than fun, especially in early-game skirmishes. Buggy at Launch: Though many patches have improved it, Clear Sky still has its share of bugs and performance issues that can interrupt the experience. Consider modding if you're running into trouble. Weak Storytelling: While the setting is intriguing, the storyline itself doesn’t have the same impact as Shadow of Chernobyl. Character motivations sometimes feel shallow, and it’s easy to lose track of the main story. Bleeding simulator: You bleed all the time and have to use bandages Overall: If you loved Shadow of Chernobyl and want to dive deeper into the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Clear Sky is worth it. Just be prepared for a fight—this game doesn’t hold your hand. It's a love letter to hardcore survival fans and those who want to experience the bleak, punishing beauty of the Zone. 5.5/10

DON'T SKIP CLEAR SKY! Clear Sky is generally considered the "worst" of the Stalker games as it doesn't have the quality story of Shadow of Chernobyl and lacks the polished gameplay of Call of Pripyat. However, even the "worst" Stalker game is still better than 99% of the modern triple A shit you see. Clear Sky adds a ton of new features and is overall a very solid entry in the franchise. I only encountered one completely game breaking glitch (3 minutes into the game lmao) and 0 crashes which is a massive improvement compared to Shadow of Chernobyl; you will still see the same bullshit game design and glitches present in the rest of the games, but Clear Sky fixes a lot of the shit seen in Shadow of Chernobyl. Also, Clear Sky expands upon the features seen in Shadow of Chernobyl with the inclusion of many new features; if you play the trilogy in release order (as you should), then you'll be slowly introduced to new features and slowly be introduced to the great world and story of Stalker. It may not be the best Stalker game, but comparison is the thief of joy, and if you judge Clear Sky without comparing it to the other 2, you'll see it's worth playing. I love every game in the series and recommend all of them which includes Clear Sky.

I had a very small penis before playing the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series and I was a virgin nothing of that has changed but the game is pretty good.
