We've been looking forward to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky for some time now, first because we desperately wanted to return to the unique world, and second because we hoped a sequel would give the developers a chance to present a more stable and consistent experience than we got the first time around. And while the basic approach and concept of the game is still as original and interesting as ever, the rough edges make it at best unpleasant, and at worst nearly unplayable.

If you missed the first game, shame on you. The wide-open world offered a kind of freedom not seen in most first-person shooters. Loads of moody details and atmosphere gave the world a sense of depth and realism, while the unpredictable anomalies and mutants and mercenaries made it a dangerous and often terrifying place. In short, it was a strange mix of elements that managed to captivate a number of gamers in spite of its abundant bugs. Clear Sky offers more of the same, adding several entirely new elements and lots of new content but some of the changes shift the emphasis of the game into directions that may not be entirely welcomed by some fans of the original game.
