make sure you got enough ammo and healing stuff before going accross the bridge... i just spent 2 hours beating the game with 0 med kits and having to loot bodies over and over.. was a bit annoying.. otherwise fun game.

I liked this game a lot when I first played it. I understand people's dislike for it now. I had a tough time pushing through it again. I will beat it more times, but its gone down to like a 6 for me now.

Terrible re-sell of classic game. Instead of fixing bugs, glitches and logics of A-Life, I think that it became worse. Maniacal spawn of mutants for some reason is a thing in two games of Enhanced Edition, not to speak

Verdict ✅ 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. My history with the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky was originally released in 2008

Oh my Mama's beads! I would burn my Sparkling Eye with Jellyfish Flame, for how this game is not that kind of Snowflake nor Night star to play. There is nothing enhanced about this game compared to the original, this is
