Good game. With some usual slav jank and bugs. The Enhanced editions are a disgrace tho. Arguably more bugged than the original. And they don't enhance ♥♥♥♥ only remove some soviet symbols and stuff. I get it, there is a war and stuff but I don't like 1984 Ministry of Truth behaviour. Don't try to rewrite history just because you are mad bro. Maybe it's not nice or good or moral but it's still part of history, still part of the truth. And part of the original stalker experience. Edit: I spent some time since my review to dig into this and I completely understand now why the censorship and all. It is simply the lowest level manifestation of the most corrupt, authoritarian, mental, POS country on Earth with a bunch of ACTUAL nazis behind the public figures. It is exactly what I thought, it is censorship and propaganda from the "ministry of truth". Oh , boy it was a rabbithole to go down to! The state betrayed it's own people pfofiteering on their death, building literal gold toilets while many "soldiers" die even before they reach the front and even in the front they get ♥♥♥♥ on by their own comrades and officers, giving little to no support, medevac or ♥♥♥♥♥ about their own countryman. Kidnapping people from the streets like the father with an excemption from military service whom was dead just 4 hours after the "recruiters" took him out of his car on the highway and left his two children alone on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ highway with no ♥♥♥♥♥ given about them. And this is just the top of the iceberg. They also did and keep doing everything to provoke not only Russia - which is understandable - but allies, countries that actively help them - which is mind boggling. They keep disrespecting and insulting European leaders, especially their neighbours, Poland(where they were meddling with elections and did multiple false flag maneuvers to bait Poland to war with Russia, not to mention they quite proud of the Nazi Bandera whom killed about 100.000 Polishman in WW2), Slovakia and Hungary whom give significant support in materials, fuel and electricity + a safe country to Ukrainians as they grant refugee status to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. They endangered the whole continents economy and stability not only begging/scamming extraordinary amount of money out of the EU(very large sums disappear BTW, never to be seen again) but also by blowing up the Nordstream which put all of Europe in a difficult position, for Example Germany where the energy prices raised significantly. Which in turn ♥♥♥♥♥ up the German industry even more than it was and threatens with significant consequences down the line, including economical collapse. I never seen such selfishness. These people have no honor. I also never seen such an ungrateful pos than Zelenski and his merry band of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. They also did AND keep insulting the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump and his administration on twitter and sometimes in person(lest just think about the suit incident for a sec). ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing to me that the US did say yet: "ok, ♥♥♥♥ this" and shuts down Starlink in Ukraine. They already achieved with their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing diplomacy that The US is unwilling to give them any more weapons and support without money. Oh, yeah, I don't even mention the assassinations, blackmail, intimidation of not only political opponents but journalists and civilians. It's really just too much to list. These mofs do everything to provoke everyone they can and make everyone mad at them and only the ungodly amount of propaganda on the west and oppression in their own country that keeps the people from knowing how incredibly evil, hateful, corrupt and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the Ukrainian state is. But as soon as this veil of propaganda disappears they will have a lot to answer to. The state has let down and betrayed the Ukrainian people, they see them as less than dogs and did more damage to the country and the people Ukranie, than the Russians ever could. Oh, and BTW I am not Russian and I do not support the war, or Russia or the destruction of Ukraine. But I also do not support the Zelensky shaped parasite and his nazi band that sucks the life out of my beloved Europe so his wife can buy jewels in Paris for 40 million Euros. I think they should be on trial already just like in Nunberg for everything they did. They are really incredibly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up criminals, all of them! Together with Ursula Bin Laden whom is traitor to Europe. I do recommend you do your own research and go down on this rabbit hole because it's just some next level of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. The game is good tho and I hope the Ukrainian people will soon be free from their own treacherous leaders and warmongering western leaders whom seem to be hell bent on pushing the whole Ukrainian population to die while simultaneously bankrupting and collapsing every European country, and they can get back to making good games instead.

Please play the Misery mod for this, it's one of the best experiences I've ever had in a video game. STALKER Call of Pripyat is the culmination of the trilogy, taking everything fans loved from the previous games and refining it into a near perfect experience. It elevates the series with a polished, immersive world that still captivates today. Set after Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky, the game follows the aftermath of a failed military operation in the Zone and the mysterious disappearance of several helicopters. The story is subtle but satisfying, tying up loose ends while introducing new mysteries. The quest to uncover the truth about the helicopters, alongside the challenge of navigating and surviving the Zone’s anomalies, provides a strong narrative backbone. The open world design is exceptional. Pripyat and its surrounding areas dense forests, eerie industrial zones, and the haunting city itself are more detailed than ever. Each area feels alive, packed with small stories and secrets, and the pacing strikes a perfect balance between tense exploration, combat, and quiet moments of suspense. Gameplay improvements are significant. Combat is smoother and more responsive, and the enhanced A Life system makes encounters with mutants and humans dynamic and unpredictable. New weapons, equipment upgrades, and a streamlined inventory system make gear management easier without losing the survivalist feel. Faction dynamics have been handled thoughtfully. Unlike Clear Sky, there are no constant faction wars, giving players more freedom to explore the Zone and focus on survival, discovery, and uncovering the secrets of the anomalies. Atmosphere remains the game’s strongest asset. Haunting sound design, immersive weather effects including the iconic electrical storms and the constant tension of the Zone make every step feel dangerous. The distant roars of mutants and the eerie crackle of anomalies add layers of suspense that linger long after playing. STALKER Call of Pripyat is a masterful finale to the trilogy. With improved gameplay, an expansive and atmospheric world, and a gripping narrative, it’s a must play for fans and newcomers alike, cementing the series as one of gaming’s most unique and unforgettable franchises.

Ignore the enhanced edition and just play this. It's superior in every way to the enhanced "historical revisionism" Edition. You can still find the old games with a google search. Absolute bitchmove, GSC. Shove your enhanced edition up your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass.

Play this rather than the enhanced edition. Runs better even with mods and looks sharper.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is a worthy conclusion to the original trilogy that not only preserves the atmosphere of the Zone but also elevates the gameplay to a new level. It is the most polished and stable entry in the series, with many of the issues from previous games addressed. The game offers three large, detailed locations filled with secrets, quests, and characters that live their own lives. There is a real sense of freedom here: you can follow the main story or simply roam the Zone, hunt mutants, search for artifacts, or complete side missions. The anomaly system and artifact hunting with detectors add tension and excitement to the gameplay. The story is delivered subtly yet engagingly: you play as Major Degtyarev, sent to investigate a failed military operation. The game reveals the aftermath of the events from Shadow of Chernobyl in a calm, thoughtful way, showing great respect for the lore. Call of Pripyat features excellent optimization, a powerful atmosphere, and countless opportunities for exploration. It's a game that doesn’t rush you — and that’s exactly its strength. It rewards patient and attentive players, letting you truly feel like a stalker. Conclusion: Call of Pripyat is a mature and well-crafted game that perfectly wraps up the trilogy. A must-play for fans of the series and anyone who enjoys atmospheric post-apocalyptic games. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Зов Прип’яті — гідне завершення оригінальної трилогії, яке не лише зберігає атмосферу Зони, а й виводить геймплей на новий рівень. Це найбільш відполірована та стабільна частина серії, у якій враховано помилки попередніх ігор. Гра пропонує три великі та детально опрацьовані локації з безліччю секретів, завдань і персонажів, що живуть своїм життям. Тут відчувається справжня свобода дій: можна йти за сюжетом або просто досліджувати Зону, полювати на мутантів, шукати артефакти чи виконувати побічні місії. Система аномалій і пошуку артефактів за допомогою детектора додає геймплею напруги та азарту. Сюжет подається ненав’язливо, але досить цікаво: ти граєш за майора Дегтярьова, якого відправили розслідувати провал військової операції. Гра розкриває наслідки подій Тіні Чорнобиля спокійно, без зайвого драматизму, з глибокою повагою до лору. У Зові Прип’яті чудова оптимізація, потужна атмосфера та багато можливостей для дослідження. Це гра, яка не квапить — і саме в цьому її сила. Вона винагороджує уважного гравця та дозволяє по-справжньому відчути себе сталкером. Підсумок: Зов Прип’яті — зріла й продумана гра, яка відмінно завершує трилогію. Обов’язкова до проходження для всіх шанувальників серії та поціновувачів атмосферних постапокаліптичних ігор.
