What I appreciate about Clear Sky Complete is that it does not detract from the original game via taking it in (problematic) new directions (Lost Alpha, we’re looking at you). You even get higher resolution textures, new weather models, new assets, enhanced AI behavior, and also the quality of life features such as the sleeping bag.

Rather, it enhances virtually everything. The mod compilation does not just cover individual aspects of the game. The Complete mods basically focus on improving the original game’s graphics, sound, and atmosphere when preserving its core elements. That is actually a series of modifications created via professional artists dedicated to enhancing the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.


GSC Game World, the developers of the series, bit off more than they could even chew with this game via introducing new features. This is odd as I absolutely loved Clear Sky. But, the middle game, 2008’s Stalker Clear Sky was never as well received. Both these games have a huge community and cult followings. Well, 2011’s Call of Pripyat actually refined the RPG-shooter formula and also opened up the series to a wider mainstream audience. In 2007, Shadow of Chernobyl enthralled PC gamers around the globe with one of the most atmospheric game environments ever crafted. The Stalker Clear Sky is actually the unwanted middle child in the Stalker series.
