The first hours of the game put the protagonist on the trail of the impact sites of military aircraft, an expedient of gameplay that unfortunately goes to impact on the rhythm of the introductory phase, extremely bland.ĭespite a decidedly more marked use of the scripts compared to what was seen in the predecessor, the long and solitary exploratory phases, the lack of interesting firefights and the mediocrity of the cut-scenes cannot create that magic and that involvement that the first game was able to summon, nor to drag the player as he did Clear Sky, made dynamic at least by the many fights.

Unlike the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky stand-alone expansion, whose temporal location made it a prequel, STALKER: Call of Prypiat picks up the story from where we left it at the end of the first episode. Three years after the release of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, the developers of GSC Game World invite us to return to the zone, proposing the first true official sequel of the lucky brand.
