“Probably the best of the 3 in the orig-trig. It's still janky and buggy, but fun to play through.”
“Like the previous entries, Call of Pripyat is an FPS roleplaying game with open levels full of things to explore and dangers to encounter. As before, you don’t have any experience systems and cannot level up the main…”
“A great finale to the Zone trilogy! So playing through the Stalker games has honestly been a blast and we definitely ended on a high note with this one. Starting off with the visuals, this game definitely looks the best…”

“Still garbage In this "Enhanced Edition", they made the game darker, added censorship and new bugs For me, I found only two positives: 1) it rarely crashes (for comparison, Clear Sky crashed 20 times and then stopped…”
“The OG is better cuz modding and is not censored but this one runs better and I would wager that this one is better for normies who don't want any extras/fuss and just want "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." without all the crashing.…”
“So far this is my favorite of the original 3 games. Finally a different change of scenery. Many quality of life improvements: Easy to determine weapons and ammo when looting. Game encourages you to dump junk that can't…”

“Of course like 90% of the people here complaining, I received this game for free. Didn't hear much good about it but decided to try it out on my steam deck and was blown away. It's a solid little updated port featuring…”
“disclaimer: I got this version for free, however I already owned the original trilogy on Steam, which is why we were given the new enhanced editions for free! The game is fun, but not as fun as the original Stalker SOC,…”
“Arguably the most polished of the trilogy, and it benefits from that even in this enhanced version. Still delivers strong atmosphere, exploration, and survival tension—just with a light modern touch rather than a full…”

“Best of the original trilogy. It's story is the shortest, but every side mission has consequences for the future and makes the zone feel alive and filled with events. Achievements difficulty is somewhere in between…”
“freebie for owning the original. as for performance you're able to lower the graphics to make it look like the original game which shoots up the fps. they've added upscaling and new lighting/shadow features that will…”

“(I am focusing on the actual game. I don't have a problem with the enhanced version) This game changed my life. The game is the final game in the original trilogy and I think that it is perfect. The story is reasonable…”

“The best part of the trilogy, and even the remaster didn't ruin it. The graphics are blurry and the performance could be better, but at least you CAN PLAY THROUGH it without any major bugs compared to the other "enhanced editions"”
— a player, Steam review · 27 hrs played“One of the best small scale shooter RPG's. But worth playing original one, not the enhanced edition.”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“I have played the stalker franchise for over 16 years. Ive enjoyed the games so much and have been the biggest supporter of them.
