S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky

Summary

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, players roam the Zone as Scar, aligning with or opposing factions while hunting artifacts, upgrading gear, and surviving emissions and mutant threats to track the elusive Strelok. The faction war system and tougher anomaly/artifact loop made this prequel a divisive but influential entry that deepened the series’ reputation for tense, systemic open-world design.
