The events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat unfold shortly after the end of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Having discovered about the open path to the Zone center, the government decides to hold a large-scale military "Fairway" operation aimed to take the CNPP under control.
According to the operation's plan, the first military group is to conduct an air scouting of the territory to map out the detailed layouts of anomalous fields location. Thereafter, making use of the maps, the main military forces are to be dispatched. Despite thorough preparations, the operation fails. Most of the avant-garde helicopters crash. In order to collect information on reasons behind the operation failure, Ukraine's Security Service sends their agent into the Zone center.
From now on, everything depends on you.
Well the game is unlisted as of now, but I'll still write a review. Finally finished all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. OG trilogy, I can say while the third game is the most polished, it doesn't really have the immersion of the first game. Probably what taken me off a bit is the fact you can't harvest the mutants' body parts in this game. Your main source of money...
Stalker Misery 2.2 >>>
absolute cinema nearly 2 decades later!!
i honestly dont know if i like soc or this more, the gameplay is a massive improvement from clear sky and soc as guns feel like actual guns, progression however is arguably worse to me as you can get good guns within 2 hours of playtime, graphics are gorgeous even in 2026, the bugs are of course here but unlike stalker clear sky i never encountered...
peak
take your time and finish most if not all side missions
they're worth doing in this game
