the GameA military expedition to the center of the Zone has mysteriously disappeared. To figure out the reason and status of the personnel, is your task as Major Degtyarev, a Security Service of Ukraine operative in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
UNCHARTED LANDS
The Exclusion Zone around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant flames with anomalous activity stronger than ever before. Emissions of destructive energy flood it day by day, as its heartlands are finally free to explore for the most experienced and brazen ones. So set your path through swampy Zaton, industrial zones of the “Jupiter” plant, the ghost town of Pripyat, and the top secret catacombs in which no stalker’s foot has set since the catastrophe.
NEW THREATS
The Zone becomes even more unpredictable and dangerous, distorting the fabric of reality with its energy. You’ll have to seek shelter during abrupt emissions and show great ingenuity in order to deal with the new types of anomalies. Get ready to face Chimera – the most fierce predator of these lands at night and telepathic mutant Burer at the darkest abandoned places.
THE SEQUEL TO THE STORY
The lone stalker lifestyle is neat – but in Call of Pripyat, you’ve got a special objective. Along the journey, you’ll meet plenty of vagabonds and dwellers. Be far-sighted and careful in your decisions: some of them can help in your investigation or shed some light on the mysteries of the Zone.

One of the greatest games of all time, bar none. HOWEVER you should buy it NOW, even though S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is less than a week away (for real this time!) because xrMPE just made finished their CO-OP mod!!! You can play the whole campaign co-op with up to four players. And if you already own the game, go get it now! The mod is FREE!!

This game still holds up today 2024 even without mods. Playing this cause the excitement that Stalker 2 is finally going to be released is too much.
The atmosphere of this game is amazing for a game that came out in 2010! The game systems and player choice is amazing! You are literally just dropped in to the zone and it up to you on how and when you complete your objectives. There is very little if any hand holding. There is no yellow paint on how to do anomalies you have to figure it out.

Anomaly, GAMMA, Escape from Pripyat... bunch of nonsense.
Real man play the vanilla trilogy without patches, crashing to desktop is peak Stalker.

just dont listen to all these anti grass enjoyers (aka redditors).... you can play however you want, play whatever modpack you like and in the order you like. If you wanna play GAMMA without the trilogy then do it.
Cheers

Fantastic game although the threshold to get into it is quite high.
The game does not hold your hand at all. You're forced to figure out pretty much everything yourself - including what to do. I always leave the wiki open in the background to figure out which quest to complete next.
A couple tips regarding things I've noticed in the game -
1. Play on the highest difficulty - apparently the damage your bullets as well as enemy bullets go down on the easier settings. This makes killing enemies a lot harder the easier the difficulty setting is.
2. Sell ammo to stalkers that wander around, sell guns to the merchant (Owl/Hawaiian) - I've noticed Stalkers of the world pay a lot more for ammunition than merchants.
3. Hunt artifacts - Any time you see an anomaly (freak lights/electricity/fires floating around/lots of noxious gas/etc) there's a high chance there's an artifact somewhere nearby. Press "O" to pull out your artifact detector, keep spamming "F" and recover those artifacts. Some give solid benefits regarding protection against radiation/fire/improves healing factor/etc. I learnt of how important they are almost 16 hours into the game.
Give it a chance as it's super easy to just quit in the beginning. The first time I tried it years ago, I did the same. Once you've passed a threshold, the game is a joy to play.
