Stalker has a 24-hour day-night cycle, and CoP finally features sleep as one of the basic features of the game. I expected trouble, but I figured I'd wing it. Nevertheless I found myself rigid with adrenaline as I entered one of the tougher complexes in the game, at night, low on ammunition. It doesn't quite muster the extreme tension of the underground 'dungeon' sequences, even though it returns to them on occasion. I've recently completed that edition of the game and my account of that experience follows.Ĭall Of Pripyat is almost certainly less frightening than the original, much-lauded game, Shadow Of Chernobyl. The third Stalker game, Call Of Pripyat, has been out in Europe and Russia for quite some time, but it has only just made the leap to English-language release.
