Score: 7/10
Reviewer: Thomas Blichfeldt
Excerpt: "By closing off the rest of the world, GSC have created a game unspoilt by time, that offers an original experience if you are on the same wave length as the developer."

Reviewer: Jukka Moilanen
Excerpt:
"S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky bugs me. The dynamic play model has so much potential, but as with so many Eastern games, the execution is not up to par. Unreliable weapons and bad game design choices spoil most of the enjoyment. If GSC Game World would have taken 6 months more to polish the game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky could've been a real gem."

Score: 8/10
Reviewer: Adrian Berg
Excerpt:
"This is a game that can be both entertaining and involving when you get into it, and I can guarantee that after a round of Stalker, that nuclear disaster will sound like a tempting proposition."
Sweden: Read the full review in Swedish
Score: 6/10
Reviewer: Martin Forsslund
Excerpt: "Clear Sky is exactly like Shadows of Cernobyl in that it has a fair amount of dialogue for an action game. You have to keep up with what is happening or less the game will loose its depth. If you don't invest yourself in the story Clear Sky will feel like a flat, shallow and old game dressed in different shades of brown."
