By far the best of the trilogy. Personally I still think it doesn't hold a candle to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in gameplay and freedom, but it has an amazing story and ambience with the best gameplay in the series.

The DLC are fun but flawed. Two Colonels is a great story that essentially works like a rail shooter. Sam's Story tried some things a little different from the base game, most ideas were good, but their implementation wasn't the best.

The optimization in this game is also pretty bad. I don't know if it's engine limitations, but getting it to work flawlessly can be a pain, even if you're well within the recommended specs.
