This combines the maps of all 3 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, right?
So which game's gameplay does it use? And what does it do with the stories and missions?

It's a sandbox with rng quests. It's a mod for those who were lost in the zone and don't look for a way back.

Call of Pripyat

2 different modes, story and sandbox. sandbox mode has random quests you can get from almost any stalker walking around. haven't tried story yet, but i think it's a unique story.
In terms of fun factor, how does this compare to the other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games? Like rank it along with the 3 official games.
Runs on CoP, its mostly sandbox with extra modes. Story mode is mostly the same questline of the first game but combined with all the maps.
I like it but the AI in non CoP maps is braindead. If you ever wanted Stalker to be a sandbox this is for you
It plays like CoP with a hardcore mode
There's no zoom on base ADS and your enemies have the accuracy of aimbots
To add to that you pretty much die in 2 hits by base loadouts so death is real fast
You mostly do procedural missions
Like getting shit and bringing it to people or killing random assholes.
There's an optional main story mode which mimics SoC main line bit.
I mean I'm gonna be frank, this game isn't exactly "fun" to me. It really banks on immersion, skill/knowledge, patience, and quicksaving.
That said: I have like 10+ hours in it the past week and a half I've been playing it.
So I recommend it for every S.T.A.L.K.E.R fan after playing the main games. But it may not be for everyone.
If you've already played the original/ZRP versions of the other game it's a pretty great way to get some more time out of the game.
Call of Chernobyl is mostly boring since gear progression is fucked. You can get immensely good gear in the first firefight you witness since the NPCs drop good weapons and/or armor. It's actually pretty easy. This can be alleviated by modding the hell out of Call of Chernobyl yourself or playing a total conversion (modpack) based on CoC like Anomaly or Dead Air.
tl;dr Call of Chernobyl is good as a base for other mods but not much else.
Speaking of stalker, I've always heard bad things about clear sky. Is it worth playing or should it be skipped?
worth a playthrough
