STALKER 2’s update 1.2 shows GSC’s dedication, and is a good sign of things to come
Despite having some areas that needed improvement, particularly in its artificial life feature (A-Life), STALKER 2 was generally stable before update 1.2 was released. The game wasn’t teetering on the brink of collapse after reaching about halfway through its narrative, and there was a faint hint of A-Life present in the NPC groups. GSC Game World might have opted to release one or two small updates for the project before focusing mainly on DLC development and wrapping up the game’s development.
