It's taken a while to get it sorted, but developer GSC Game World has finally managed to fix Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's wonky A-Life system as part of the post-apocalyptic shooter's latest massive update, meaning players can now expect a bit more life to their wasteland adventure as NPCs pursue their own goals and live their lives. There's a lot more besides A-Life, though; patch 1.5 introduces new features - players can now experience the Water Electric Tornado anomaly out in the Zone, for instance, and acquire the Kora handgun and Three-Line Rifle - as well as AI and combat improvements, balance adjustments and bug fixes, plus various quality of life additions. Eurogamer, if you're wondering, gave Stalker 2 three stars, calling it a "mess of bugs and jank that nonetheless stays faithful to the open world survival shooter of yesteryear."
