A completely atypical experience at the end of the year, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl unfortunately did not come out free of bugs. After the deployment of three small patches, then finally a major one this week, the A-Life system has been greatly improved by GSC Game World, and a video shared by ZoneSlug shows that the Zone is much more alive than Before.
The world of STALKER 2 is much more alive with the new update, supporting video
Following the deployment of major patch 1.1, the main information of which you can find here, a player wanted to know if the A-Life system was indeed more effective than before.
If you haven’t heard of it, then a slight refresher is in order. This is a solution that causes actions taken by the player to reflect on the actions of the AI, which update as the player travels through the world.
For example, we can see in the video that the same group of bandits can confront stalkers to take control of an area, before taking the time to rest, then being surprised by wild boars.
The six minutes of video shared by ZoneSlug allow us to observe various situations.
If you want to see this for yourself, then you can dive into STALKER 2 on Xbox Series X|S and PC right now. From its launch, it integrated Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
