While S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl holds our hearts close these days, anyone interested in a more modular experience can now play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly on GOG, so long as you own a copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat – Enhanced Edition on the platform. Anomaly is a free download, and it’s a single-click install of the mod, which historically required its own launcher and setup—a total drag!
Again, this is a mod, so it doesn’t cost a penny to download and play on GOG. So long as you have Call of Pripyat – Enhanced Edition, just hit ‘Add to Cart’ or ‘Buy Now’ to connect Anomaly to your GOG account, then open Galaxy and download!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Features
A Living, Breathing Zone
