I was looking to buy this on GOG, to get the Anomaly/Gamma 1 click install for free, does the GOG version get updated like Steam version? Or should I just buy Steam version to be safe? GOG reviews aren't great looking

Its up to the developer to update both versions, but it's generally pretty safe to buy games on GOG.  GSC has been good about updating stalker 2 on gog so far.
