Hi.
I'd like to ask where to check current game version published on GOG for purchase.
I'm intereseted in buying a game, but I see there are new updates on Steam. Where can I chack if game version available here is up to date or developer does not care about his game here?

For many games, users (and, in some cases, even devs) post changelogs in the dedicated forum for that game or series. However, this is rather hit-or-miss, since not every game has fans (or devs) who're semi-regular GOG forum users willing to repost each new changelog there.
The most reliable way would be to visit the third-party GOG Database, search for the game in question (and make sure it's the entry whose "Product type" is "Game" or "DLC", not "Package"), and select the "Downloads" tab. You can see the version numbers for the offline installers there. (The "Changelog" tab can also be useful.) I don't know if there's any way to see the actual version number for the Galaxy build, but it should always be either the same version as the standalone installer build, or newer. EDIT: As Catventurer points out below, there is indeed a separate "Builds" tab that has version info (though I suspect the naming/numbering of these client-delivered builds might sometimes be different from Steam's, even when the content is functionally the same). I don't use Galaxy, so I guess I became so used to ignoring that tab that I forgot it existed! XD
(There have been cases where the self-contained installers for a game have lagged behind the Galaxy build for weeks, but I don't know if there are currently any such cases. Generally speaking, Galaxy gets updates first [since they don't have to go through the extra packing and verification stages that offline installers do], then the installers come within a day, or -- normal worst-case scenario -- a few days.)

GOG Database, which is also good for checking a game's sale history:

https://www.gogdb.org

To check the game version, find the game you want, then click on "Builds." There are some games that have been out a long time that have no build version history.


You can also post a question asking for someone who owns whatever game it is to check the current version where GOG Database doesn't have version information.
Apart from GOGdb, you might also want to search the what just updated and second class citizens threads.
Thank you all for answers.
I found information I was searching for,
