GOG is the home of many Heroes fans (among other things), and while this is still in early access, it has the chance to be the best entry in the series since the legendary Heroes III. It would be a great fit for GOG, and GOG would be a great fit for this game.
Spent hours and hours playing this game. Bring me the nicest memories of computer gaming. It was kind of playing a role playing or a board game of which I got very fond of years later

I had one of the best moments in my life playing Heroes III. I believe this is going to be excellent and it definitely deserves to be on the list. This is must have!
Tried the Early Access and it still has a long way to go but it does feel more Heroes of Might & Magic like than most of the other games after HoM&M3 and given that it's still in development - it has a lot of potential. Hope that it ends up becoming a good enough entry in the franchise on it's own, and hope that it's available to buy DRM free too.

I avoid Steam and other launchers whenever possible. I don't like installing Steam or any other game launcher on my PC. The game launchers bother my OS. I prefer buying DRM-free games from GOG.

[GER] Ich habe Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era bisher noch nicht sonderlich lange gespielt, aber bereits die Demo hat bei mir ausgereicht, um mich zum Kauf zu bewegen. Seit 1995 begleite ich die Reihe, von den frühen Teilen bis einschließlich Teil 5; Heroes of Might and Magic III, inklusive der Horn of the Abyss-Mod, spiele ich auch heute noch regelmäßig. Gerade deshalb war mein erster Eindruck von Olden Era so positiv: Das Spiel erinnert mich in vielerlei Hinsicht an den für mich bis heute besten Serienteil. Danach ist die Serie leider deutlich abgeflacht. Wer Heroes III kennt und liebt, wird sich in Olden Era sofort zurechtfinden. Die Entwickler haben es geschafft, das klassische Grundgefühl der Reihe mit einer modernen Präsentation zu verbinden, ohne den Charakter der Vorlage aus den Augen zu verlieren. Genau das ist aus meiner Sicht der richtige Ansatz, um einer legendären Marke wieder zu altem Glanz zu verhelfen. Mein bisheriges Fazit fällt klar positiv aus, auch wenn es natürlich noch kein abschließendes Urteil sein kann. Beim Thema Early Access ist Vorsicht immer angebracht, denn man hat in der Vergangenheit oft genug erlebt, dass ambitionierte Projekte am Ende hinter ihren Möglichkeiten zurückblieben. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass Publisher Hooded Horse und Entwickler Unfrozen dem Spiel die nötige Zeit, die finanziellen Mittel und den gestalterischen Raum geben, um das bereits jetzt sehr solide Fundament sinnvoll auszubauen. Gelingt das, hat Olden Era das Potenzial, sowohl alte Serienfans als auch neue Spieler zu erreichen. Auch ein späterer, sinnvoll geplanter kostenpflichtiger Ausbau durch DLCs wäre für mich denkbar, sofern Inhalt und Umfang stimmen. Schließlich hat die Community der dritten Episode über viele Jahre hinweg mit Modifikationen und Fan-Inhalten bewiesen, wie viel Potenzial in diesem Spielprinzip steckt. In diesem Sinne könnte Unfrozen von der Erfahrung und Leidenschaft der langjährigen Fans durchaus einiges lernen.
I used to play HOMM3 since 1998 extensively, while returning back to it every 2-3 years. This new game "olden era" reminds me of that good old times more than any other predecessor. I would really love to have the opportunity to buy this game here, on GOG, 'cause I want to support this platform and don't want to buy it on Steam. As the game is in the early access right now, I would love to be able to join it while it's still available. Thank you in advance, dear GOG team!

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
