One of my most favorite experiences in any medium, although probably uniquely possible as a video game. This is one of the best games ever made to me. Experiencing it meant a lot to me, taught me things about myself and still to this day, once I hear the music the feelings come back. I think this is what is truly meant when someone says that they fell in love with a game! It's so free as the space in it, let's you just go out and do your thing and all the while the story slowly writes itself into your mind. Oh and the story is just something else. Truly a masterpiece of art and definitely should be preserved!!_antiheld_

Played this on game pass and would love to own it. Beautiful sound track! The art of the visuals are beautiful to look at. The mysteries behind the game were so engaging. I didn't go in completely without knowledge, the amount I learned actually helped set the tone but caution, some may want to go into this with knowing little as possible. It's not an action game, it's more explore, mystery and sci Fi adventure. I would go in more detail on my experience but if per chance someone reading this have not played this game, you need to and try not to get too much info on it.

It is the best game I've ever played. It's a shame that this experience can be played thru only once. It is a masterpiece, I would really love to see it preserved forever.

In terms of exploration and how the developers integrated puzzle-solving into the exploration and traversal, Outer Wilds is still the best. It also holds the record for how many times I had huge revelations that completely changed how I looked at the world. It's so hard to talk about without giving anything away because even the tiniest hint can steal the mind-blowing experience you would have figuring things out on your own. You only get one chance to experience that for yourself because once you know, you know. If Outer Wilds has been in your backlogs, do yourself a favor and play it next. Only 1 other game has come close to making me have those huge revelations and that was Tunic. Play that one too.

I am yet to play Outer Wilds, but have become aware of the gravity of the game (pun intended?). I would very much prefer to own it via GOG than other platforms.

I doubt I'd replay this if it were on GoG, it's simply not meant to be replayed. I do, however, wish that this artistic masterpiece (Outer Wilds unironically made me appreciate the artistic potential of the medium in a way I hadn't even considered beforehand) was available for generations to come for those lucky enough to be able to go in blind

I haven't played this game personally, but it's one of my friend's favourites and I've heard nothing but great things about it. I want to get it myself and I'd much prefer to get it on GOG as opposed to on Steam. I like Steam well enough, but if they ever stop playing nice or Gabe's replacement isn't as good, all the games I have on there may as well be gone. So I'd very much like this game to come to GOG.

This game aggressively re-iterated to me that games can be and are pieces of art. Outer Wilds left an impression on me I will hold with me likely for the rest of my life. It is such a perfect distillation of the joy of exploration and discovery. The soundtrack is legit one of the best OST's, one I listen to constantly. The story of the game is cosmically beautiful, it made me re-evalutate what was important to me in my day to day life. This is one of the few games that I was able to not only annoy my friends enough to play, but when they did play it each one of them said its now one of their favorite games of all time. Its not for everyone, but if it clicks with you its guarenteed to leave a lasting impression. I want to have this game forever. I want to make sure my children can play this game, and hopefully their children can play this game. Having a DRM free version of the game makes that possible.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

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.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
