Hello! I’m looking for any game recommendations on GOG – especially anything that’s on sale! Tell me about your favorite few games that you have on GOG, or maybe some gems in the rough out there. I’ve seen a few threads on Steam lately, so it feels appropriate to me to look for some love on one of the smaller game systems. I’ll mention a couple of my favorites, but feel free to mention anything you like!
Rimworld - An alien-planet civilization sim kind of game. I’ve gotten many hours out of this one. And with some mods and DLC… oh man. I might be ashamed to see how many hours I’ve played it.
Northgard - I think you’d call this an RTS. Super rad, wish it was longer. I’ll swing back around and re-play the whole campaign sometime. I just now noticed they have an expansion pack, so maybe I’ll get that soon.
Sid Meier’s Railroads - Railroad sim. Another one that I’ve dumped a ridiculous number of hours into.
Faster Than Light (FTL) - rogue-like spaceship game?! I don’t know how to describe it, but I loved it.
I also recently picked up Starship Troopers: Terran Command and Graveyard Keeper, but haven’t taken the time to play them, yet. I have Stardew Valley on GOG – Not an all-time favorite, but definitely got my money’s worth and had fun with it.
A few I’ve had my eye on but would love to hear outside opinions: Patron, Space Crew, Mars Base. They look interesting, and probably any little nudge would get me to buy and try.
I literally just posted about a few of these in another thread. :)
Decent: Freespace and Freespace 2 are the best Space Fighter - Dog-Fighting Tactics games I’ve played. They still hold up to this day. And the voice-acting is great.
Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2 are also solid games, although more in the silly corner. Dig out a dungeon, build rooms to attracts creatures of the dark, train them and go to war against the foul knights and kings of the overworld.
The OG Fallout games are always worth a mention. Fallout and Fallout 2.
If you’re into old disturbing point and click puzzle games Sanitarium is a classic.
Or a bit more laid-back storytelling with mysteries, maybe? Then Oxenfree is worth looking into.
In the FPS category I recommend the Metro games. Well, the two first one anyway. Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. Stealth is optional, but advised. :p
I’d also be amiss not to mention Soma. It’s a scary game and a solid mindfuck at the same time. Approach with caution.
That’s my list for now. I hope there’s something in there you can use. :)
