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.

    Some of the most popular games are on GOG - Tomb Raider (classic) series, Prince of Persia series, Baldur’s Gate series, The Elder Scrolls series (including Skyrim) and several others. Modern titles apart from The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077 include Horizon Zero Dawn, A Plague Tale, Disco Elysium and Psychonauts 2. But perhaps the best known titles on GOG are indie platformers like Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forest and Terraria.
