No special memory; I've not played it. I prefer to own games I pay for, so I've no intention of buying it on Steam. If they brought it to GoG I'd probably buy it.

When I discovered this game, it was like it was made for me. A game that rewards curiosity, where the very goal is to discover and learn. A game that shows you how beautiful the universe is, where you focus on small details to understand the whole. And the beginning of positive response to this stressful question : Why carry on if I won't survive all this ? This title is a love letter to science and life. And an incredible piece of art. I don't want it to disappear with the closure of stores like Steam or Epic.

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.

This is my favorite game of the 2010s decade and one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. The only bad thing about it is that I can't play it again for the first time. It definitely needs to be preserved for future generations. (Don't spoil it for yourself, play it blind.)

The sense of awe and wonder this game creates is incredible. I can get lost for hours just trying to figure out exactly what I should be doing. When you finally figure something out it's like a lightning strike in your brain making you want to get to the next big discovery after the next big discovery. If you like Subnautica, you'll love this.

I've had the chance to play this game spoiler free and it was such a crazy experience ! Discovering the mechanics and the story step by step was a treat, and the visual style and soundtracks are really great :) As for why I'd like it to be on GOG, well I'd like every game to be available DRM free forever so that everyone can keep enjoying the ones that moved them at some point. And having enjoyed this game as much, of course I'd like to be able to buy it here !

Freelancer
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.
