Ten of 2016’s niftiest releases and a limited selection of wonders on sale now.



2016 had its rough spots, but surely we can all agree on one thing: it's been a delightful year for video games. To cap it off, we’re putting ten great releases from this year on sale, alongside bundles of classics and modern wonders in the Goodbuy 2016 Sale!

Obviously, the hardest part has been picking just ten games. Through a particularly scientific process that may or may not have included copious amounts of eggnog and missing teeth, we have whittled down the list of GOG.com’s <span class="bold">10 Good Buys of 2016</span> (in no particular order) to:

<span class="bold">INSIDE</span>
The horrific, twisted, and morbidly beautiful followup to LIMBO is one of the most memorable experiences of the year and a damn fine puzzle-platformer to boot.

<span class="bold">Owlboy</span>
A endearing piece of pixel-art that warmed your hearts with its quirky cast of characters and unique platforming mechanics, which let you carry around those you care about.

<span class="bold">Starbound</span>
Recently updated and chock-full of fun activities and adventuring opportunities, Starbound is one of our year's most promising InDev graduates.

<span class="bold">Stardew Valley</span>
Simple, addictive, and endless, the absolute indie hit of the year (developed by just ONE guy) made us all into accomplished farmers, explorers, harvesters, and lovers.

<span class="bold">Grim Dawn</span>
Some here say that isometric aRPGs have a new king and that he's wearing some stunning gear, yields devastating weapons, and murders things with just a few mouseclicks.

<span class="bold">Obduction</span>
A spiritual successor to Myst from the magicians behind the original series, this first-person adventure transported us to stunning worlds, where the familiar and the strange collide.

<span class="bold">Darkest Dungeon</span>
Brutal and unforgiving, this roguelike dragged us down to the depths of despair before giving us a glimpse of hope in the form of a well-timed critical hit. Then our team died. Again.

<span class="bold">Day of the Tentacle Remastered</span>
Tim Shaffer's offbeat point'n'click reminded us of the art of time-travel thanks to the tastefully updated presentation now enhancing its impeccable puzzle design and timeless humour.

<span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine</span>
Geralt's last hurrah was a dark, whimsical, and occasionally emotional adventure in the breathtaking region of Toussaint, the perfect farewell to our battle-hardened, award-winning hero.

<span class="bold">Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun</span>
The game that single-handedly revived the stealth/tactical genre made popular by Commandos. The amazing Japanese setting and fine-tuned gameplay definitely played a role in that.



You can also round out your collection with a selection of classics and modern gems up to 90% off, including Neverwinter Nights 2, Homeworld Remastered, Rebel Galaxy, The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Grim Fandango Remastered, and Fallout 1 & 2, to name a few. Plus, scratch that sudden STAR WARS itch with bundles including Rogue Squadron 3D, Battlefront II, Shadows of the Empire, Galactic Battlegrounds, Knights of the Old Republic, and more.

Plus, for the first time ever, Blood and Wine, Hearts of Stone, and the <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Expansion Pass</span> for the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are 40% off! If you haven't upgraded to GOTY yet, this is the best way to leave the year on a high note.



The Goodbuy 2016 Sale might not be huge, but you’re guaranteed to find plenty of awesome games to add to your collection. The sale will last until December 28, 10:59 PM UTC.
Been an interesting year with for me some great releases Homeworld, Titan Quest, Chrysis to name a few. Although wish we got The Bethesda games such as Oblivion and Fallout New Vegas but hopefully 2017 will grant us that.

Fonzer: Looked at bethesda elder scrolls bundle and it's bugged,selecting 2 games will make morrowind sell at full price instead of discount,so either select one or 3 games to get better discounts
I bought with my last ten euros elder scrolls oblivion on steam.. Well I guess i could have picked worse.

MasodikTiasma: I still don't get the point of bundles where the discount rate doesn't get better the more titles you buy...
This isn't me bitching, I honestly don't get it. In the last three sales, many (not all) bundles didn't offer any special discount beyond the reduction already applied to individual games. Why bundling the games if the price isn't more interesting ? Am I missing something?
I presume it's meant to be an easier way to browse then actually a traditional bundle. As in, here are some RPGs that are on sale. I think the confusing thing is they do both side by side without differentiating.
Think of it like the weekly sales, they're basically presented the same way (separate page with games on sale on it) so this is just like multiple weekly sales all at once.

Elderscolls "bundle" on gog? :P
Broken age is a beautiful game, but the second half becomes wierd and loses its charm. The first half is a masterpiece
Decent sale, might grab a few titles. :)

Sadly, I've heard this a few times already. Too bad, I really like the style of the game. :(

It looks like a good sale to me -- Dragon Age is greatly discounted. Also, Worms Armageddon (one of the best Worms games -- imo THE best) has a great discount. Age of Decadence is also very nicely discounted and the same can be said for other games too (Arx Arx Arx!). All in all, a good sale and the fact that it is small in scale, should make it easier to choose what to buy.
Well, Arx Fatalis finally discounted. I have a DVD version, but yay for people who wanted it :)
I still have the bravo screenfun version of arx fatalis,were there any special updates?
Will be hard to find the cd or dvd though.
Never could get past a barrier back in the day since i didn't have internet and didn't find any info about it,still haven't looked for it.
And morrowind i played the original version without add-ons and didn't like it too much, enjoyed oblivion without add-ons more than morrowind.
