DoomSooth: Battlefleet Gothic Armada works in Windows 7, if you do what Jagantoe suggests here:

https://www.gog.com/forum/battlefleet_gothic_armada_series/battlefleet_gothic_armada_do_not_start/post35

The sequel works without having to do anything special. Go figure.
Added, thanks :)

Shadow Empire runs on W7. Superb mix of 4x and wargame if you're so inclined.

Yes, it´s stated as minimum requirement :)

AB2012: ...(since GOG have stopped listing that in favour of just writing W10 in both "minimum" and "recommended" whether it's actually needed or not)...
Listing W7 as min requirement would mean "officially supported". And if the devs don't promise it, GOG can't either. I can live with "Should work, but YMMV", so *yay* @thread.

I get the logic behind that but the store as a whole looks an inconsistent mess when GOG only use that new "minimum is support not minimum" method for some 2020-2021 releases whilst thousands of older titles are based on what they actually run on, eg, The Adventures of Shuggy and Escape Goat Minimum = XP. It's awesome of GOG to support XP for 2014 era games in 2021 whilst not supporting W7-8 for others in 2021 = even more confused that if GOG used "recommended" for what they're willing to support and minimum for what the game actually runs on (whether GOG support it or not), doubly so when PCGW and even Steam lists the factually accurate information for both games apparently without any confusion of what OS Steam support...

Ys IX:

game page says Works on: Windows (7, 8, 10)

but minimum/recommended system requirements both say Windows 10/8.1 64-bit

I can confirm it does run on win 7

Endzone - A World Apart

The dev said win 7 is not officially supported, but it should work:

edit: apparently I can't post links, it was on steam forums

Both GRIME and Vesper work on W7 despite the fake W10 "minimum" requirement.

Neighbours Back From Hell also runs on W7 despite being listed as W10.

Great thread.

Here is my contribution

Stranger Things 3: The Game version 1.3.857 (857) runs on Windows 7 SP1 x64, though I got it from Epic Game Store instead of GOG, but this shouldn't make a difference

- Myst (2021) works in W7 if started with the -dx11 command line switch. (It will crash with default DX12)

- Serin Fate works in W7 despite being listed as needing W10.
