Why is not possible to select a price range, for example between $10 and $20?

Why not adding more genres, such as Point-and-click, Detective-mystery and Puzzles in the main page? I think there should be an option to filtering by 2D, 2.5D and 3D as well.

There is a price filter there.

As for genre filter, that's tough. There are so many games that don't really fit a genre and trying to divide it up even more makes only more headaches, at least for me. I'm sure there are folks in here that are with you on this one 100% but I honestly wouldn't know how to go about a system that would make everyone happy.


And welcome to GOG! :D

Thanks. Well, the adventure genre is included in the main page, but I can't see the other ones. I mean, If I'm looking for Mistery-Detective games, i have to visit the SHERLOCK HOLMES VERSUS JACK THE RIPPER store page and then click on that genre.

Eunpo'strano,loso. :D

I really want to know how can I put a price range. I only can select one option, under $25 includes the free and $0.5 games, then maybe i'm making something wrong.

I don't think you can.
It's not really a good system, but it's the one we're stuck with.

The best way would probably be to allow user tags, and let users "uprate"/"downrate" the applicability of existing tags, as well as adding new ones. (I think Steam has something like this, and I've seen it on other types of sites.) But, yeah, it would probably be foolish to ask GOG to spend valuable employee time exhaustively cataloguing all the different attributes and descriptors a game could be categorized by, for every game on the site.

In the search bar on the Games page, you can search not only for titles (partial or complete) and names of developers or publishers, but also for genre descriptors. Of course, it has to be a descriptor that GOG used on the game's store page (they only use 3 per game -- no more, no fewer).
(As an example, here are the results for games in the "adventure" genre that are also tagged as "detective" [or with that word as part of the title, or as part of the dev/pub.'s name].)

If you want to search by price (or anything else here) with a bit more precision, try MaGog. It won't really help you with your "2D, 2.5D, 3D" problem, though, as it still uses the genre info from GOG's store pages.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

"It won't really help you with your "2D, 2.5D, 3D" problem" It was only a suggestion...

Happy to be of service. : )

I do wonder if anyone uses the "Company" filter...

At least it's of some use, now that the companies are listed alphabetically, as opposed to...whatever random-looking order they used to be in.

I briefly return from the void to brag about my newfound expertise in recommender systems and note this is a bad idea. Nope nope nope nope nope. A premium commercial storefront has to be commercially presentable, which means they should be in control. Letting users make their own tags (dear gods no) or just upvote and downvote tags is ohexploitable and goes 100% against this. There should maybe be a tag cloud of the tags GOG publicly uses on the game pages, but that's it. Implicit user ratings and other sensitive info go under the hood.

(Also: cross-selling should be better. GOG sucks at it.)

You must be my lucky star,

'Cos you shine on me, wherever you are.

I noticed that too (only yesterday). I'm pretty sure no one used it before this change (whenever that was).

I have reasons to believe that GOG's organizational system may not scale too well, now that it has over 1700 games.
