UPDATE: The Monstrous Fall Sale Finale has begun!
That means you have until Sunday 10:59 PM UTC to earn more XP and unlock the three freebies! Having a hard time deciding what to get? Can't blame you - there are tons of great deals to discover, plus some whole new ones which just got added to the pile. Yup, this is going to be a rather monstrous finale indeed!


GOG Connect is back!
It's the third edition of GOG Connect – back with 20 new games to grow your DRM-free library for free. These include favorites like Metro 2033 Redux, HuniePop, Broken Sword Director's Cut & Broken Sword 2 Remastered, Starbound, The Witcher 2 and way more.


Head to connect.gog.com, connect your Steam account, and get started!


Score Deals Up To 90% Off | Earn XP, Get Free Games

The Monstrous Fall Sale – one of the grandest sales of this year – has begun! Join us for 10 days of new deals up to 90% off, free games to unlock, and surprises yet to come!


Start by grabbing Little Big Adventure 2 totally free to kick off your own monstrous adventure – just redeem through the banner on the front page. The giveaway will last for the first 48 hours, so be fast - that's a true classic that you really shouldn't miss.

But this is only the beginning - you can score even more free games during the Monstrous Fall Sale: participate in the fun, collect badges, and keep shopping to earn XP and unlock:
—Expeditions: Conquistador,
—DEX
—Victor Vran


Every dollar spent gives you more XP (use your Wallet funds for an extra 10% boost) and you'll find great combos throughout the sale — like Divinity: Original Sin 2 or Tyranny, which unlock all 3 free games right off the bat.




Twitch Plays is coming back and the GOG.com community will once again channel its inner farmer in two special Stardew Valley events that will grant everyone additional XP, if completed successfully on twitch.tv/GOGcom




You can learn more about the Sale's mechanics and track your progress here.




The Monstrous Fall Sale starts off with a thunderous roar and hot deals – but check back every day for new offers, bundles, and announcements. The Sale will last until November 13, 10:59 PM UTC.

HunchBluntley: God, I hope GOG never introduces a permanent, account-integrated XP system. I'm okay with it as a temporary promotional measure during the sales, but I really dislike the idea of making buying things into a ranked competition. I will be angry if they try to implement something like Steam has, with "extra" features locked behind earning account XP. I don't want a "gamified" user account, and I doubt I'm alone. Some people who actually switched from Steam to GOG came here in part to get away from junk like that.
Well... I remind You that You are not forced to participate in the OPTIONAL Leaderboard XP game..
If You don't like it, just ignore it.

I really like the idea of making buying things into a ranked competition... I see it like an extra motive for the purchase.

I would pay full price for a game I like on release date ONLY if that gives me a good amount of XP... (And if it is a Linux game, even better.)

I thanks GOG for the wallet system... I can store a good amount of money for the Christmas sales

And I think the people who switched from Steam to GoG did it because Steam is DRM and not for the cosmetic account XP system.

If there is something like Steam here, is not the cosmetic Leaderboard game; it is the GOG galaxy client, which is mandatory for the cooperative side of Shadow Warrior 2 (and other games, I think).

All in all this has been a good sale for me. I like the format of the sale and that every offer stays valid until the end of the sale (beside the bug(?) with the timer of some bundles which expired 12 hours too early and a few games where the discount silently has been dropped during the sale).

But I do not like the "new" bundles. So far I've been a fan of game bundles. They were easy to grasp with a unique, often high discount for all included games.

These new bundles with individual, different discounts for each game are complicated and confusing. Paired with local pricing and it's lack of information they are a real pain as you have to add a bunch of games to your basket and check it out for every single game to see how much you effectively have to pay for the game. And for the bundles were you have to buy all games to get the better discount you do not even have that chance.
This is probably the first major sale were I did not buy any bundle.

Please give up on these confusing bundles and switch back to bundles with a unique discount on all games. When there are games you do not want to sell with a high bundle discount just exclude them from the bundle as before.

I actually didn't like the format. I understand it's to get people to buy more games then they would have in the first place. Most of the games in bundles where discounted less then they have been previously, and only when you added most of the games in a bundle to your cart did the price of the games come down to what they have been in previous sales.

So much truth in these words.

The bundles' wording can be seen as confusing at best and misleading at worst. Combine that with fairly "meh" bundles this time and you can see why this sale wasn't so awesome as the previous major sale (although the freebies were uber nice)

Taking for example Team17's bundle: Several cool older Worms games that I could be tempted to buy with their decent discount ( I think it was 75% off) but they were in a bundle with a newer much more expensive Worms W.M.D. that had a modest discount tacked on. It doesn't feel like a great sale when calculating the averages my purchase is only 30% lower than full price.

Numbers pulled out of my ass, mind you. I do not remember the actual values but I remember how disappointing it was.
