That's a hard question; there's just so many great gam...

...oh, that's right, Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition was here, cheap as dirt. So that, easily.

To be fair, though, I still haven't been able to play much of Pillars of Eternity, or the Enhanced Edition of previous title-holder Baldur's Gate 2, though from what I hear it's not much of an improvement over the original version I played ages ago.

I still haven't finished my GoG playthrough, however (finished the non-Ultimate version thrice on Steam, tho'), so if only finished-on-GoG games qualify, it'd have to be Aragami. Such a beautiful, incredible game, and the ending broke my heart :(
Blade of Darkness.... *runs away* ;).Cheers

Cadaver747: Thief: The Dark Project (1998), later it was re-released as Thief Gold bundled with few more levels. This game was one of the most immersive games I'd ever played. Sound designer did a tremendous work! It also has the best zombies presentation in the whole game industry, they are slow vicious and deadly. The bow and sword mechanics made into FPS were very impressive as well.
It was the good mix of mystery and thriller, too bad that Thief II: Metal Age and Thief: Deadly Shadows weren't nearly as good as the first game.
I tend to think, like timppu, that the zombies in Thief Gold were the weakest element in an otherwise great game.
It is arguably considered the first in the stealth genre (the developers said it belongs to FPS genre, FPS being "first person sneaker").
However, when Thief 2: The Metal Age came out in 2000, I remember reading reviews that the developers "listened to the community" and threw away the zombies and stirred the gameplay away from the magical/occult and concentrated in "traditional" thieving missions, of breaking into houses (be it rich mansions, a bank, seaport warehouses or a prison) featuring mostly human or man-made enemies.
This design gave center stage to the stealth mechanics, and indeed, IMO, this game features the best stealth gameplay and level design in all gaming histroy.
It is a shame that subsequant games in the franchise have failed to live up to the quality of the first two games.

Another big plus is the thriving busting community that keeps churning fan missions for the first three games. There must be few hundreds of missions available for download, extending the lifespan of the game. I must mention the T2X campaign that spans a full game length - 13 missions of AAA quality, including several beautiful cutscenes. It is not a direct sequel since it follows a completely new storyline and protagonist, however, it can and should be considered an entry in the series.

The other game which I consider to be worthy of "classic" title is Deus Ex. The game broke new grounds in several areas. The most important one being the level of choice that the player has in solving the puzzles and building of character.

Watching the Snowflake freakshow Live, inspecting active specimens in their "natural-habitat" and their aggressive expansion on the expense of other life forms and their welfare, is my favorite "game", here on gog! :D

sgarff: Please note that answers should only be games that you have purchased (or own because of freebies, etc.) and played on GOG, NOT games available elsewhere or games on GOG that you don't own.

paladin181: What about games on GoG that I own elsewhere instead of here? That seems like strange criteria as the game doesn't change (except for maybe getting updates on Steam that they may never see here) when you change platforms.
Well, I suppose if you own a game from elsewhere but it is also on GOG, that would be okay. I made this thread because I was wondering which games people discovered or rediscovered on here, or which game(s) caused them to join GOG in the first place, and remained at the top of their favorites. But ones that you played before GOG existed or that you have played on another platform is okay, too (assuming they're currently available on GOG, or have been at one time). :)

I had -and I quote- the "poor man's version" of this one a.k.a. Dark Vengeance.
Most "mmmmkay, I guess" game ever ;P
Little Big Adventure 2: Twinsen's Odyssey - the GOG was a first place where this game was available with support of new OS's and also includes great unseen bonus content.
The Witcher serie - because GOG is birthplace of this games.

Not really, but CD Projekt Red bought GOG, and WItcher kinda found its home on GOG.

I stand corrected. I thought CD Projekt Red bought GOG recently, like a few years ago. Well, you live and you learn.

no cd projekt red has always owned gog
though as o flate its mostly the witcher franchise that is keeping both cd projekt red and gog a float

gog posted a healthy revenue of 6 million over 3 months recently
but the profits were after all is said at done barely 700 k
the witcher 3 on the other hand netted cd projket red around 25 million in the same time period

Now THAT is real commitment to a game! I've heard of favorite games, but dang, an exploding dvd drive? XD And yes, that would count for this topic, because I would place that under the "rediscovering" category (even if you constantly played the game in a retail version up until you got the GOG version).

Also, it's interesting to see that almost every responder has each named a different game as their favorite (with the exception of a couple of duplicates). I like seeing the various tastes and interests in games, which is why I made this topic in the first place. Keep posting!
