For me, Dead Space. Revisiting the Ishimura again after being away so long brings a smile to my face. An old home that creaks with the sounds of activity without life and captures a space horror like few games can nowadays. On top of that, finally having a DRM free copy to enjoy as internet access has been spotty for me lately is nice. Come with me and let's dismember necromorphs together one more time.

joshusal: Horizon Zero Dawn because mech dinosaurs. Do you really need more reason than that?
Yeah, the concept and art is awesome. Mech dinos rock!

Yeah, it also looks great and runs great on my RTX 3070. That's another good reason too. ;) It gets an easy 60fps at 1080p maxed-out on my PC. The foliage on that game is superb, too; some of the best I've ever seen.
I bought Call of Cthulhu Shadow of the Comet and Prisoners of Ice. I love point and click games from the DOS days. I never had a PC during that time and thanks to GOG I can finally play what I missed and get it at a great price. The stories and puzzles are corny sure but I love anything HP Lovecraft inspired.
I've got Project Eden, It's one of those games I've played as a kid and loved it, but completely forgot it's title and remembered only vaguely. A great puzzle game set in a sci-fi cyberpunk setting. Definitely a recommendation if you like Lost Vikings type puzzles in 3D, set in a futuristic setting.
I'm poor so I couldn't grab any of those wonderful games, but I plan to get Metro Exodus in the future because of the story and the world itself, Ghostrunner because I love fast action games and, of course, Baldur's Gate 3 from the awesome team of Larian Studios. I don't want to forget the awesome Control, I really want to enjoy the story Remedy worked on so hard. Have fun guys and stay safe!

I played Exodus in Game Pass. Yeah, it's awesome, to say the least.

All 3 of the Metro games rule.

EDIT:
Control's amazing. One of my favorites that I played last year.

I got Beyond Good and Evil, Deus Ex GOTY and Thief Gold. Deus Ex I already own on Steam, but don't mind paying for again and supporting DRM free ideals. Beyond Good and Evil I haven't played since I was a little kid and I bought it on the Xbox Live Arcade. Thief I just haven't played before but have heard great things about. I am excited for all of them!

Thanks for getting these titles up GOG.com folks! It's really appreciated.

I so love hearing all of these great titles behind mentioned. Thief's awesome; Deus Ex is awesome and one of my favorite games of all time; and Beyond Good & Evil is also great & just so underrated.
I got Xrebirth and looking for more games. Rebirth was super complicated.
I can only urge everyone to purchase and experience Horizon: Zero Dawn, the fact alone that Sony released this singular Open-World Masterpiece actually DRM-free on GoG is wonderful.

Now, why is this game a masterpiece?

Every gaming generation has its fair share of "hot" topics, mechanics and genres, just think back to the "mascot platformers" of yesteryear. Today, the fact that your game is "open-world" is one of the biggest draws, with "rpg elements" and "crafting" being close behind. And so, oh yes, so many triple-AAA games of the last decade are based on some variation of this formula and Horizon is as well.
So, what makes Horizon: Zero Dawn such a special game? Why does it, in my humble opinion, triumph over all the rest, why does it soar higher than all the Ubisoft games of recent years, why does it even surpass other heavyweight releases such as CD Project RED's own Witcher 3? Let's discuss this and for that, we need to talk about a certain dissonance...

I really like a well-written story. Consequently, many Open World games cannot hold my attention to the end. Why?
The reason is "ludonarrative dissonance", a term used to describe when a narrative's theme clashes with what is being presented by the game through its actual gameplay.

In the Witcher 3, Geralt wants to find his adopted daughter Ciri, who is in incredible danger and hunted by otherworldy foes. At least, that is the central driving force behind the plot but despite this urgent quest, Geralt as controlled by the player behaves very differently. While the character has a clear goal to achieve, the game itself motivates the player to engage with a dozen other (mostly local) issues, problems and chances for profit that the character Geralt has zero interest it and a clearly not as important as his very personal reasons.
As such, the illusion of the game's world is broken and the plot is robbed of urgency and stakes. Finding Ciri can wait. Ciri will be found when the player decides it is time to do so. This is ludonarrative dissonance.

Horizon does not solve this problem because there is no "solution". But, instead, Horizon circumvents it for the most part.

Horizon both features a and tells its story in such a way that ludonarrative dissonance is avoided for as much as is possible given the genre and medium. This is not game during which's development someone just bolted a plot onto an existing product, no, both the personal story of the player character and the gameplay systems that character engages with are in sync! About 90%, they are a union, a match! Extraordinary care and writing skill is on display, with lots of smart choices in the narrative that serve to maintain this union whereever possible.
Your character knows little more than you do at any given time. You learn of things as your character does. Your own motivation to do something makes sense as your character wants to perform the very same action!

Of course, dear reader, you might wonder why this is such a big deal. If you asking that, than you either belong to the group of players how never invest too much into a narrative and are captivated by good gameplay instead (which Horizon has) or you are probably an experienced gamer who has simply, conciously or unconciously, accepted the presence of ludonarrative dissonance in the video game medium in order to have fun with them.

Horizon is a beautiful, well playing, well paced video game which is lots of fun. But it is also so much more.

It is living proof that you can actually tell an exciting and sensible story within the framework of an Open World game.


And what a good story it is. The less said about it, the better.

It is just a wonderful experience. Please, do not miss it.
The mad max price is hard to beat. Fun for hours, my weekend is now booked.

Well, I only bought one game so I guess I'll recommend it; Aragami!
Its this cool lookin' stealthy type action game. The devs say you could fight guns blazing, but I'd say that its always good to try the stealth routes first in a stealth type game.
There are some mildly janky animations but its nothing serious. If anything it adds to the charm of the game, which I believe had a relatively small dev team. It looked super interesting and it reminded me of Dishonored, which I love, so I figured I'd give it a shot and I'm glad I did.
Plus a sequel's comin' out! Hopefully, it's gonna do well!
I got "The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition", i love this game, it is one of my favorites, and although i already had the witcher 3 on another platform i decided to buy it again on gog for the goty version and the free drm of gog.
It is simply one of the best open world rpgs, and the best in the fantasy category.
If you haven't never play it, try!
Bye, from Italy!
I bought Zombie Night Terror, FEAR 1, FEAR 2 and Sacred Gold. Haven't played Sacred Gold yet. I would recommend Zombie Night Terror if you like playing as the zombies and like puzzle games. Commanding your zombies to feast on humans never gets old. It's just a fun game that zombie and puzzle fans need to at least try once.

BTW, I was made aware of this game because one of my GoG friends started playing it. Saw that pop up from Galaxy and got intrigued by the game title. Checked it out and added it to my wishlist. Bought it immediately as soon as it went on sale.
I plan on picking up The Saboteur. WWII setting focused on espionage and stylized graphics is a winner for me.
