In a completely unexpected move for me, Edge of Eternity has been released today on GOG. If you like JRPGs, this might interest you.

That sounds like it should be a Tom Cruise movie.

Summer Sale is on.   Sleeping Dogs at $3 is great, although I'm sure everyone has that by now, 60% off Grim Dawn too.

[Zoraptor]

Thief: Definitive Edition? Well now, that sounds like a deal. Will be great seeing how the 16 years of graphical improvement effected seminal levels like the Boneyard or Cathedral for the better.

My own two all time favourite games are available for free on GOG (they used to be available on the website of the guy who did the PC port/conversion)...

Some may find them a bit dated by now, but for those of us with rose tinted nostalgia goggles, these are still the ultimate mix of rpg, strategy and grand strategy (and Mike Singleton is an unrecognized bloody genius)

Gorthfuscious I normally trust your recommendations  but I need to know if these games contain  important themes like critical race theory?

4 new Tomb Raider releases: Legend, Anniversary, Underworld; Game of the Year (Reboot). Can get the 7 games available for a smidge over $10 total.

[Mamoulian War]

OMG, three upcoming Trails games will be released on GOG as well!!! I really wish, more Japanese developers/publisher would take this as an example and release their games there as well!!!

Gorth's tl;dr; review... Legend and Underworld sort of Ok'ish, although not in any way capturing the old Tomb Raider "magic".... Anniversary:

Never tried the game of the year (reboot) thing. Burnt my hands badly enough on the Anniversary game.

 

Edit: As for why I don't like the recent games much, what made the original Tomb Raider games great for me were the great exploration experiences. Later they turned into very bad shooters. Seriously, even Mass Effect 2 and 3 did a better job at being third person shooter games than the later TR installments.

To say something positive... I recently bought a number of games on GOG. Next on my to-do list is Mechanicus (the WH40k game)

Nice, we should create some " gaming law " where every committed gamer needs to buy maybe 20 % of all games, at least,  from GOG or your right to gaming gets revoked until you buy from GOG

Sorry I post it everywhere, I just can't get enough of that intro xD

Bunch of 2000 era Activision Star Trek games released. Includes Elite Force, which is the only thing about Voyager I genuinely liked.

[ShadySands]

^Thanks!

Picked up Away Team and hopefully I'll get around to playing it some time this year.

[213374U]

Interesting. So now they have Starfleet Command Gold and Starfleet Command 3 in there but not the better game in the series, SFC2/OP. I guess the distribution rights for that one are a mess, with the Dynaverse crew actually holding exclusivity or something because otherwise it makes zero sense that they would skip it.

It's a great trailer. That said, the vast majority of 40K games focus on the wrong faction, the Orks are the true stars of this franchise. WAAAGH! Can a guy get a game focused on my boys the Evil Sunz? We all know the red ones go fasta.

I kickstarted this one ages ago, but it looks like it is coming along nicely.

I just got back into town and one of the first things I did was download the demo for that.
