WinterSnowfall: P.S.: 5165 titles seems a bit on the low side. Are you sure you're tracking everything? Let me know if you need an exhaustive list of game IDs.
That's grouped and with NSFW hidden. If you toggle both settings, you get 10750. That should be 38 items more than gogdb knows about as currently available, as it includes everything which isn't exposed in the GOG front-end, but does have a working product page. (Mostly Gwent with expansions, but also some hidden bundles.)

SargonAelther: Thank you for this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a way to search/filter specifically for "Alternative" versions of games. For example: Japanese Horizon Zero Dawn or German Kane & Lynch 2.

I have always wanted a clear way to figure out how many of such games exist on GOG, because GOG DB fails to detect most of them.
avatar
gogtrial34987: The answer is 5. That's not enough to add a filter for. You can narrow the search with the exclude "available in all countries" filter, giving you (currently) 250 games (half NSFW) which are banned in one of the countries for which I track that.
- 2x Agony (NSFW; game + soundtrack; so annoying! forced me to add a second level alternative in the front-end)
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Mad Max
- Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days - Complete Edition

There used to be two more outdated but left behind for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, but GOG removed them ~2 months ago (maybe because I kept visiting those $99.99 costing entries?)
Thank you for the answer but are you sure that there are only 5? I ask because you have missed the Australian Saints Row IV, for example. So there may be more games that you have missed. The Australian Saints Row IV does show up in the 250 game list though, so I will review that carefully. Thanks.

Oriza-Triznyák: Can you label games that are currently part of multiple promos on Gog ?
Not easily/swiftly, alas. I only use information from the official GOG API, which doesn't expose anything at all about promos.

I might go partly the same way as gogdb and enrich my information by using non-official store APIs - but that's a very uncertain long-term thing to do.

You're absolutely right. It's that Agony soundtrack item throwing me off. I queried my database directly for just a count, and got 5 results - which I thought I knew by heart. But of course it's 5 alternatives for main games, and 1 alternative for a goodie. (Plus a second now-outdated alternative for Horizon Zero Dawn - Digital Comic.)

I've updated my post above, just because it can be useful to have a record like that in a single easy-to-refer to place.

Oh, right, forgot that filter gets applied by default (makes sense).

Nice, then it seems you've got all your bases covered indeed :). Carry on the good work.
Ultra-long-term:

Crowd-sourced game tagging (genres, traits, etc) instead of GOG's... arhm, often garbage tagging system.
Could you run a test on the search and see if it pulls up all content having to deal with Dungeons & Dragons? I keep finding new stuff.

Thank you.
On reading the title I was thinking "so this is what GOG devs have been spending all their time on!". Well, not so, even though it seems they should have done.

Anyway, I'm currently checking out the site and found that you have the red X in the results, but it doesn't remove the result but forwards to the gog page. At the same time, hovering the mouse over the result shows the red line regardless of the position the mouse hovers over. Is this my TOR browser only or a general bug?

I'm trying to find games that are online co-op (direct connect preferred, but mediated through some lobby may also be acceptable); MMOs aren't a thing on GOG so that's less noise, but checking the co-op tag also brings up local co-op titles which isn't what I need. So in fact I'm looking for "full game co-op" (not just some co-op maps in an otherwise PvP game) AND that co-op works via direct IP or lobby, for 2-4 players, with a self-hosted ad-hoc / non-dedicated server (like NWN, DoS or Solasta).
Though it seems like the official tag data doesn't have this kind of detail, and the community based tags tend to be exaggregated at times, so you're probably not the one to ask about such, but then again, you poulled a whole lot of data into usable form that also isn't inside the official tags, so... ;)

I also don't feel the sorting of the tag list is ideal, I'd prefer an alphabetical list if I'm to add the community tag "online co-op" (which I didn't find in the list, unless "multiplayer" equals online-multiplayer instead of any form of MP, given there's also "local multiplayer"). Plus, the tag list is too long to conveniently scroll in the provided frame, so maybe that one could be made twice as long?

Hello gogtrial34987!

First, and foremost, congratulation and a huge thank you for your work and effort!
Another very useful (web)tool, which I immediately bookmarked and added to the small list of essentials next to gogdb.

Regarding the 'Price tracking and currencies' I would like to suggest adding an option to switch the regional price representation from its regional currency to its equivalent regional value in US dollar.

I live in Brazil, although I am from Europe. And I am still converting on my end the regional prices from Brazillian Real (R$) to their corresponding values in US dollar (USD) for comparison purpose. It helps me to better keep track of price history in one standardized currency and identifying regional price differences (if something is more affordable or more expensive in this region), such as with "Valley Peaks", or recent examples like "Old Skies" or "World of Goo 2".

Thank you for considering to implement such an option for the (propably) tiny user base that like me prefer to use one standardized currency in their online affairs!

Kind regards,
foxgog
Excellent page!

The filters are incredibilly helpful, although I wouldn't personally give the NSFW tag a different treatment to any other tags, but this is just great!

This shows a lot of hard work and love. Thank you very much!
Bravo, gogtrial34987! There's an extraordinary amount of detail there and it's hard to believe it's just a solo project.

I love the idea of grouping all results for a game into a single entry. That makes things a lot easier. I also like the highlighted all-time low price and comparison to the all-time low if it's not sitting at that mark. Nice of you to track so many currencies for people too.

Glad to hear that 'more sorting options are coming very soon' as they will make a difference. Thanks for your efforts and good luck with the ongoing development!

Mornyngstar01: Could you run a test on the search and see if it pulls up all content having to deal with Dungeons & Dragons? I keep finding new stuff.
I don't think I understand the question? If I search for Dungeons & Dragons, I get 67 results, which seems reasonable.
Oh, I do see that I should add a synonym for D&D, because a phrase search for "Dungeons & Dragons" doesn't find Baldur's Gate 3 or Pillars of Eternity II, while a phrase search for "D&D" does. Thank you for making me look at this - that's a useful improvement to make.

I don't think it actually answers your question, though - so hopefully you can explain a bit which search you're performing, and what exactly is happening that's different than what you expect / believe should happen?

At the same time, hovering the mouse over the result shows the red line regardless of the position the mouse hovers over. Is this my TOR browser only or a general bug?
There are two places red Xs should show: immediately to the right of each search filter in the left bar (allowing you to exclude that filter, rather than require it), and immediately to the right of each selected filter at the top of the results (allowing you to remove the filter again). It sounds like for you, one of those red "X"s shows over/inside the information for a game? That's definitely a rendering bug. It's quite likely that this is caused by the Tor browser. Can you tell me its version, or ideally the version of Firefox it's based upon? A screenshot might also be helpful. I'll attach one of the way it should look. (FWIW, that's in dark mode; depending on your OS/browser settings, you might also get the website in light mode.)

You could try the free text search in combination with filtering on the co-op feature. I don't know this space, so can't judge how useful the results are, but lobby, lan and direct ip all give a couple of results, while requiring the co-op feature but excluding the "local co-op" tag gives many more. (That unfortunately also exclude games which offer both local and non-local co-op, but at least it's a start.)

I agree that this is not ideal. I feel alphabetical sorting would be worse, but I hope (on the medium-term roadmap to investigate) to eventually split the tag list into a bunch of smaller subcategories for perspective, genre, theme, setting and so-on. I worry about the completeness of the data, since if I do that, I'd want each game to have at least one tag in each category, which might mean a whole lot of manual data-entry.

Thanks for asking! So far you're the only one who's asked for this, so I do think you're right that the user base for it will be tiny, which means that any solution I can come up with will have to really stay out of the way and not cause added complexity. Just by voicing that (and by you getting me to think about it), I am already thinking of a few ways in which I could accomplish this. It's not going to be a priority for the short-term - but I will add it to the medium-term roadmap to ponder some more.
(I do already have the data, so it's luckily purely an issue of how to display it and switch to that display.)
Well this is amazing, it will scratch most of the itches that used to be scratched by Magog. Thank you gogtrial.

I particularly like the grouping of versions of the same game. It's always a nightmare to deal with that. Nonetheless Gamesieve can be improved, in fact there are features Mfkgnao implemented in Magog that were extremely useful and can be useful for GameSieve too.

SultanOfSuave: A feature that I would love to see but don't think is feasible (though I'll throw it out there nonetheless) would be a "reverse wishlist". That is to say, to have the ability to mark my disinterest towards games. This way if I were to browse filtered portions of catalogue they would never show up again, allowing me to better find and identify new products of interest that could be added to the regular wishlist.
The lack of this feature is, in my opinion, the worst aspect of Gog's current system. We should be able to mark a game as something we're not interested in. In Magog I created a tag called "Not interested" which I would put on all visual novels and everything by WhaleRock, for example. Then I would execute all my searches filtering out games that sported that tag. It worked wonderfully.

The other feature that Magog had (and GameSieve could have too) is a way to import a list of all owned games, for the obvious purpose of not displaying a game/DLC the user already have in their library.
