The Darkside Detective (currently listed for Linux) is also DRM-Free for Windows without any workarounds.

Tested on Win XP 32-bit, Win 7 64-bit and Win 10 64-bit
Side note: Gothic 1 and Gothic 3 are already in the wiki, but they should be in the "Patchable Games" category as well.

Okay, we're all updated again. I'll take a look at that long list of ScummVM stuff when I get a chance to sit down for a bit longer, but for now, everything other than that is good to go.

Prey (2006)
Although this game was removed from the Steam store a long time ago, you can still add it to your account with a retail or Steam key. Now if you download and install the retail patch 1.4 from here it overwrites the prey.exe, making the game playable without the Steam client.
Tested on Win 10 64-bit.

Okay, we're all updated again. As always, thanks for all of the help and new games!
Another Epic store one, for those that don't mind downloading from there: I'm absolutely thrilled to say that Journey is DRM-free. You won't get any online interaction if you're not running it through the client, but the single-player game is completely portable, just like everything else that Annapurna has put on there so far. Journey was one of my favorite games of the last console generation, so to have a DRM-free version that natively supports 4K is fantastic. I really hope it hits GOG in the future.

Is the first post up to date?
I'd like to know if PopCap Games such as Zuma Deluxe, Chuzzle, and others can run without steam.

I can confirm Bejeweled 3 works without Steam, but I don't own the others to test. It would be nice if someone who does could check as these are the kind of 2000-2005 era flash games that had their own dedicated authentication servers pulled a while back after EA acquired them.
