Does anyone know if you can set exclusions for store page items like Steam? So that games in that genre or with certain tags do not show up? Or if they'll maybe add this option?

At some point, it's apparently in the werks.

Yes, hover over the tag/genre/whatever. A little eye icon will show up near the right. Click that, and the tag/genre/whatever will be excluded.
Hovering of course doesn't work on touch devices. I don't think GOG has a solution for that?

My site gamesieve.com (launched last week; see that thread for detailed information) does the same, but the exclusion option (the reddish "X") is always visible and thus available on mobile, plus has price tracking and quite a few more filtering options.

Note that that only applies to actively filtering the results of active searches. GOG doesn't have any "don't show me this game"/"...games in these genres"/"...games with these tags"/"...games from this developer" (etc.) features for the front page, the recommendation sections of product pages and other pages of the store at large. (Note that tags on GOG are often pretty inaccurate, so telling the site not to show you any game with a certain tag might not be a great idea anyway.)

It's still possible on a touchscreen device: hovering is replaced by holding down (instead of tapping) the desired option, which reveals the eye, or by tapping where the eye would appear if it were revealed.
