Not enough time in your schedule to fit everything you'd like to do, yet you still want to be able to find your next favorite game to relax for a while? Today is the day it can finally happen!

Back in October, first users were able to experience the new & improved game catalog on GOG as we've started slowly rolling it out. After testing its performance and gathering feedback, we're ready to unleash it to everyone, starting right now!

We understand that among the more than 5500 titles in the catalog, searching for the game that fits your current needs or discovering the gems that will defy your expectations can be a time-consuming hassle. So thanks to the new catalog you can carry out more customized searches, adding ways to sort and filter games via price range, genres, release date range, and a newly introduced tags system.

The release of the new catalog on GOG doesn't mean we're stopping here. We will be improving it further – yes, sorting by "all-time bestsellers" is coming! And hey, do you have a very specific need, some particular accessibility request, or do you just want to help us help you? Let us know how you like the new catalog in the comments, and share your ideas for what we could bring along.

Another thing is that there's no longer a way to find the few movies still being sold in the new catalog:

Seryuu: Did they remove the all-time ranking?
Yes, temporarily:

In the post they state they will implement "all time bestseller" soon so it will return.

Genre filters don't work right for me. I searched for "Action + Shooter" and got games like Mortal Shell and Life is Strange displayed.

Dear GOG, thank you for the update to the "catalogue browser", but I am missing an checkbox to look for games, which have Slovak localization. Would it be possible for you to implement it? Thank you.

"Sort by genres" doesn´t work. Hope bring back "sort by bestselling all time" :(
Posted January 14, 2022
I haven't played with a new interface, but one thing I've struggled with in the past during a seasonal sale is trying to find all time high, or near all time high discounts on the most highly rated games. So in other words I'd like there to be a category that I could filter on called "all time high discount". Then I would sort by rating or best selling. I'm more interested in sorting by rating than sales because I'm afraid that sales numbers are only based on GOG sales. However if the best selling rankings were based on sales across all platforms that would be a better proxy for how good the game is. The reason is because there are some great games that made most of their sales on other platforms before they were even available on GOG. I'm also interested in knowing how good of a sale the current discount is. So that's why I thought it might be interesting to be able to filter by the category I mentioned above.

fronzelneekburm: Oh, phew, I finally found one thing I can complain about: Please bring back the Bestselling (All time) sorting option! That one was always highly informative (which I'm afraid might also be the reason why it's gone now).

Framboos: ITS COMING stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Still no: Show DLCs for owned games. How hard can it be?
Posted January 14, 2022
Add a way to filter out adult games
Posted January 14, 2022
A way to show only missing DLCs for owned games would be great. So people do not have to check manually each game they own. Also - games owned through packs do not show as owned, or base game with upgrade doesn't show the Deluxe version as owned (Batman:Arkham knight +Season pass = Premium edition). And most importantly - ability to HIDE owned games during sales. With huge libraries it is annoying to go through several pages of owned games, just to check what is new.

Thanks, but it's already a bit late for me.
Seeing as this data grid view already has the bestselling ranks included out of the box (along with a way to hide DLC and owned games) and is lightning fast due to it using a scripting language invented from after the 2000s.

Instead of one with the burden of starting in 1995.

Insert mumbling about how C must be so much slower than Go, since they're both compile-to-native languages but C is from 1972 while Go is from 2009.

(Translation: Performance isn't the only factor that goes into programming language design and age doesn't reliably correlate to performance.)

As I wrote elsewhere, there is no longer the possibility to search for a developer or publisher via the search bar, which is very unfortunate, since if you forget the title of a game you could at least search for the developer, but now it's no longer possible.

Yay finally. I welcome these improvements.

I think others already voiced these concerns but

1) please add back OS icons

2) please add VN genre

SCPM: I would like to see a similar Sort like the 'Date Added to the catalog' from the old shop. As far as I can tell, there's no clear way to see the most recent additions to the catalog, sorting by Release Date (Newest) doesn't help in this case when games arrive on GOG months/years later than the listed release date.
The 'New Arrivals' filter seems close to what I'm looking for, but doesn't seem to be in actual release order? Sorting by Release Date (Newest) with that filter still sorts the results all over the place with recent games near the bottom.
Ditto, that was probably the easiest way of finding items added to the store without an announcement.

GOG.com: ...
Thank you GOG, nice work. (shocking for most of the replies to actually be positive eh? ;)

I also encourage the option to manually "mark as owned and hide" or just a "custom hide"(most convenient would be a checkmark option in the corner, maybe top-right of the thumbnail in the catalog, but I suppose an option on the game page would work too) and "hide pornographic content" (assuming basically everyone can basically agree on what "pornographic" is).

The one (but probably very unlikely imo) scenario I could see GOG concerned is where somebody accidentally hides something that they actually wanted to buy in the future. Personally I wouldn't mind the catalog thumbnail and bar just being faded out (or in the case of porn content, the thumbnail being black or highly blurred) but I understand that's not enough for most people.

I also think you should work on a tag system like on Steam that people can vote on.

This is important too! Indeed I've forgotten a game's title but remembered the publisher before.

jjen1987: After all the complaints about the lack of text in the new template, and now people won't read the complete post. If I worked at GOG I would be a bit confused :P
yea
