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.

1. Bring back 'by date added' sorting option.
2. Add category for bundles to find them easily.
3. A "most wishlisted" sorting option could be interesting.
4. Make the left side section collapsible like it was before.
5. A "show unbought DLC for owned games" option would be handy.
6. Fix the problem of different versions/editions of games not being properly marked as owned.
7. Store labels like "wishlisted", "in library", "early access" etc. should be more distinguishable and visible overall.
8. Make free games and demos a saparate categories and allow to hide demos (like you did with extras and DLCs).
9. Stop showing multiple editions of games (deluxe etc) on the store as separate games. Better show them all on the game's page

It's nice!
Thank you :)

Just code it in raw x86 assembler, like Chris Sawyer. It'll be faster.
I buy mostly older games that were released in the 90s and aughts on gog. There are still about 50 I recall that are unavailable but all are posted on your wishlist. I would like to see the wishlist integrated with the catalog so as to get status on these older games. For example No One Lives Forever and F.A.K.K. 2 are known to have rights issues and probably will not be available for sale any time soon but it would be nice to see more information from gog about what's being done to get more wishlist titles pending.

This is very very exciting news and something I've wanted to see for years now and wondered why it was never done since I always felt like having more options to filter and sort games would make it easier for myself and other customers to find things that we actually want to find while respecting our valuable time that is important to us. So I'm thrilled to see GOG is finally adding such options to the site.

Some feedback on my experience so far: I visited the homepage and am logged into the site as evidenced by it showing me my name and avatar, which it also shows if I go to the community forums or other areas of the website. However, if I now go to the store catalogue it shows me "SIGN IN" and does not show me as being logged in. If I click on "SIGN IN" it does not register the mouse click or do anything at all. In addition it shows the catalogue default sort as sorting by "Bestsellers", so I wanted to see what other sorting options might have been added that are new. I click on the sorting option and it does not register the mouse click or pop up or down any box of options, it just ignores the click as if I never did anything so I am unable to interact with the page at all it seems.

Before reporting this I considered that it might be possible that browser addons and scripts I have could be interfering with the updated website, so I disabled TamperMonkey and other addons that could potentially interfere and restarted the browser and reloaded the homepage, then went to the store catalogue and got the same results as the first time. It does not show me as logged in nor let me try to log in, and it does not let me interact with any of the page elements to configure anything, simply ignoring all of my mouse clicks etc.

Having said all of that, I am quite excited that you have added the ability to set an arbitrary price range and set the start and end prices manually. This is sooooooo much what I've wanted for 5+ years and will make finding games based on price so much nicer now, thank you!

Can't wait until the kinks are all worked out of the new interface as it's a huge step in the right direction!

Also, for your information, I am using the Firefox x64 web browser running on Windows 10 (20H2), both
updated to current.

Update:
After another reload of the website and visit to the store catalogue it is now showing me as logged in and the features on the site are now working. I didn't change anything on my end, so not sure what changed but it does appear to be working now and working well.

If you're targeting a 486 maybe. Once CPUs went superscalar, it quickly became very hard to do better than a compiler's optimizer at understanding the performance implications of the generated assembly.

Some feedback:

* Would be nice if the store remembered my filters. That's my biggest point of critique right now.
* Three entries per row at best is a bit wasteful on space.
* Being able to filter for wishlist, DOSBOX and ScummVM would be neat.
* Even with the OS filter, having OS displayed per game would be nice.
* Sort by date added is somewhat important.
* Being able to hide upcoming and early access games would be great.
* Games are being displayed despite region lock. Clicking on those opens up the store again with no indication that I can't purchase those games. That's a bit suboptimal.

Having a single list for everything, sorting by discount, and the filter options for discounts, DLC and owned games are pretty neat.

Feature Enhancement Request:


An alternative list view mode that is called "Compact" that shrinks the game icon to be very small and reduces the vertical height of each game title so you can fit as many of them vertically on the screen as possible, increasing the number of games shown per page as well.
I would also like to see several of the ideas already mentioned:

1) A filter to hide games either that 100% I will never want to buy, or could use it to solve problems with games not registering as being owned properly.
2) A preferred solution for the 'games not registering as being owned' would be to be able to manually mark this (I think Steam has something like ignored vs mark as bought before), if it can't be fixed in the products themselves.
3) Adding a filter to show DLCs of games you already own - I would like to see this a lot, in a sale, if I saw a DLC I could think 'oh, I might as well buy this', but not if I had to manually look up each game in my library and see if there were any DLCs.
4) Either filter to your existing wishlist, or add these filters (the price registering the current price, not the base price, is mt biggest problem there) to the wishlist page

A suggestion I haven't seen yet is more granular language filtering - I would like to see which games have full audio + text language support, but the current filter includes games that only have one or the other. What I am looking for seems to be a much smaller subset, so it is hard to find those games with the filter working as it does. I imagine there would also be some cases where people are looking for either text or audio language support, but don't mind about the other format.

There is a similar issue with selecting multiple options in the genres or tags section functions as an 'OR' filter instead of an 'AND' filter. If I have the new finished version right now, there also doesn't seem to be a way to select genres/tags outside those listed? For example, if I wanted to see games with Detective-mystery genre, I still cannot do that unless I go to an existing game's page and click the link.

Searching for specific developers is also still broken in some cases - I put in a ticket last month to report this, #1215547 - for example, if you go to the Disco Elysium page, and try to click on the developer's name, it shows a blank/no results error.

Very nice additions! Also, maybe it's just me, but navigating the games section feels so much snappier.

Given how many games GOG is releasing lately, I feel like it's becoming vital to have a way to sort the entire store by when the game was released on GOG. Not when it was first listed as upcoming, but when it became available for purchase. That might be a bit tricky, but it would be very helpful.

Huh? I'm not sure what you mean. I simply think it would be helpful to be able to filter out games I have zero interest in. There's really quite a lot of them now on GOG, and more are coming pretty much every week.
I welcome the new changes, haven't tested them but from what I'm reading they sound like movement in a positive direction.

It would be nice to see more tags/context for posted reviews. Ownership status, hours played at time or review, etc.
Having what people say is one thing, having more context to properly frame those statements is more useful though.

Honestly having a minimum time played to post a review wouldn't be wrong IMO. Or, if there are concerns about that due to preventing people who have tech issues from posting reviews about that if they can't play the game, at least a feature to filter reviews displayed and star ratings so they only include people who've purchased and played the game here would be something I'd find very useful.

Honestly more review features to offer some details would be great too, at least something simple like offering star ratings on various game features rather than just one overall rating so you could address, narrative, game play, tech stability, soundtrack, etc individually rather than comparing apples to oranges so much.

I'd also like to add that the following seem like a pretty good selection of additional ways to further improve the storefront :)

If you could hide by tag type that sounds like it would address your personal use case and also be more generally useful.
If someone doesn't enjoy say platoformers, or turn based combat, or any other particular tag type then they could select to hide those in their own searches.

More ways to refine game searches seems like a win-win for all concerned. People find what they want to play more often. GOG gets more sales. And as an added bonus there's even less reason for anyone to review bomb games that aren't to their particular taste

Absolutely, that would be fine by me.
