Ten of 2016’s niftiest releases and a limited selection of wonders on sale now.



2016 had its rough spots, but surely we can all agree on one thing: it's been a delightful year for video games. To cap it off, we’re putting ten great releases from this year on sale, alongside bundles of classics and modern wonders in the Goodbuy 2016 Sale!

Obviously, the hardest part has been picking just ten games. Through a particularly scientific process that may or may not have included copious amounts of eggnog and missing teeth, we have whittled down the list of GOG.com’s <span class="bold">10 Good Buys of 2016</span> (in no particular order) to:

<span class="bold">INSIDE</span>
The horrific, twisted, and morbidly beautiful followup to LIMBO is one of the most memorable experiences of the year and a damn fine puzzle-platformer to boot.

<span class="bold">Owlboy</span>
A endearing piece of pixel-art that warmed your hearts with its quirky cast of characters and unique platforming mechanics, which let you carry around those you care about.

<span class="bold">Starbound</span>
Recently updated and chock-full of fun activities and adventuring opportunities, Starbound is one of our year's most promising InDev graduates.

<span class="bold">Stardew Valley</span>
Simple, addictive, and endless, the absolute indie hit of the year (developed by just ONE guy) made us all into accomplished farmers, explorers, harvesters, and lovers.

<span class="bold">Grim Dawn</span>
Some here say that isometric aRPGs have a new king and that he's wearing some stunning gear, yields devastating weapons, and murders things with just a few mouseclicks.

<span class="bold">Obduction</span>
A spiritual successor to Myst from the magicians behind the original series, this first-person adventure transported us to stunning worlds, where the familiar and the strange collide.

<span class="bold">Darkest Dungeon</span>
Brutal and unforgiving, this roguelike dragged us down to the depths of despair before giving us a glimpse of hope in the form of a well-timed critical hit. Then our team died. Again.

<span class="bold">Day of the Tentacle Remastered</span>
Tim Shaffer's offbeat point'n'click reminded us of the art of time-travel thanks to the tastefully updated presentation now enhancing its impeccable puzzle design and timeless humour.

<span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine</span>
Geralt's last hurrah was a dark, whimsical, and occasionally emotional adventure in the breathtaking region of Toussaint, the perfect farewell to our battle-hardened, award-winning hero.

<span class="bold">Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun</span>
The game that single-handedly revived the stealth/tactical genre made popular by Commandos. The amazing Japanese setting and fine-tuned gameplay definitely played a role in that.



You can also round out your collection with a selection of classics and modern gems up to 90% off, including Neverwinter Nights 2, Homeworld Remastered, Rebel Galaxy, The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Grim Fandango Remastered, and Fallout 1 & 2, to name a few. Plus, scratch that sudden STAR WARS itch with bundles including Rogue Squadron 3D, Battlefront II, Shadows of the Empire, Galactic Battlegrounds, Knights of the Old Republic, and more.

Plus, for the first time ever, Blood and Wine, Hearts of Stone, and the <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Expansion Pass</span> for the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are 40% off! If you haven't upgraded to GOTY yet, this is the best way to leave the year on a high note.



The Goodbuy 2016 Sale might not be huge, but you’re guaranteed to find plenty of awesome games to add to your collection. The sale will last until December 28, 10:59 PM UTC.
Interesting, how many sales there were in the last months.
But nice "Happy ending year sale". :D

Not even one strategy game pick and no Shogun is not a strategy game its a tactical game. I'm dissapointed. Still interesting choices. Though the discounts aren't very compelling.

Hopefully there will be a better sale next year.

Does that mean the world is coming to an end? ;)

Most likely.
Pweeh, GOG needs money? Hostile takeover not a rumor? Or why are there sales every few weeks?
With all those I see no need anymore to buy at regular price.
No, GOG, I'm not celebrating this dumpster fire of a year, not even the fact that it's over.
Crysis still need a sale.
it was only on sale on release...

No complete your bundles for a bigger discount on the top ten or double fine. No discounts for people who exceeded 30,000 xp in summer and day of the tentacle is greater than three pounds. Steam on the other hand has dying light for £16. Rather buy doing light. I'll try again next year. Sigh
I think I'll have to go and put some money in my bank account so I can buy day of the tentacle

it could be best decision today in this hangover. Oh man still, seems like a chore..

I don't see anything particularly interesting.
I still don't get the point of bundles where the discount rate doesn't get better the more titles you buy...
This isn't me bitching, I honestly don't get it. In the last three sales, many (not all) bundles didn't offer any special discount beyond the reduction already applied to individual games. Why bundling the games if the price isn't more interesting ? Am I missing something?
Looked at bethesda elder scrolls bundle and it's bugged,selecting 2 games will make morrowind sell at full price instead of discount,so either select one or 3 games to get better discounts
No Civ IV discount, so meh!
