I bought this game on Steam, which incidentally I continue buying from since GOG decided it was ok to brush us off. It's a unique Castlevania mixing serious themes along with more casual ones, and it entertaining and skill based, well worth the money. It says a lot that GOG has continued to exclude games from this developer from its marketplace, given this game has absolutely no contentious content. Incidentally, this "GOG wishlist" redesign was an Arasaka level decision to hide previous comments from petitions like Devotion's, nobody asked for it and it serves its purpose, an excuse to hide old criticism. I can look past Devotion, I feel I have boycotted GOG enough years now for its decision, but I refuse to come back when "many gamers" want games like Nine Sols and GOG still refuses to host them because of a foreign country's attempts at censorship. Steam is better than GOG's faux virtue signalling.

This game is very special for me, when I learned of its existence I spread it like crazy through social media and some acquaintances, I also shouted euphoric when they announced its release date. I love its art style as well as its difficult but fair gameplay. I pray once again that this game will be preserved as it should be.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Silent Hill: Downpour
Silent Hill: DownpourSilent Hill: Downpour is the eighth Silent Hill video game installment and the last fully-released video game in the series. Just like its predecessors, Downpour combines exploring abandoned surroundings, talking to characters, and solving puzzles, set against a slow, psychological horror theme. Different from the previous game Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is the return of combat. The player often has to fight off monsters using a variety of weapons, but he can carry only one melee and one ranged weapon who can deteriorate over time. Entirely new to the series is the introduction of a weather system: there is a full day and night cycle and rain often warns the player of danger that is approaching. It is possible to hide until the weather becomes better again.
