armedready: Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition releases on May 6th will be available for free to all existing owners of Metro Exodus on GOG, Microsoft Store, Steam and Epic Games Store.

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/metro-exodus-enhanced-edition-releases-on-may-6th-pc-requirements-revealed/
FYI The update, while free, will only run on gpus with ray-tracing capable hardware. Users with "regular" gpus will still need to use the original version.

Would much rather have had the Linux port on GOG tbh.

randomuser.833: Afaik the plan was to release it together with Drakensang 1, but there are technical problems with this one.
Not sure if you can make the disc version run on windows 10. But I think I heard it is bugging out.
I had it running fine as I remember... except I think I had to run it windowed, not full screen

Yeah I was just about to comment about the same... so hopefully this enhanced edition is still separate from the original in the library, and the original is still available to those who have it.

This one looks interesting, but I have a sinking feeling (heh) it won't stay afloat...

TerriblePurpose: Link is borked.
Thanks, guess I still haven't deciphered when GOG allows multiple links in one line.

Hello randomuser.833 and kai2!

I do not know, whether those 'technical issues' are the actual reasons or just a rumor. But I have two different German versions (one patched up and ready for the expansion) each on DVD and without any DRM, not even a serial key or disc check, and both of them ran fine on Windows Vista 32-Bit, Windows 7 64-Bit and Windows 10 Pro (1909).

Like kai2, I played the game on Windows 10 in windowed mode, which does not bother me for I am playing usually in lower resolutions and often windowed mode allows for better control or regulations of the Laptop temperature.

Maybe, the international English version had specific technical issues of which I am not aware of or it has to do with the additional voice actors (compared to its predecessor) and corresponding licenses.

Kind regards,

New companies in the catalog:

Skrollcat Studio and PM Studios for Hoa (planned release date is July):

Hoa is a beautiful puzzle-platforming game that features breathtaking hand-painted art, lovely music, and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Experience the magic of nature and imagination as you play the main character, Hoa, on her journey through breathtaking environments back to where it all began.

Navigate with a keen eye and solve exploration-based puzzles. Relax to the organic rhythm of subtle storytelling while being intrigued by endless little wonders. Be a child - it's easier and harder than it may seem.
Petums - Papetura:

Papetura is an atmospheric puzzle adventure game, in which everything is made entirely out of animated paper.
From tiny bugs, strange creatures, monsters and unique locations, everything is cut and glued together by hand.
Together with beautiful music made by Floex, it creates a mysterious paper world, covered in light and darkness.

The Story

A lonely creature, named Pape, lives in a flower prison, away from the rest of the world. One day Pape escapes and finds little Tura, a magical being that he’ll take care of. Together they will face darkness, fire, and monsters that will try to burn down their beloved paper world.

The Team

The team consists of the creator Tomasz Ostafin (Petums), music artist Tomasz Dvorak (Floex), and sfx artist Juraj Mravec. The game was made for many years, inspired by old classic games like Neverhood, Machinarium, movies of studio Ghibli, and fascination with architecture and microbiology.

Key features

Everything in the game is handcrafted out of paper. Real physical paper models were used to make the fantasy world more believable.
The music is made by Floex, the famous, award-wining composer, known in the world of games for soundtracks to Machinarium and Samorost series. He’s also famous on the music scene for many successful albums like “Pocustone” (2001), “Zorya” (2011), Gone EP (2014) and latest A Portrait Of John Doe (2018).
Puzzles are blended into the world and narrative-driven. There are no ‘fullscreen jigsaws’.
The story is told by animation and strange noises, there are no dialogues.
There are strange and different creatures and locations.
Paper was used due to its unique properties. It’s easy to manipulate, it can be cut, molded, torn, and easily glued together. It loves light, depending on the type of paper – it reflects light or passes it through, revealing beautiful translucent patterns.
Mostly one type of paper was used – the cheap printing one. Not because of a budget, but to emphasize a pure form of paper models. The one thing that ‘paints’ paper models is the light. In some cases, the paper was hand-made to give the surfaces different textures and properties.

Hoa e Papetura are yet another proof that video games are also works of art, great additions to the GOG catalog.
