Exciting new stuff for Thimbleweed Park, Man O' War: Corsair, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard, and more!

It's a well known fact that after the summer shopping spree is over and what is described by psychologists as "Backlog Guilt" sets in, you are twice as eager to get gaming. But whether you're trying your loot for the first time or you're in the middle of your playthrough, extra content and fixes are always welcome. Here are some titles that got leveled up in the past couple of weeks, in case you missed them:

<span class="bold">Thimbleweed Park</span>
Ron Gilbert's darkly humorous point & click got some cool fixes but the most important additions are the all-new idle conversations between your playable characters and an in-game Hint Line. Just dial 4468 (HINT) from any in-game phone to get those sweet puzzle hints that would put your college fund at risk, back in the day.

<span class="bold">Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles</span>
A ton of changes and fixes have been implemented in the game, the most important one being a new campaign which lets you play as Nurgle's Chosen and spread the plague all across the Old World. How can this not be fun?

<span class="bold">Vikings: Wolves of Midgard</span>
Plenty of fan-requested features and improvements recently hit this fierce action-RPG. Chief amongst them the couch co-op multiplayer option plus several changes made to the NG+ mode and the Trials of the Gods. Plus the game is now 50% off until next Monday.

<span class="bold">Turok 2: Seeds of Evil</span>
The latest update to the dinosaur-blasting shooter brings Dedicated Server support, as well as DirectX improvements and a few new multiplayer game modes, the InstaRok and New Raptor-Fest.

<span class="bold">Through the Woods</span>
This atmospheric horror adventure just became even more atmospheric, thanks to the completely re-recorded voiceovers for the main character, now provided by actress Malin Pettersen.

<span class="bold">Expeditions: Viking</span>
Quite a few changes and additions: A new "surprise round" feature to allow player positioning before the enemy turn when ambushed, full Danish localisation, three new campsite scenes in the Denmark campaign, new animations for Taunt and Dust abilities, a new generic support ability animation for when you're wielding a spear, and an animation for consumable utility items (ie. potions).

<span class="bold">Death Road to Canada</span>
Fixes and seasonal events galore! Canada Day and July 4th bring recruitable beavers, Uncle Sam, and Muscle Eagle, all of which have special lines and things to say upon death.

So what are you waiting for? Fire them up and check out all that cool stuff!

adaliabooks: Eh... I'm usually on your side Gog, but considering the current state of game updates and notifications this was possibly not the best news post to make...
GOG's PR at its best.

drealmer7: Inquisitor has actually been updated.

Wut? Did they finally fix the stamina balance problem of the Paladin?!

skirtish: I don't get it. Is this in reference to something?

This is by far the funniest thread I've seen here in quite a while :D

I went to using Galaxy most of the time hoping it would have notifications like the site used to but it DOES NOT. In fact lately both the web page and Galaxy are subpar to what I was used to on GoG. If you add the fiasco that was the Summer Sale 2017 and the free games (got Rebel Galaxy with an apology that they messed up ... never got Alan Wake's American Nightmare) I would say they should rethink their team that works on these things...

I think you're operating under a misconception...

Er, yeah... What everyone else said. :P
At first I was pissed, that there was no notifications at the usual place.

But then I noticed, when I'm going to my account --> games -->

[My collection (xxxx)] shows the total number of my games, followed by [updated (xx)], IF there are any games updated.

If there are games updated, I click on that little arrow right from [updated (xx)], et voila: only the updated games are shown, and I can download the patches, etc.

It's really no biggie.

groze: Those blue dots you mentioned are hardly notifications. You still have to have your Library page open and check them manually. Plus, like you said, it only works for installed games; you won't get "notifications" for any game you own but don't have installed.
I just checked that and for me it shows updates also for games I own but don't have installed.
12 games with updates, 8 of them aren't installed.

I stand corrected, then. They must have changed it in some Galaxy update, since I distinctly remember it working as I described it did. Then again, I've had everything on auto-update for quite a while, now, it's possible my memory is playing tricks on me.

Either way, thanks for clearing this up.
