A curated selection of recent and timeless classics, up to 90% off!


UPDATE: Hey, still considering what you should get from this fascinating lineup? Well, you'd better hurry - they're going away on Monday!
Here are a couple more greats that our friends at PC Gamer really liked:


There's something sinister but strangely alluring hidden below the surface - every traveler of the Sunless Sea knows it. At least those who survive long enough to discover the dark tales its natives have to tell.

Bulging muscles and square jaws look way better covered in blood. We know it, you know it, the Broforce knows it. All that's standing in their way to it are legions of hapless terrorists and plenty of fully destructible environments. Easy.

But also:
- Spelunky got a rather <span class="bold">glowing 96/100 score</span> praising its challenging but rewarding platforming.
- Samorost 3 was described as "<span class="bold">a warm and joyful adventure through a magical world</span>".
- Legend of Grimrock was hailed as "<span class="bold">a very devoted homage that nevertheless brings back a golden era</span>".
- Satellite Reign left them <span class="bold">entranced</span> thanks to its rain-soaked cyberpunk city and solid squad-based combat.




Gaming is awesome regardless of platform but we'll admit to having a soft spot for PC gaming. Our friends over at <span class="bold">PC Gamer</span> feel much the same way, what with their in-depth coverage of PC games, hardware, peripherals, and pretty much everything there is to know about our all-purpose machine buddies. So it's no coincidence that they went through our store catalog and came up with their <span class="bold">PC Gamer Picks</span> to help us spread the love!


Beating FTL's unpredictable challenges while drifting through the randomly-generated space will take much more than wishful thinking. There are strategic decisions to make, alien technologies to assimilate, and bitter deaths to shrug off. Spoiler alert: it's totally worth it.

Is Her Story reliable? Some of the details are rather sketchy and her behavior seems...odd at best. Watch as many clips as possible and make up your mind on what really happened but don't let her considerable acting skills throw you off.


As always, there's more – including Sunless Sea, Towerfall Ascension, Broken Age, Hotline Miami, Samorost 3, and many other gems!

The <span class="bold">PC Gamer Picks</span> sale will last until April 10, 4PM UTC.

sergeant_citrus: I'm apparently the last gamer in the world to play Psychonauts, so thanks, GOG! If it's as fun as Brutal Legend, then I'm looking forward to it.
I played it for the first time some months ago. Great game, totally worth it!

Most happy peoples are busy playing their new games. I also like the selection, I'll probably buy Massive Chalice and Sanctuary.

Different kind of humour but it's great. It also does not have those RTS elements Brutal legend (which I rstill really like) has.

Oh you have no idea.This is easily the most wildly imaginative, diverse, and outright wacky game Tim Schafer ever made. And that's saying something!

ciemnogrodzianin: • Broken Age - it was huge disappointment for me. I'm a great fan of point&click adventures, but the game is boring and irritating at some point; there is a lot of better good old games here...
"Irritating" could also mean that you might not have understood the game? Of course this is totally subjective but I liked it and was not bored a bit.

And because of that GOG hopefully is planning to bring Psychonauts 2 here as well when it is finished?

Midweek or later there should be another parallel promo. Hope I'm not wrong.

SpiderFighter: Next time you guys do a PC Gamer Best Of list, maybe pick one from the 90s? :)

Could you show us the list, that was in that magazine issue?

I quite liked the story. It's really complex (that's the reason you suggest I do not understand:), original and it's nicely played with two parallel threads. The game has also beautiful graphics. The problem is gameplay only. I agree that it's just my subjective opinion. I do not say anything else.

For me the game is, well, uneven? Some puzzles are trivial (especially the first scenes which moved me quickly from fascination to boredom), some of them - really hard. Some solutions were brilliant and some of them were really irritating (e.g. when you need to move quickly from one location to another and you are not even sure if the failure is caused by not being fast enough or you just missing something).

I really wanted to like this game, but it just doesn't work for me. I'm happy that you've enjoyed it and I hope it'll bring a lot of joy to other players.

I shudder at the thought, ... Goat Simulator here we go ... does he (PDP) even play games anymore ?
I mean, he could do a 'PewDiePie looks at paint drying' video and still get 4 million views.

Does this come with a demo disc with a cool intro?

Ah - thank you for your detailed explanations. Yes, I would agree to what you said here. In this way gameplay really can be called a bit irritating (I thought you meant the story to be irritating). I still liked it though.
