Not enough time in your schedule to fit everything you'd like to do, yet you still want to be able to find your next favorite game to relax for a while? Today is the day it can finally happen!

Back in October, first users were able to experience the new & improved game catalog on GOG as we've started slowly rolling it out. After testing its performance and gathering feedback, we're ready to unleash it to everyone, starting right now!

We understand that among the more than 5500 titles in the catalog, searching for the game that fits your current needs or discovering the gems that will defy your expectations can be a time-consuming hassle. So thanks to the new catalog you can carry out more customized searches, adding ways to sort and filter games via price range, genres, release date range, and a newly introduced tags system.

The release of the new catalog on GOG doesn't mean we're stopping here. We will be improving it further – yes, sorting by "all-time bestsellers" is coming! And hey, do you have a very specific need, some particular accessibility request, or do you just want to help us help you? Let us know how you like the new catalog in the comments, and share your ideas for what we could bring along.
I think it would be really nice if the tags could be organized into some categories according to what they are describing about a game. For example, one could be "perspective" and have tags like "first-person", "third-person" , "top-down" , "isometric" ,"fixed camera" etc. Other categories could be like theme/setting (all the "whateverpunk"), art style, mechanics(probably the largest category, but I'm unsure how to break it up). I think this could even be integrated with the existing genre system which is I think a little wonky. For example, a shooter is a subset of action games, right?

I think this kind of approach could make tags work better than a system like steam's. Of course it being a curated system rather than user-generated will avoid a lot of mis-categorizations. But further than that, tag categories would help with situations such as games being tagged either "2D" AND"platformer" or "2D platformer." Or say a game with 2D gameplay and 3D graphics would have that tagged separately.

I noticed my green IN LIBRARY buttons had disappeared today when checking Free Games at GOG.

It appears that was due to a change made by GOG of the following.

https://www.gog.com/games

to

https://www.gog.com/en/games

So I added that second URL, and that fixed the issue, and the green buttons are back.

See the following prior posts for more detail.
