Making an excel spreadsheet to catalog all of my owned games. Now here I thought Steam might be the hardest, but when I finally finished it, I come to GOG, and am left scratching my head.

There is nowhere I can seem to find a copy and paste list of my games. Just a series of images. When I decide to look at it as list view, nothing can be highlighted. I thought maybe there would be some code imported to my wiki page from barefoot essentials at least showing the names of games, and it is a simple line of code, with no games listed.

now I could take the task of writing out each title, but I own over 500 games on GOG, and really want to avoid that.

Any suggestions?

And try 3rd party download tools, like gogrepo.py or lgogdownloader.

You can use one of the tools provided by users. One thing I would say, and this should be in big letters with a flashing background:
Do not use Excel!!!

Sure, it's easy, and will seem great for ages. Then you will notice that at some point you have accidentally sorted wrong, or made a mistake, or need to do mass changes, or need to do data cleaning, and then you will have a total nightmare. I know I have been through it, cataloging a few is fine, but when you get up to thousands, even tens of thousands the metadata becomes far more important and difficult to work with. Use a database, I currently use gamecollector from collectorz. It is ok, though you pay once for a few years support, it all works ok, and keeps backups. I have been meaning to build my own using SQLite for some time now, but it's getting round to it. Other options I am looking into is myvisualdb:

Which seems simple and can create apps. But I really cannot say it enough, don't use excel.
