Alpha Protocol

I have played this game on my PS3 years ago, I have also bought it on steam, before they took it down due to some song copyright. I'm not gonna buy it again, but I will happily write a review for it! Has it fun gameplay? I'd say yes. Has it meaningful choices? Yup. Different playstyles? Yep. Potential for decent roleplaying? Yep. Is it perfect? No. Is it still worth buying? Absolutely yes.

Good work, G.O.G.! Could you make the same for the SEGA PC classics that came along since the 90s, like Bug?

Fantastic video... TUUUURN UP THE RAAAADIO! Alpha Protocol IS BACK! The game is a gloriously godawful broken mess of a masterpiece! You have no idea how much i love this game, or how many times I've bought it. The player agency in this game and it's narrative is like nothing else before or since! You owe it to yourself to experience it at least once!

I already have this on steam which I understand (for years now) is no longer possible. But I've been a giant collector for too long so I'm just old and that's why I already have it. This game isn't "good" in the technical sense. It works. I don't ever recall having too much trouble running it (speaking of when I last played it about a year ago, by the way, as this game calls to me at least once a year and I truly don't know why) so it's not that it's a poorly made game. There used to be a "B tier" of video games, though. This is of the later days of that. B games do come out again, now-days (see Robocop which people are calling a "AA" bnut it's actually a "B game"), but for a while anyway there wasn't any Anyway, that's whatever. This game in a lot of ways is Mass Effect, but instead of Science Fiction it's espionage, but the spy craft can be distorted (in sometimes miserable ways) so you're not just stealthy, but also a walking tank. Which was how I enjoyed playing the game, and the biggest reason I always want to play it again. A lot of abilities feel useless, and you should invest in as much as stealth as you can (I think even the pistol is considered the best gum in the game at max skills? I forget now), but I love investing completely in shotguns and armor. Because that's a completely ridiculous way to play a spy, and since this game is bordering on absurd anyway why not have fun with the role play? I never take it seriously. Maybe someday. but thats the fun of this game. It's not "good," but it's grrrrreat.

I am so happy to see this great game coming back on gog. Thank you !
