These kinds of games wont save GOG, they're low tier garbage. Stick with what made and can continue to make gog a great platform.
The primary issue with the entire game are the controls. The game was developed with controllers in mind only. A developer mentioned on another forum they hadn't even tried the mouse and keyboard but it "should work". They do.. but not too terribly well. Switching to a controller the controls and movement are still very "stiff" overall. The overall progression of the game is very awkward, you end up walking (sometimes without the option of running) from point a to point b, just walking, unable to do attacks or anything. You then end up at an encounter or boss that you get to fight a bit, and it's back to walking and pressing "e". The main protagonist is unlikable and has very cringe worthy one liners, in addition the voice acting is extremely amateur sounding. It's unfortunate since the trailers make the game look so pretty, like it's an alternative to DmC however I implore you to watch some game play videos before jumping into the purchase. If physical was still king you'd find this at your local Walmart or staples in their tiny jewel case selection for $5.
Not sure what it is about this game but I've always come back to it. I remember being obsessed with the demo back in 98. Was a high school student so couldn't afford the full version. Something about it even then was so attractive. I remember 100% agreeing with PC Gamers highest score of all time for the game and being happy that such a great game got that highest award. I'm not really a 4x player honestly I'm more of an FPS and RTS guy but the atmosphere, sounds, graphics setting... everything about this game just click. The dark overtone and the "uknown" are just fantastic. I actually got a little obsessed and bought all 3 novels as well. The gameplay just offers so much, again not a 4x expert or player really but the ability to customize units is great, the diplomacy options actually feel meaningful and the ever present mind worms even late game cause concern. Even as late as November 2020 I was found myself playing on my period accurate K6 450mhz machine until 5am in the morning.. on a work night. The games just so addictive. It captures the 90s spirit so perfectly. Hard to really think of many negatives honestly. No game has ever even came close to scratching the itch of this game.
