Matchmaking DRM
First off I want to say this is a great game. Very cute and very fun to play. The game play is solid. If I was to give a review based on the game play alone it would likely be a 5. However I shop at GOG strictly to avoid DRM. Avoid it like the plague. This includes any and all third party services that render a product non-functional OR limited. Sadly like many games coming to GOG now this one falls into the limited category. To play multiplayer in this game in any way, shape or form you need an internet connection to connect to 'matchmaking service'. I am being deliberately vague as that is literally how the game presents it. Doesn't even seem to have any additional functionality other than being a third party service that you HAVE to connect to for any multiplayer. Now you might think "Why is that an issue?" My answer would be, because that is a form of DRM. It is a system by which the multiplayer portion of the game is only functional with the internet. So if you wanted to play the game in a non-internet based LAN. You are out of luck. I think GOG really needs to revise how they present these games and remove the 'multiplayer' tag and replace it with 'online multiplayer' or even just 'online' as there are plenty of old games I play multiplayer in a LAN that do not require an internet connection. I get the need for ease, I even get the need to have matchmaking. What I do not get is how a company can stick by the DRM-free when forced third party matchmaking is DRM. It might not be heavy handed DRM but it is still "You want to use this feature of our product, you connect to our service". That is DRM. What happens in 5-10 years if the matchmaking goes down? I don't like gimped products and I'd like to be warned in the future if such a product is to be gimped. (limited) in such a way.
