Battle Forge was one of a kind game made with Strategy gameplay and Deck building in mind that some will think of it as basically Magic the Gathering RTS, however, it had much more depth thanks to it's RTS side which allowed for very unique and fun mechanics such as Unit Sizes actually affecting how each unit would deal with one another, (e.g smaller units getting trampled by bigger ones). The Spells and Unit Abilities could quite literally change the outcome of a battle and it was magnificent to see, specially for the tech of that time! Walls crumbling under the Stampede of a Juggernaut, the impact of Construct Main Cannon hitting a XL Unit and the visual spectacle of the many spells at your disposal are just a few examples of how amazing and addicting Battleforge trully was...and still is! EA being EA shutdown Battleforge back in 2013 due to, most likely, financial reasons, however, the game has been recently revived back in 2020 thanks to passionate fans and rebranded as Skylords Reborn! It not only has a small dedicated playerbase but also recieved several updates in recent years with new cards already avaible and making new fresh and intereting Decks! The game however lacks in visibility and thats where GoG's Dreamlist comes to mind, bringing Battleforge/Skylords Reborn to the Store as a free to play game (as it already is!) on a similar way as they did with Fallout 4: London will could surely help bring newer players to not only play the game but also help expedite it's development progress! We still got a long way ahead of us for Battle Forge to reach a more noticeable place in the ranks of the Dreamlist but I hope one day it will be there or at the very least helps give it more reconition that trully deserves!

Having the game on GOG would greatly expand the audience of the game. Most unforgettable part for me is that I did have the great opportunity to learn and help revive the game for the small but dedicated player base.

Five Nights at Freddy's

Five Nights at Freddy'sWelcome to your new summer job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! The main attraction is Freddy Fazbear, of course; and his two friends. They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds! The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman. From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed! Can you survive five nights at Freddy's?

Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.
