This should've been on GOG on day 1 - it's one of the quirkiest, most interesting takes on platforming from that time but still plays like a charm to this day. Let's bring it home :)

It's an important game. As with many others, I learned of Fez from Indie Game: the movie, which was promoted on certain online channels. Without thinking much of it, I explored further into the domain, watched it, and fell in love with the power and imagination of indie titles. After playing the game, I can say that it really stands out as a unique title that deserves the attention it garners. From the sprites, the sound, the story; Fez is a unique achievement not only for an indie game, but for video games as a medium.

Fez. Ah, Fez. Possibly the progenitor of the Clever Indie Game, where it does things to get into your mind, or plays clever tricks to reveal a deeper depth. At first blush, it appears to be a simple 2D platformer where death is but a minor inconvenience. Then the hypercube arrives. Now yes, at times Fez could be completely full of itself. Some of the puzzles are very much so "think like the developer." Yes, the developers themselves were a bit unprepared for the reception of some of the things they said. Ultimately, it's trifling and silly compared to what has since transpired. I can only hope that one day, Fez ][ does actually happen. But in the meantime, what a nice void to explore, eh?

Please bring back Fez to GOG! It's one of the crown jewels of indie gaming. I really loved the expansion of the game world (higher dimensions, learning the language, the puzzles). Everyone should get to experience this game, and it deserves to be on the Preservation Program! Do not forget to include the epic, amazing soundtrack by Disasterpeace.
I'm confused. Why has this been removed from GoG? I still have it in my Library from back when it was on GoG, but obviously it doesn't show in the shop anymore. I imagine it doesn't get updated if not being sold on the store?
Those games also need your vote!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.
