One of the better games I have ever played, it is not a game, it is a wild ride of joy and sorrow in the post-apocalyptic world of Nier, masterfully crafted by Yoko Taro. Deeply emotional, full of lore with an amazing soundtrack this game deserves to be game of the century. [2B] or not [2B], the answer is to be DRM free

This game is literally art to me. Its the single most unforgettable game experience ive ever had. The philosophical themes it covers really gave me something to think about. I´d like to buy it again on GOG so I can truly call it my own.

Nier Automata not being DRM free? "This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue... This cannot continue..."
I played this game on PS4 and enjoy it. For me it was an instant classic and I really want to replay it on PC on GOG. The character's the world, the combat were all top notch. Best Regards

Well i just love the main character of NieR that is 2B. I learned about this game's existence when I was doing NieR-themed alliance raids in a mmo FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE. This game is a masterpiece. And it would be really nice if it was also available on GOG DRM free. I already have it on steam. But i would purchase it on GOG again as I personally prefer GOG over steam. GOG is so much better pc gaming platfrom than steam.

This was the game that made me a fan of Yoko Taro. His unique story telling style combined with Platinum Games gameplay help made this game truly memorable for me. It would be awesome to see this on GOG.

This game must be preserved for future generations! the melancholic story that draws you in and one of the best hack-n-slash there is out there and combined with the best soundtracks possible, no wonder Square Enix had to lauch an official playlist of OST's on Spotify and Youtube.
This is the first JRPG I've ever played (not counting Pokemon). What can I say other than the fact that it's a classic - from the story, the music, the characters and just the overall setting aesthetic of fantasy and technology make this game my top game of all time, as of today. Sure, I own it on PS4, and that's already good enough, but I also want a DRM-free PC port (that I could also use mods to my desire just to have even more fun with it). It'd be amazing to actually own it forever.
Best game, cannot think about sand and desert without the soundtrack earworming in my brainz. 2b so wholesome and nice. On harder difficulty without auto aim or lock on the game flows incredibly well once controls are mastered as well, definitely rewards skill even if it is not difficult game.

It's a Nier game. Fairly artificially depressing. They're all robots but get a little too emotional sometimes. Try not to pan the camera to look at things high up. 2B in particular will think you're trying to look up her skirt and get pissed off. I'm not sure even she knows why. Nice music. Lots of potential endings including removing your own CPU from your equipment list. (LOL) Has it's own machine language. Again, it's a Nier game so be prepared to delete your save game in the end.

Endless Legend
Endless LegendAnother sunrise, another day of toil. Food must be grown, industries built, science and magic advanced, and wealth collected. Urgency drives these simple efforts, however, for your planet holds a history of unexplained apocalypse, and the winter you just survived was the worst on record. A fact that has also been true for the previous five. As you discover the lost secrets of your world and the mysteries of the legends and ruins that exist as much in reality as in rumor, you will come to see that you are not alone. Other peoples also struggle to survive, to grow, and perhaps even to conquer. You have a city, a loyal populace, and a few troops; your power and magic should be sufficient to keep them alive. But beyond that, nothing is certain… Where will you go, what will you find, and how will you react? Will your trail be one of roses, or of blood?

Elden Ring
Elden RingElden Ring is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, released in February 2022. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with world-building contributions from novelist George R. R. Martin, the game features an expansive open world called the Lands Between. Players assume the role of a customisable character known as the Tarnished, who must explore this world, battle formidable enemies, and seek to restore the Elden Ring to become the Elden Lord. The game builds on the challenging gameplay mechanics familiar from the Dark Souls series but introduces a more open-ended structure with vast exploration, dynamic weather, and a day-night cycle. It offers deep lore, complex characters, and an interconnected world filled with secrets, dungeons, and powerful bosses.

Diablo + Hellfire

A mad king, his missing son, and a mysterious archbishop are all pieces of the puzzle you need to hack through. You have journeyed to the source of this evil. The town of Tristram - now inhabited only by a handful of survivors, broken and twisted by the madness that has befallen them. A cathedral stands there, built over the ruins of an ancient monastery. Eerie lights and ungodly sounds are heard echoing through its abandoned halls, and that is where you shall venture. Embark, if you dare, on a quest to destroy The Prime Evil… Experience the legendary action/RPG that influenced an entire genre. Storm Diablo's halls as either a Warrior, a Sorcerer or a Rogue - each with unique skills and abilities.

A spine-chilling story - experience the horror of a world held in the grasp of The Lord of Terror. Ahhh, fresh meat! Travelers looking for the authentic Diablo experience can play the game as it was in 1996, with period-appropriate 20 FPS SVGA graphics, and the ability to matchmake through the classic version of Blizzard’s Battle.net online-gaming service. For those wanting something a bit more modern, Blizzard and GOG.COM have collaborated on an updated version of the game tuned for today’s gaming PCs, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, a host of bug fixes and high-resolution support via aspect ratio-correct upscaling. The most voted game on the GOG.com wishlist, finally trapped in a DRM-free soulstone! Return to the beginning of this dark saga, now in digital format for the first time ever. Better value than Wirt's wares, guaranteed.

Destiny
DestinyBungie has emphasized that the universe of Destiny will be "alive". Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers. The game's style has been described a first-person shooter that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements, but Bungie has avoided defining Destiny as a traditional MMO game. Instead, the game has been referred to as a "shared-world shooter," as it lacks many of the characteristics of a traditional MMO game. For instance, rather than players being able to see and interact with all other players in the game or on a particular server—as is the case in many conventional MMO games—Destiny will include on-the-fly matchmaking that will allow players to see and interact only with other players with whom they are "matched" by the game. Destiny will incorporate a new game engine that allows global illuminations and real-time dynamic lighting to occur together. An innovation in Bungie's "hopper" technology, which has been the backbone for Halo's matchmaking system, will allow better player matchmaking in order to create a more natural experience in either cooperative or competitive multiplayer modes.

Demon's Souls: Black Phantom Edition
Demon's Souls: Black Phantom EditionKing Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly to expand his might. The Nexus, a great ice shrine nestled in the mountains, bestowed the power of the souls onto him, bringing prosperity to his kingdom. Still unsated, he returned again to the Nexus, where he foolishly awakened the Old One from its eternal slumber. This long-forgotten evil, now wrought upon Boletaria, plunged the realm into darkness and fog. A mighty demon horde poured into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men. Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria's fate and sought to deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land. Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness... This European special edition includes a hardcover Art Book, the soundtrack on CD and a strategy guide.
