  • Nothing is stopping existing owners from downloading the offline installer backups, but existing owners will still have access to their games through GOG regardless. Delisting just means that the games will no longer be purchasable, so if there’s a game you want to “own”, as long as you buy it before it’s delisted, it will remain accessible to you for the foreseeable future.


  • Matchmaking was only open so many hours in a day. I don’t know if the available uptime was region based, but at least in North America, it was open in the late afternoon/early evenings Monday through Friday. It was open for most of the day on Saturday and Sunday.

    It’s VERY MUCH a work in progress. Despite how many people are already playing it, they’re actively changing it all the time, and patches can and will drop without any warning.





  • Weirdly enough, Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon. I’d dipped in to the Yakuza series here and there, but never had one grab me. LAD played with some classic JRPG mechanics (specifically inspired by the Dragon Quest style games the protagonist would have played in his youths), and combined that with a mature protagonist (in his early 40s at the start of the game) who still managed to radiate the relentlessly positive himbo energy that was refreshing and fun.

    Of course, the story itself is bonkers and fun in a way that the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series has always been. I went in not expecting much, and found it to be the most refreshing game I’d played in years.




  • Closest I can think of is the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic game from 2006, from Arkane (who later went on to make Dishonored and more recently Prey and Deathloop). First person, you pick your class between Fighter, Wizard, and Rogue, and most of the combat involves figuring out how to use traps, physic, and magic to kill your targets. Lots of ledges to kick monsters off of or spikes to knock monsters into, or creating ice on the floor as a wizard to make enemies slip to their deaths. Holds up pretty well for a 15+ year old game.
