Wing Commander™: 35th Anniversary Edition

GREAT Update!

I am not a fan of the series, but of those other guys at Lucas Arts; so before I suck at it again I was waiting for a real compatible version, and this one is it. The game's a 'three' for me, but the update rates a 5; and my gamepad worked right away, but is 'xbox 360' compatible on my end, so I do not know about the rest. But, especially if you are a fan, BUY this! No more 'dosbox' itself is worth the price...

Road Rash™: 30th Anniversary Edition

Good Update To Great OLD Game

I really enjoyed this back in the day for short runs. It is still great for THAT. And present era update here is much appreciated for newer systems; runs out of the box, even with a gamepad I prefer these days. Ready to go! My only reason not a '5', may be due to my own setup here ('AMD', for crying out loud) -- some frame-rate drops and it seems to run a bit slower overall than originally -- or this would be a '5' for sure: otherwise a great release and version of the game here. And I also have this previously, can run it natively, but have not for awhile... It is a nice revisit to this 'old friend', and with no need of third-party tweaks for newer systems and control schemes. I recommend, but for what may be my own problem here; again, some lag I noticed at times: Drive Carelessly! Lol.

Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back

Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back

Forget 'Speedruns'...

This game just sucks. I actually liked Bubsy back in the day, better than Sonic; played on the Genesis was better than this crap. Others here mentioned 'speedruns'; maybe another version or something, but this month, rocks in the face, and to jump over water at the same time, no way out. Water hazards were hazardous in the original too, but could be done; in this game, first level, rock in the face, into the water, then done, every attempt: Game Over. Don't buy this shovelware at any price... And, as was asked about in the forum, the yarnballs are glitched and mostly invisible: Is graphically puke and the gameplay is garbage: What's to love here? If you liked Bubsy, don't waste time or money on this one. I would not bother now with any modern version; I still have the original cartridge, console, and emulated versions: I am glad I do; NOT glad I bought into THIS mess... Take it down, GOG; I don't want a refund, only 'revenge'! :-(

Northfall Demo

Kinda Sorta, and Free to Try :-)

Well, running it on a somewhat underpowered machine, it ran pretty well actually; on a bit older i5, not 'super' Nv or AMD. It seems to have a possible balancing issue for the beginning of this game though -- more enemies, than I had ammo, or credits to buy more. And navigation could use a bit more direction, maybe a waypoint -- other than saying 'go in the forest' for something, as it says; but then, this kind of game often doesn't have this, is part of the fun and peril to explore to find parts and supplies. So I come back to the ammo issue again, mainly, that is my only complaint to further try this one. I also died more than once, before I could find if more ammo may be available in or around that forest. One other concern may be the rather static single npc I encountered in the shop at the start; but this game is still also at it's start; may be fleshed out more, as it goes along. And the zombie-like monsters are all gray, but otherwise convincing and deadly enough. Lol... But, I'm intrigued; looking forward to more progress by the developers. And the demo's also of course smaller (16gb) than the projected full game size. I also am not all about the horror genre actually, but a mysterious or otherwise atmosphere I prefer to begin with, for immersion in a game. And this does have that well done! So, again, I am interested in what more the developers have in mind... and, for more about the story and the rest, there are gameplay videos online that are accurate, and are part of why I thought to try this one myself: A '3' I rate this for now, as kinda sorta GOOD to begin with! :-)

Let's All CLEAN UP!

I first played this only to be sure I wouldn't regret my purchase; but then was playing for hours, with very few complaints... For a review for others, it is difficult to say; but for this gamer is a 4.5: First off, because one can accessorize a city differently that is repaired, every time you play, replayability is a plus, compared to others I have and enjoy, but not much is new the next time around: That this one can be played and finished different with each playthrough, I can say without doubt. There were also no glitches or crashes; and this game has basic but sufficient settings for graphics -- they only might have added a brightness slider, would have helped: It is only a bit dark, that I can adjust through monitor settings; but not so dark that I had to. Finally, for comparison, it reminds me so far of a few building and demolition games; yet at the same time it is unique, and like nothing else I play: it is far more casual, no conflict or horror as in most of them. It's not about survival either: The player is calmly cleaning up a mess left over from World War II, using the scraps and some light crafting for building and repairing. There is a bit of exploration and finding collectibles: a sandbox walking simulator, but with this to do. That it could use a bit more life, has realistic graphics, but otherwise static, is my minor complaint, or would be a five star game for me... I recommend 'YouTube' playthroughs or reviews for more detail about it. I add for my other minor complaint, as this is not obvious on YouTube, a keyboard and mouse is best for playing this, though I prefer a gamepad these days; yet the reviews were rightly positive unless one's not into it's casual style of play: I am; and I'm very glad I bought it upon release here; THANKS again, GOG! :-)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition Deluxe

Broken Mess With Updates

Controllers here worked fine previously; now they do not. There is no launch of settings with start of game, as previously; have to go to folder for 'launcher' exe. If one does not know this one does not do this; one paid for nothing today as some configurations, older or newer than standard Microsoft...depends on this for video, data activation, etc. But that's alright, even this does not work right for video anymore anyway: so, GREAT job, guys; glad I kept the earlier version I paid for: Do NOT buy or download unless fixed; it is inferior to previous versions. Maybe pushing their also inferior 'Remaster' is the reason Bethesda is now breaking the original version? Again, leave this alone unless it is restored; DON'T get screwed!

Wreckfest - Season Pass 1

Wreckfest - Season Pass 1

Season One Pass Is WORTH It!

Just to say, other than online perhaps, others say is an issue (I'm not playing online), the Season1 Pass dlc is like the game was finally finished: Lately I was trying to remember what mod I used, and remembered I bought THIS, and installed it, is what I did -- the entire game now plays better than vanilla, as well as for great extra content as advertised and added -- GREAT dlc; and that it should have been built-in to the base game is my only complaint. The npc driving is more agressive like we remember from previous titles by them too, with this installed -- if this included nitro-boost would be like 'Flatout 2' now; more fun and humorous accidents in the racing, and balanced as well as the base, but with more action on the track and more variety of cars and accessories. Though less content included, I am even considering getting the 2nd dlc while this game is still available... If you like Wreckfest, you will LOVE THIS. :-)

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy

GREAT Deal!

Buy on sale, perhaps, for those who are not interested in the enhanced versions: I am not; the 'eula' for those is a pisser, I think maybe to keep Eastern Europe in flames or prevent them. But, since most of us aren't slovakian spies or pirates, just sad about it all, that mandatory eula IS a pisser, and I will never install an enhanced version again... Now, for the original games: CLASSIC! I have barely been able to survive, they are so 'real'; so I prefer the mods, which have more adjustment for this. But without these, no mods would be inspired by these 3 great games, and firsts for their time: 'open world' began for me with S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and another series, 'Far Cry'; and I am 'hooked' since then. So I did think to buy the originals again, with this set here, as a tribute -- and to have 'Pripyat', which I have never played before (or for very long. lol). My only complaint would be a whine about things normal when these came out -- there is no gamepad support; and all I noticed about the hacked enhanced one I tried was it has this: not worth the eula. Would be nice, if the originals had that upgrade; so one star less for this -- but a GREAT deal here otherwise, especially on sale! :-)

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North™ - Legacy Edition

GREAT Update!

Well, I think I wished for this here, voted on 'Dreamlist' at some point; I was pleasantly surprised to see it now available. Previously, three was my rating for the game itself, for it's singleplayer; I had forgotten the struggle to swap and arm all three characters, as one person playing this. But especially since the latest update the game's now even better than originally: a player can swap characters mid-game, as I learned by accident (holding right trigger, press L or R on d-pad), because their 'controller layout' graphic is blank on a Windows 11 system: They should address this, and depreciation of textures and graphics compared to the original (though also looks a bit better in the recent release); but otherwise is a GREAT update to a now even Better game: THANKS GOG; and 'Aspyr'! :-)

FlatOut 2

STILL GREAT

Overshadowed for me I think, years ago, by NFS especially, I later was surprised to get this racer after the fact: fact IS, THIS ROCKS. Lol... Nough said; Others agree, is a great title that still stands up and stands out being an innovative and comprehensive arcade racer over the years. The physics is a bit dated and slippery, but not bad as some from the time, and more than compensates with all it's good points and entertainment and fun... A dash of humor without dialogue, but in the gameplay and racing itself I also appreciate; the 'stunts', for instance, and general mayhem. Lol. GET this if You like autoracing games; get this NOW! :-)
