GOG Puts Over 150 Wishlist Faves On Sale
/ Matthew Arcilla
GOG.com, that good old games retailer that deals exclusively in DRM-free games is hosting a massive games sale this week, and it’s absolutely certain that at least one game you want, no need, is at a cut price right now.
That’s because the theme for the sale is “GOG’s Most Wanted,” and each and every game that’s discounted is taken from the most popular items on GOG users’ wishlists. It might not be Christmas, Halloween, Easter or even Spring, but you don’t need a special calendar occasion to enjoy a sale now do you?
Prices on the Most Wanted Sale can go up to 85% including The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which is a great lead-in to the store’s most popular wishlist item, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its various expansions.
Coming in a close second at the time of this writing is Divinity: Original Sin 2, arguably the apotheosis of CRPGs in its modern form, with Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition, Homeworld: Remastered and Grim Dawn following closely behind.
The sale also includes heavily-discounted classics Freespace 2 and Deus Ex, critical darlings like Owlboy and Superhot and modern classics like Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Legend of Grimrock II and Thimbleweed Park.
GOG.com’s Most Wanted Sale is live now, and runs until April 23, 2018. Keep in mind GOG.com does not adjust pricing for your region. Therefore, prices may be better or worse than they are for your region on Steam.
Developer Relic Entertainment is working on a turn-based strategy game called Earth vs Mars, which by its name pits Earth’s defenses against an alien invasion. It’s set to launch on Steam this Summer and is the first game from the studio's Relic Labs program.
KARMA: The Dark World launches on March 27, 2025, on PS5 and PC. Priced at $24.99, it offers launch discounts plus an additional discount on Steam for players who own Wired Productions' previous titles. The latest trailer, featuring 'Into the Mist' by Geng Li, teases surreal visuals and a gripping mystery. Xbox release to follow later.
Even with a few fumbles on the game’s online netcode and matchmaking, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. still delivers an excellent fighting game for newcomers and Virtua Fighter fans alike. And with this being an online-focused endeavor, it can only get better through patch updates.
Sony and Bend Studio have announced Days Gone Remastered for PS5 and PC, featuring new game modes, accessibility options, and graphical upgrades. Launching April 25, 2025, the remaster includes Horde Assault, Permadeath, and Speedrun modes, plus an enhanced Photo Mode. Players who own the PS4 version can upgrade for $9.99.
Capcom released Monster Hunter Wilds launch trailer which features Jin Dahaad, the Apex Predator found in the Iceshard Cliffs location in the game. They also gave the game’s post-launch roadmap, giving players an idea what to expect from the game in the coming months after release.
A couple of weeks after the launch of anime extraction shooter Synduality: Echo of Ada, Bandai Namco and developer Game Studio revealed that the game’s season 1 update will include a new map called East Amasia, new Requests (quests), gear, and more.
Synduality Echo of Ada has potential, but its flawed economy, tedious grind, and lack of meaningful story incentives make it hard to recommend in its current state. Without drastic improvements, it risks being forgotten before it ever finds a steady audience.
Sony will no longer require PC players to sign up for a PSN account to play any of Sony’s games when they become available on PC. Moving forward, the incentive for having a PSN will be in the form of in-game rewards.
Publisher Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja’s open-world action adventure Rise of the Ronin is heading to PC via Steam on March 11. Pre-orders are also live and contain the same preorder bonuses that were included on the PS5 version.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii reuses the Infinite Wealth setting that still feels fresh and exciting for many and is packed with an absurd pirate theme that reminds us that the Yakuza series can go anywhere it wants and still find ways to entertain. Over 10 hours in, Pirate Yakuza is already showing that RGG can still give reason to invest time on their spinoff projects.
