Time for another free game, and a chance to get some nice discounts while you're at it too, as GOG are giving away Tropico 4 during their Back To School Sale. To claim your copy, simply be logged into GOG and scroll down on the home page to claim it.

As for the sale there's over 5,900 games showing up as discounted, so no doubt a little something for everyone.

Some nice discounts on RPGs like:

Or maybe you want some Strategy games:

There's also plenty in the sale you'll only find on GOG too. And of course thousands of others across all genres. Take your pick, I'm just throwing out random suggestions here that look good.

Check out all the deals in the GOG Sale. It runs until September 10th 9am CEST / 7am UTC.

If you need help with GOG games on Linux Desktop and Steam Deck, your best bet is probably the Heroic Games Launcher which recently had some nice improvements.

It's a shame that The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind aren't discounted before they will be delisted at the beginning of next month.

I forgot about those games!

The Suffering: TTB is THE first game I played when I got my first ever GPU, the pixel shader effects totally blew me away

I'm one of those that only realized they were sold on GOG when the news of the end came…

Sometimes there is a stickied warning thread on GOG, sometimes they only post it on their semi-secret discord, and sometimes there is an announcement after the fact.

Kult's collection thread on GOG catalog removals or Games At Risk of Being Removed from GOG's Catalog - Tracking Thread can help. The first thread might be too late depending on GOG and the second thread has a lot of guesses.

I played those on PS2; really enjoyed and finished the first one, but I don't think I got too far on the second one before I got distracted for some reason or other. Not sure if it didn't pull me in as well, or if it was just bad timing.

Good news. GOG has managed to get the publisher to agree to a final 80% discount. It seems that they previously were only discounted by 75%.

4 is way better IMHO. Everyone should give it a try. It is a good builder with nice humor, cool music and some of the most lovably incompetent characters you could find in a game.
