Black Friday? It may only be Tuesday, but of course every store wants to get ahead of the game. GOG's Black Friday Sale is live now.

Running until December 3rd, it's another good chance to save some monies. Plus installing GOG games on Linux / Steam Deck is easy enough with the Heroic Games Launcher.

Scanning over it here's some good deals:

Head over to the GOG.com store to pick something up.

Are you grabbing anything? Or are you waiting for the next Steam sale perhaps?

I had somehow missed that EU-IV was on GOG! 90% off for the base game, and several selected expansions is a pretty good deal...

Only noticed it myself today, so figured it was a highlight.
I highly recommend Cyberpunk 2077 if you liked System Shock 2. Worth every penny.

Stellaris upgrade bundle is 70% off ( https://www.gog.com/en/game/stellaris_upgrade_bundle )

CrossCode is 70% off ( https://www.gog.com/en/game/crosscode )

So much to look at.

Just to add some of my favorites, all played from GOG on Steam Deck:
Colt Canyon - $3.49 - it's like a Westernized Risk of Rain? Quick fun "runs" with snappy combat and various heros to unlock. I like the rifles and the long pistols best.

FAR: Lone Sails - $2.69 - linear adventure game of about 2.5 hours in length with some fun new ideas. Power your little sand boat and manage some of its systems while navigating a wasteland. There's a sequel too, but it's on Steam only (?)

Loop Hero - $4.39 - Another roguelike looping game where you place card tiles to influence what sorts of monster spawns and rewards you get as your knight autobattles around in a circle. Lots of depth and amazing chiptunes.

Technobabylon - $8.49 - An adventure game set in the future where a digital bohemian and a grizzled cop have a murder to solve. Smartly written with very good characterizations, and a strong sense of place and time (maybe even reminiscent of Beneath a Steel Sky, that 1994 gem)

Hob - $4.39 - Doesn't play great on Deck, but it's serviceable. Runic's final game after Torchlight 2, it's a language-free action adventure sort of like Zelda, with more puzzles and more abilities. Fantastic art and visuals. It's a gem and sadly overlooked.

Other faves not on sale: Star Renegades (turn based action combat, like a blend of FTL meets XCom meets FF Tactics, much better than the 3.7 rating on GOG); Sable (combat-free exploration adventure game with BotW climbing? It had a touching story and captures that sense of invincibility and "the world is HUGE!" that we all had as teens); Perfect Tides (another teen drama set in year 2000, I really enjoyed it, it's better than it looks)

Quoting: ElectricPrismI highly recommend Cyberpunk 2077

I've been patiently waiting on that one, hearing how it's gotten much better esp. with the expansion. I think this might be the time I finally snag it and burrow in this winter with another long RPG. I've been dying to scratch the CDPR itch and hopefully this helps.

Alpha Protocol is one of my favorite worst games; so janky, so broken and unbalances, but still one of my tops for choice and consequences. Not as big a sale as it should probably be at this point, but still worth it if you can overlook having to fight the game half the time.

Yakuza series is always a big recommendation for me. I picked them up and started with 0 last summer and now have gotten through all of them, including both Judgments, Ishin, etc. Personally not a fan of the directions they went starting with 7 but 0-6 are one of my all time favorite gaming experiences, even the older dated ones. They all ran well on the deck too, though the newer engine ones (6/K2 forward) are a bit sluggish in spots.

Metro Exodus has gone lower on steam before ... so I guess I'll wait for that; or rather -- for this year's Christmas giveaways at the Epic Store.

CyberPunk 2077: 60+ hours in and the number of glitches are very few. And the scope of the game is just incredible. If you like Metal Gear Solid 2, System Shock, it has a cameo from Portal 2 side-quest -- we're playing 4k@60hz on RX 7900 XTX and it's really a work of art in a way I didn't expect -- I would always see the banner of it on the store and just be like "nah", but yeah in my opinion it's ready and worth getting the expansion too straight away.

Thanks for the other recommendations, I guess we got some sales starting up

I went ahead and nabbed CP77 anyway since I've really been wanting it lately, with holiday downtime. Now as I feared, it has me wanting a better GPU. I could drop RT but I made the mistake of trying it with everything maxed right off the bat and both frames from the benchmark were beautiful.
