gog.com/news/release_grim_dawnRelease: Grim Dawn
Hacking and slashing 'till the break of dawn.
Grim Dawn, the ridiculously addictive action/RPG that transcends distinctions between quality and quantity, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy support for multiplayer and achievements, and a 10% launch discount.
Since the ancient times, the coming of dawn has been the arch-nemesis of dedicated gamers the world over. This is all about to change as the coming of Grim Dawn will soon become associated with endless gaming sessions for many years to come. Or until your powerhouse Hardcore character meets their permanent death.
All the features you crave in a modern ARPG are here. You can tailor your hero to suit your play style by mixing and matching the six available classes in awesome dual-class combinations, with dozens of skills and modifiers sprinkled on top. Then, make sure you have enough room in your inventory to store the abundance of clickable loot found in this vast, apocalyptic fantasy land. Take them with you in world-shaping quests that will make you face tough choices and decide the fate of entire villages as you question your alliances and face the consequences of your actions. Hundreds of uniquely skilled enemies (and your homework) will attempt to stand in the way of your heroic deeds, but that will only make the visceral, spectacularly depicted bloodbath feel all the more satisfying.
Surrender yourself to the gothic allure of hacking and slashing and welcome the Grim Dawn, DRM-free on GOG.com.

gog.com/news/release_baldurs_gate_siege_of_dragonspearRelease: Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
The lost chapter in the Bhaalspawn saga
Siege of Dragonspear, the brand new expansion that bridges the gap between Baldur's Gate I and II, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com.
What happened to our heroes after they defeated Sarevok and before they ended up captives inside Jon Irenicus' prison lab? Did they stick together? Did they drift apart? Did Boo get to bite any more delicious eyeballs? The brand new 25-hour expansion Siege of Dragonspear promises to answer these pressing questions, which have been lingering for 18 whole years, while also delivering an adventure worth of Baldur's Gate's glorious legacy.
A powerful army led by a charismatic warrior only known as the Shining Lady has been pillaging the Sword Coast, forcibly enlisting locals and causing general unrest. Even more disturbing are the rumors of her also being the child of a god. A showdown is inevitable.
Siege of Dragonspear brings your party to entirely new areas of the Sword Coast, facing new monsters, finding new loot, and tackling new quests. All your companions from Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition return and are joined here by Captain Schael Corwin, a deadshot archer, Voghiln the Vast, a mighty northerner warrior, M’Khiin Grubdoubler, a goblin shaman (new class), and Glint Gardnersonson, the kind gnome cleric. Your RPG experience gets even more enhanced thanks to the improved UI and Infinity Engine features, which will feel both familiar and welcome to new and seasoned players alike.
If you want to get the OST from the original Baldur's Gate, plus the extra tracks composed for the Enhanced Edition and Siege of Dragonspear, you can also grab Siege of Dragonspear - Digital Deluxe Edition.
Note that GOG Galaxy support for achievements in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, and Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition - Siege of Dragonspear is going to be implemented in the near future.
Continue the saga of the Bhaalspawn and deal with a rising power in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, DRM-free on GOG.com.
Siege of Dragonspear requires Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition on GOG.com. You can pick up Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition at 75% off, or 85% off if you own the original saga

gog.com/news/release_ashes_of_the_singularityRelease: Ashes of the Singularity
We definitely asked for this
Ashes of the Singularity, a vastly ambitious RTS of clashing transhuman armies, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and multiplayer, and a 10% launch discount.
Was relying on A.I.s to transcend our biological limitations ever going to end well? Sure, post-humans may have used their unprecedented potential to conquer space, transform the planet, and achieve feats once thought unimaginable. But the greedy, manipulative human nature apparently transcends all. And once triumphs over technology and space became commonplace, so did the war for ultimate supremacy.
Much like the aforementioned synthetic super-brain, Ashes of the Singularity utilizes a multi-core A.I. that can simulate the challenge posed by (trans)human opponents in an awe-inspiring way. The powerful 64-bit engine can also offer us sprawling maps that support scores of super-detailed units, with their effectiveness decided by a targeting system which makes use of true line-of-sight physics. Since its early access phase, more playable factions, game modes, global abilities, and the single-player campaign Ascendancy War have also been added to the game.
Transcend the constraints of human nature and emerge victorious from the Ashes of the Singularity, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% discount will last until April 7, 18:59 BST / 10:59 AM PDT / 1:59 PM EDT.

Collecting pieces of ancient technology, unearthing buried knowledge, and exploring treacherous ruins is the Hyper Light Drifter's way of life. Along with your trusted drone companion, Sprite, you will delve into dense forests, floating structures, and abandoned but not uninhabited dungeons seeking forgotten treasures and well-guarded secrets that might hold the cure to your terrible disease. Vicious, fast-paced battles await you. Your customizable arsenal of weapons and defensive systems, as well as your fluid maneuvers will prove critical when faced with the hulking bosses and the brutal terrain. Don't let the haunting music and the evocative pixel-art fool you: the shoes of a Drifter are steeped in blood and secrets that should be left undisturbed.

Glad to see Bloodlines continuing to stay in the Top 25, even 2 weeks after release.
Not bad for an incomplete, bug-ridden (even with the Community Patch), almost 12 years old PC-exclusive.

I played it with community patch, and didn't really experience major bugs. At least not breaking ones like crashes or gameplay deadlocks.
True... I was referring to mostly just smaller visuals- and gameplay-related quirks insignificant to the whole experience, but still.
I still need to get it - actually never played it. But currently I'm still busy with Pillars (again), and then there's Blood and Wine coming up...
