Why Need for Speed Heat Needs to Be on GOG — And Why It’s the Second-Best NFS Game Ever Need for Speed Heat is the ultimate return to form for the iconic franchise — a perfect fusion of daylight racing, nighttime outlaw action, and deep customization. It absolutely deserves a spot on GOG, not just for preservation but for the recognition it has earned as the second-best NFS game ever, right behind whichever fan-favorite you place at number one (Most Wanted 2005 or Underground 2, depending on your camp). Released in 2019, Heat gave fans what they’d been craving: police pursuits, a huge open-world map, and a solid, offline single-player experience. By separating day and night events — clean street racing by day, illegal reputation-building at night — it added strategic depth rarely seen in arcade racers. The risk-reward system for night racing cranked up the tension, making every escape from the cops a pulse-pounding thrill. Customization is back in full force, too. From visual tuning to performance upgrades, Heat brings back that Underground-era creativity. And the car list? It’s stacked — featuring everything from JDM legends and supercars to classic muscle. Putting Need for Speed Heat on GOG would mean a DRM-free, preserved version of a modern masterpiece, free from client restrictions. It respects player freedom — just like the game itself does. It’s stylish, fast, loud, and unapologetically fun. In a world full of live-service racing games, Heat burns brightest — and it belongs in every racer’s GOG library.

Slow Damage
Slow DamageSlow Damage takes place at some point during the 21st century in the fictional ward of Shinkomi, which is located in Tokyo, Japan and was previously a part of the Tokyo Bay City No. 13 subregion. The country is in the midst of a recession and, in an attempt to resolve these economic troubles, the government repurposed this area as a large-scale casino resort due to its historic prosperity. This ward is governed by the corrupt Takasato Group whose only interest is their own financial gain. The story follows Towa, a resident of Shinkoumi who lives his life in a carefree and apathetic manner, showing no concern for his future. The only thing that captures his interest is painting—more specifically, painting the innermost desires of other people.

Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return
Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine ReturnTomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return is a side-scrolling platformer in which the titular character, Tomba, moves on predetermined linear paths until he reaches an intersection point where a flashing arrow appears over his head. At that point Tomba can move in either direction the arrow points. Some areas in the game enable the player to explore them in a top-down view, allowing Tomba to move around freely. The main goal of the game is to complete all 137 objectives (133 make the regular ones, while the other four are obtained from a Tomba 1 save file) which range from retrieving a fishing hook for a fisherman to helping Santa Claus find his "sack". Completing a task earns the player "Adventure Points", which can be used to unlock specific boxes scattered around the game's world. As the game progresses, Tomba can obtain suits that give him special abilities. For example, the flying squirrel suit allows Tomba to glide long distances while the pig suit allows Tomba to communicate with friendly pigs. Scattered throughout the levels are magical feathers that can instantly transport Tomba to any area that has previously been visited.

Brave Fencer Musashi
Brave Fencer Musashi150 years ago, the legendary warrior known as the Brave Fencer Musashi saved the kingdom of Allucaneet from the evil Wizard of Darkness. Now, his spirit is reincarnated in a young, rather short-tempered boy. Fillet, the princess of Allucaneet, summons the reluctant hero to the palace and gives him the powerful sword Fusion, which he needs to defeat the evil Thirstquencher Empire. It soon turns out that the Empire is after another legendary sword, Lumina, so Musashi's first task is to get it before the bad guys do!.. Brave Fencer Musashi is an action game with strong RPG elements. Controlling Musashi, the player explores the pre-rendered backgrounds from third person view (similarly to Final Fantasy VII), visiting towns, talking to NPCs, etc. There is a day/night cycle in the game, which is manifested in the schedules of NPCs and/or monsters, as well as Musashi's fatigue level, which increases if he doesn't sleep enough. Musashi uses the two swords, Fusion and Lumina, to fight his enemies. The two swords have different properties: while Fusion behaves more or less like a traditional melee weapon, Lumina needs to be imbued with various elemental items in order to unleash powerful attacks.
