Simply one of the most beautiful experiences ever made possible in the world of gaming and one that truly proves that video games can be a form of art as well.
One thing that is imperative to enjoying the experience fully is knowing as little as possible about the game when starting it. The game also leans heavily on this - it holds your hand as little as possible, piquing your interest, setting up a mystery for you to solve and then allowing you to, almost completely, wander and do as you see fit. Truly, there is no other like it.
Such an amazing experience, journey and narrative, a genuine one-of-a-kind that only the video game medium could produce. A game you can only really play "properly" once, figuring out both the story and your role in it, being the rogue-like element of the game, so once you "beat" it, you've finished the book, ended the film, so on and so forth.
Sad, but completely worth playing none-the-less, one of those times you wish you could just forget and go back in blind for the first time again. If any game truly deserves to be preserved by GoG, it's gotta be this one. It's a game everyone should have the right to play at some point in their life.
I hope we get a DRM free version of this. This game is too important to be left on Steam or Epic, plus I cannot stand First-Person Perspective controls on the console versions. An open world innovative indie game, with player exploration at the forefront of it's design, dealing with theme's of death and peace, made by a small team who didn't need alot and knew what they were doing, with the whole thing being at the epicenter example of video games doing what movies and books cannot do, who wouldn't want this in their collection?
It's impossible to recreate the feeling of pure wonder and magic that comes from playing your first ever immersive videogame... or so I thought. Then I played Outer Wilds, and for the first time in more than two decades, I felt like a child again.
This game changed so many people's lives, including mine. If any game should be preserved, it's this one. And so I humbly offer this quantum poem* to the overlords of preservation in the hope that it may please them:
To guide them home
I play my song
Under this cold starry dome
Hope it won't take long
(*the lines of a quantum poem should be read in any order)
Je ne sais pas, je n'y ai pas encore joué mais d'après les nombreux retous que j'ai, c'est un jeu inoubliable et d'une importance capitale dans le monde du jeu vidéo. GOG est le protecteur de notre média préféré, nous ne pouvons pas laisser les jeux disparaitre parce que Steam, Epic ou un autre ont décidé que le moment où il le retirerait de leurs magasins, ils disparaitrait à Jamais.
This is my all-time favorite game. Without getting into too many personal details, the way this game helped me accept my mortality and reframed a near-death experience I had was absolutely life-changing. The peace it has offered me regarding life and death is a price that can never be repaid to the developers. I owe them so much. I would love for this game to be made available on GOG.

Prince of PersiaThe game is set in ancient Persia. While the sultan is fighting a war in a foreign land, his vizier Jaffar, a wizard, seizes power. Jaffar's only obstacle to the throne is the Sultan's daughter (although the game never specifically mentions how). Jaffar locks her in a tower and orders her, under threat of execution, to become his wife. The game's nameless protagonist, whom the Princess loves, is thrown into the palace dungeons. The player must lead the protagonist out of the dungeons and to the palace tower, defeating Jaffar and freeing the Princess in under 60 minutes. In addition to guards, various traps and dungeons, the protagonist is further hindered by his own doppelgänger, an apparition of his own self that is conjured out of a magic mirror.Action
Arc the Lad IIThis direct sequel to "Arc the Lad" continues the unfinished story of the first game, but starts from a totally different perspective. You control a bounty-hunter named Elk, who suffers from amnesia. On his quest for his own true identity he discovers the powers hidden within him, and the destiny of his entire tribe. While pursuing his archenemy, Elk meets up with Arc, the hero of the first game, and then both realize they have been looking to destroy the very same evil.
The battle system of "Arc the Lad II" is similar to the one used in its predecessor: in battles you can move your characters on the battle field, and your proximity to the enemies plays an important role. You cause and take different amounts of damage depending on your position on the battle field. Unlike the first game, this one is a full-fledged adventure/RPG, without the "strategy" feel of the predecessor. You move through the game world on your own, visiting towns and exploring dungeons.Fantasy
