I have hundreds of hours in this on Steam, but I'm one of those people that would like to own the games they love so they can keep playing them in the future. I'd happily purchase the game again to have the ability to have a legal offline installer.
I am NOT big fan of Civ 5... but.. if it comes to GOG platform... I would be happy to buy and play it. I know it's available at Steam... but I do NOT want to deal with their platform and requirement of constant internet connection.
I remember being gifted Civ 5 in 2012, only having played Civ 3 seriously before and thinking: 'Civ 5 is pretty gimmicky because of the Hexagons.' and not really liking it / taking it at face value. Then Shelfing the game till 2018 or 2019 when at the start of summer I had just gone trough a stressful semester and felt like I want to try something new. I installed Civ 5, stared a full random game, got given Askia's Songhai and I played the game for a bit, felt I was getting hungry and I remember telling myself "those last 2 hours of Civ 5 are so fun!", then going to another room and realising it's night time outside and I have played for 12 hours straight. No bathroom breaks, no food, no sense of time. And it was Vanilla CIV V! VANILLA! When you play Gods and Kings afterwards Vanilla feels unplayable. What an amazing time travel tool Sid Meier and Firaxis have made!
The amount of depth and mods available for this game is incredible. Community is still on-going and producing great content. Could use a bit of attention to spruce up the macOS and Linux versions, but having at least a Windows version available in a preserved space will help having its support only tied to Steam
The first Civ game I ever played, and that was mainly due to the massive amount of YouTube playthroughs I watched of people playing it. I played many RTS games as a kid but never a 4X due to how complicated I thought it looked, Civ 5 to me was a perfect entry point as it didn’t have a steep learning curve to it to try it out. I loved playing Rise of Nations as a kid so the gaining of new powers and resources was fun for me to try out as with a turn based game a lot more strategy needs to be planned out. It’s not to overwhelming as something like Civ 6 can be with the weather and district management, so if you want to jump into the series this would be the one.
I will never create a Steam account because they are a bunch of dishonest crooks. I would rather play the paid version than the repack release. I paid full price for the commercial retail release of Sid Meier’s Civilization V on DVD but it was a steam fake. The DVD doesn't actually include the game installation just the useless steam subscriber client install with ultra small print on the back barely large enough for anyone to read sayng it was subject to the SSA (Steam subscriber agreement) the game had to be downloaded once subscribed. Can you tell me how that is honest?
I love this game. I bought it in 2012 I think and have put 8,799.2 hours into it as of last night and will be playing it tonight. But it can be frustrating trying to play the games at times because I live in an area prone to power failures and internet outages. There have been plenty of times where my internet was out so I wasn't able to play the game. This game is like crack to me, please give me my crack!

DefianceDefiance puts you in the pilot seat of an experimental LAV-6 SABER, a one-man hovercraft armed with a variety of energy weapons, rockets, and smart-bombs. When a series of tests at a military manufacturing plant on the planet Calchon go horribly wrong, you find yourself under attack by hundreds of malformed, biomechanical monsters. You'll have to fight your way to freedom as you discover what exactly happened to bring these creatures to Calchon's doorstep.
The actual gameplay of Defiance is a hybrid between a first-person shooter and a vehicle simulator. Unique to the game at the time was the ability to "hop" around levels with limited thruster power. You'll have to use your thrusters to solve level puzzles (finding ledges and hopping chasms) and outmaneuver enemies, many of which are armed with their own ballistic and energy weapons.
Defiance presents its story almost entirely in-game, through the use of audio logs, voice overs, and commands from your superior officers. While the story serves mostly as a backdrop for the action, it does so in a way that is not intrusive or overbearing.Science fiction

Valkyria Chronicles 2Valkyria Chronicles 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3, which was released exclusively on the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. The game takes place two years after the conclusion of the original game and takes you back to the epic adventure set in 1930’s fictitious Europe. In this sequel, you play as a group of young Gallian Military Academy cadets who find themselves plunged into a bitter civil war when the newly formed Gallian Revolutionary Army stages a coup. As the drama and battle unfold, you will experience stories of friendship, love and growing pains during a time of war and revolution.
The 'CANVAS' engine originally developed by SEGA Game Studios Japan for Valkyria Chronicles has been fully redesigned for the PSP system. This incredibly distinctive engine will power over 20 new distinct and visually stunning environments where you will have over 200 different missions to explore. For the first time ad-hoc Versus and Co-op multiplayer gameplay will now be available. The 'BLiTZ' battle system has also been re-designed to offer players the freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls, something never before seen in the tactical role-playing game genre.
This game adds some new unit classes and the ability to upgrade or change classes. It also changes the battle system to include multiple map areas that are unlocked as you take over enemy bases revealing more of the battlefield and allowing you to call units into that area.Action Fantasy Historical Warfare
