Story:After being promoted by Michael Corleone to Don of New York, players expand to new cities, as they build up their families through extorting businesses, monopolizing illegal crime rings and defeating new families in an effort to become the most powerful mob family in America. To help players manage their empire, The Godfather II introduces "The Don's View" - an innovative strategy meta-game that allows players to oversee the entire world as they grow the family business. Using the Don's View, players will be able to build, defend and expand their crime rings, while keeping an eye on the movements and plans of the rival families. Players will also learn to master the business of organized crime by building a family of Made Men, hiring crew, handing out orders, and promoting their best men up the ranks. Set in a stunning open-world environment, The Godfather II expands on the popular gameplay mechanics of the first game and doubles down on the series' signature BlackHand control scheme, which now features even more visceral hand-to-hand brutality at your fingertips, introducing a new combo system, pressure tactics and executions. In The Godfather II, players fight alongside their hand-picked crew, who have their own skills and expertise. Each family member specializes in a specific field such as demolitions, arson, engineering, first-aid and more. As The Don you control the family, sending some of your men on missions while heading off into action with others. The combination of strategic organized crime gameplay and brutal BlackHand action promises to set The Godfather II apart from other open-world games. Play The Godfather II online multiplayer modes and become the true Don of Dons. Take your money, weapons, and crew from your single-player experience online and wage mob warfare against up to 16 players from around the world. Play as one of the family's crew specialists and put your best strategies to the test as you take over territory and strike back at rivals. Earn upgrades and money that can be used in your single-player experience.Show more

I still remember the trailer for this game, using Dean Martin's "Ain't Love a Kick in the Head" while the player literally kicks people in the head in time to the music. An interesting retelling of the events in Godfather 2 but your character (named after Michael's son ironically) changes everything, even going back to Cuba to take over more rackets, which unlocked better bonuses and income if you controlled them all. Very fun game for a semi-movie tie in that I would like to see brought back in an age where games like gta and mafia are the top dogs for crime games.
Man the whole management system in this game was amazing, the gameplay was nice and smooth, the executions, the different cities. Really need this brought back!
Amazing game! Would love to have a remake or a least a chance to play the same game. Needs to be officially back in digital format. I used to play the first and second Godfather games and compared to Mafia franchised I liked them even more because of gameplay mechanics.
Why The Godfather II Needs to Be on GOG and Why It’s the Best in the Series (Despite the Bugs)
The Godfather II (2009) might be a flawed gem, but it’s arguably the best game in the series thanks to its ambitious blend of open-world action and strategic empire-building. While the first game laid the foundation, The Godfather II expanded the vision—bringing in mechanics rarely seen in crime sandbox titles, like managing crews, taking over territories, and planning hits with tactical depth.
Set during the late 1950s, the game lets you build your own criminal empire across New York, Miami, and Havana. The addition of the "Don's View" is a standout feature—essentially a strategic map that lets you manage your rackets, assign crew members with unique skills, and plan takeovers. It combines real-time strategy with GTA-style action, giving players a Godfather-level view of their growing empire. It’s a truly unique feature that still feels fresh today.
Yes, it’s buggy at times, but the ambition and creativity more than make up for it. The gameplay loop of expanding influence, making enemies, and calling in your crew for backup during chaotic firefights is incredibly satisfying. There’s real power in being able to make high-level decisions and get your hands dirty.
Releasing The Godfather II on GOG would preserve this underrated classic, clean it up with modern compatibility, and give players a chance to appreciate what it tried to do. It may not be perfect, but it’s bold, fun, and unlike anything else in the genre. It's time to make it part of GOG’s digital legacy.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
