Yes, I like the idea of having everything in one library such as Steam and indeed the vast majority of my games are on Steam, but I do think GOG has it's place as they seem to handle the classic games far better, hence their full name "good old games" in that they actually bother to patch and optimise them to work on modern systems, a surprising number of older Steam games aren't and they (GOG) actually include original materials like the manuals and sometimes bonus stuff like guides and posters. Yes, this seems minor looking at today's games but don't forget a lot more effort went into game manuals back then and due to the old fashioned copyright systems they employed some of those old games are literally unplayable without the manuals.
I find the other stores that just sell modern games (Origin, Uplay Microsoft Store) more annoying than GOG as these don't serve any particular niche, they just have too big egos to admit that Steam is the standard is PC gaming and instead have to be awkward and ring fence their own games off with their own propriety storefronts....

I'm tempted to re-buy some games I have on Steam/Origin, as I have just rebuilt my PC and gone Linux only - my hope is that some of them will work with Wine, as doing Windows Steam through wine is not proving as reliable as hoped.
Cold. Some of these are available as abandon ware. They are being sold at their true value, buying a pre 2000's game here at quoted price is almost criminal. Some of the indie titles are worth it but only at the discounted rate. Cold from me, people should ONLY shop on GOG when their is a sale on.

Sure, If you want to illegally download these games, then you could turn to the free abandonware downloads.
The copyright is still in place on ALL of these games. Just because some people label the software as abandonware does not give you the right to download the game for free.
I think GOG deserves our support.

Well GOG make these titles compatible with modern OS so they actually work, including compatibility issues you might not encounter till later in whichever game it is.
If that's worth something (and it is) buy from GOG, if not just go abandonware and do the fiddling yourself.

Great deal. Your short list is great value too. If you just want Superhot you can get it for less than £2.5 at: https://www.g2a.com/game-deals?banner=main&shop=global with a bunch more titles included (Syberia II, Syberia, Lords Of The Fallen Digital Deluxe, SUPERHOT, DiRT 3 Complete Edition.).

I wish these Telltale game prices were similar on consoles...

me too, have to wait ages for decent prices. Often giving the first episode for free to stuff but its like a fiver per episode. I wait for decent sales, Walking dead S1 i got free, Wolf among us was free, Game of thrones i got for 6.99 and Tales from the Borderlands i got from game for £5 which just finished episode 2, best one Telltale game so far.

Good deal but wouldn't want to use GOG personally , hate having more than 1 games library , annoying enough going between steam, uplay and origin

I've been picking titles on GoG over steam more recently, just because I know I actually own that game. No worries about pointless & invasive DRM. The game files are truly mine to do whatever I want (no more worrying about if Steam is down). Plus often their older titles are actually ported better (as in they actually patch/update them) than on Steam - which often just sells em without validating if they can even run on modern machines.

Lol - that's exactly my opinion on Steam. Why buy something there when all my other games are in my GOG library?

You can add a non steam product and run it through steam, just don't get steam achievements, but it keeps your library together
The hidden object adventures also occasionally come up in bundles e.g. on bundlestars and humble bundle but sadly not with any regularity....

can anyone recommend any puzzle type games that are similar to Professor Layton? The missus has completed all of the prof games so wondering what others might suggest? ta.
Not sure if GOG do them but the Artifex Mundi games are a mixture of puzzle, hidden object and point and click. Generally all well reviewed (check Steam). https://www.artifexmundi.com/g/

Heated, great sale, worth noting the classic Sim City series also has some good offers on it too (2000, 3000 and 4). I finally picked up SC3000 at £2.09, cheapest it's been I think as it was the last one to be added to GOG so hasn't been on there as long as the others....
