I beg you to release this game but also the first one too (Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone). I have so many good memories of these games connected to playing them with my dad, my little brother, cousins. The atmosphere of Hogwarts is deeply connected with memories of going to the cinema for the movies as a kid. And don't forget great music of the Jeremy Soule that made this game unforgettable. Must play!
My family and I would rent PS2 games cause that's what all we had back then. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was one of those games. I have so many memories of this game. The beginning part with the trolls was so much fun to just mess around in. I would love to play these games again!
Better yet, the first 3 Harry Potter games that were developed by KnowWonder on PC - they had the same vibe and gameplay, it's like a trilogy. Totally different from the more action-focused console versions too. I love these 3 dearly, but getting them running on a modern OS is not so straightforward (shoutout to the community-made DX9 renderer).
Ces trois jeux résumes littéralement mon enfance et mes débuts pour ma passion des jeux vidéo. La licence vidéoludique Harry Potter est une super façon de revivre les aventure du célèbre Apprenti Sorcier. J'ai adoré explorer les couloirs de Poudlard et son parc, l'ambiance musicale par Jeremy Soule est magnifique. Ca serait génial de refaire ses aventures, résoudre des énigmes magiques, combattre des créatures fantastiques et finir la collection de cartes de sorcières et sorciers célèbres.
A Completely Absurd Demand from Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters
Dear GOG Team,
We, Lord Voldemort, the One Who Must Be Taken Seriously (but in a fun way), along with my loyal Death Eaters, demand that you add the Harry Potter collection to your DRM-free library. Failure to comply will result in a curse so ridiculous, even the Sorting Hat will reconsider its life choices.
Why? Because GOG, you are the chosen ones—the rebels of the gaming world. Steam? Pfft. You’re the only platform worthy of such magical freedom. So we demand every Harry Potter game, including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Quidditch World Cup (yes, that one). You can’t possibly leave out the magical llamas and Hagrid’s hut Wi-Fi hotspot, can you?
Let the world experience Harry, Ron, and Hermione battling dark wizards while Snape broods about how the graphics aren’t dark enough. Oh, and don’t forget Dumbledore—he’ll be squinting at the screen like he’s trying to decipher ancient runes. Meanwhile, Ron will probably complain about the controls and say something about his lousy luck.
If you don’t comply, we’ll unleash a curse so absurd it’ll make the Whomping Willow do the Macarena. And as a bonus, we’ll send you a complimentary Dementor who, we promise, will not suck the life out of you. Probably. Also, there’s a robotic camel we’ve trained to fire artillery, but we’ll get to that later.
So, make it happen. The wizarding world is waiting. And the llamas are getting impatient.
Yours in absurdity,
Lord Voldemort and his Very Confused Death Eaters
P.S. The artillery robot camel is coming too. Just... deal with it. We’re on a tight schedule.
Starting with the Philosopher's Stone up to and including The Prisoner of Azkaban, the three games were really special for a freshly teen me. They became memorable and special for me to this day, for what they allowed you to experience and it's not just because of the franchise, it's something that was less common on the market - to make you feel like a wizard. Not like a super powerfull legendary badass - simply a guy, who is also a wizard, just like anyone around him in this universe. Now sure there were games where you could play as a wizard, but they all were all soooo battle heavy, even if you were starting off as a runt, the final goal was to become some fireball and lightning spewing warrior (as an example) that battled evil on a battlefield.
These games in turn, maybe weren't mechanically the best, maybe they didn't follow the plot to a T and also have the cliche of having to defeat evil, they approached the subject more from a civilian perspective, if it makes sense. Sure we also encounter monsters and baddies, but also some mundane aspects like having lessons or exploring the castle in search of secrets (probably more if not for the limitations at the time), which helped make it feel more like a civilian would, in a society where everyone is a mage. Something like: "oh no, a gnome stole my shoe, guess I better pull out the slippery floor spell again", rather than "lightning bolt from the sky, NOW"
In tandem with the books, this gave you a feeling of simply "living" an ordinary school life of a fairly ordinary wizard boy and this I believe, is the biggest part behind the giant success of the latest Potter game - Hogwarts Legacy.
The first 3 games really captured that vibe for me and many others, as we can see now and that is why we want them brought back and I say this not as a Pottermaniac. I like the story and all, but to me the important thing about these games is not that you are Harry, but rather that you "live" in a magical world when playing them.
The Harry Potter games were some of the most interesting games I ever played. Not only was every version different (Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PC/GameCube) but they were all bangers. These were the first games I remember had a language option and as I didn’t know English overly well at the time of the first game release it was nice to be able to play a game in Spanish all the way through. Once I knew it well enough I switched it back to English and would learn while playing. It will forever hold a special place in my heart because of it.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was the first game I ever played. I never finished it as a kid, instead, it was my dad, who didn't even play videogames that finished it. It's one of my most memorable experiences and I hate the fact that these games are basically abandonware. If they could be preserved I would instantly buy them to keep my memories of these amazing games alive.
These were wonderful childhood memories. I bought the Lego collection, but these felt better. I'd love to share these titles with my family, so the younger generation can enjoy fun jank.

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

Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera.
Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are.
The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling.
The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.Horror Survival
