The best version of the game. We need this game with a great remaster. Perhaps a remaster similar to "rtx remix" works as "Half Life 2 RTX" with Ray Tracing, ambient occlusion, improved textures, and not just a resolution boost. Also that admits ultra wide screens and HDR for a better experience.
Please listen to the community and bring this game to GOG.
why is manhunt 2 cool
1. Historical Significance
Manhunt 2 was not just another violent video game. It became a lightning rod for discussions about video game censorship, freedom of artistic expression, and the line between interactivity and morality. Its banning in multiple countries and rating struggles in the U.S. (originally receiving an AO—Adults Only—rating) caused significant disruption. Rockstar was forced to cut and blur parts of the game just to secure an M rating from the ESRB.
This is important history. Games are art, and like any other art form, they deserve to be documented and studied—not swept under the rug. The uncut PC version, originally available in limited release, represents the truest vision of what the developers intended. For scholars, critics, and mature players, access to this version matters. GOG, with its mission of preserving classics, would be the ideal home for such a release.
2. A Unique Experience in Game Design
Unlike Rockstar's more famous open-world titles like Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt 2 is a slow-paced, methodical stealth game that emphasizes survival and immersion over chaos and freedom. Players control Daniel Lamb, a mentally unstable man trying to piece together his past after escaping from a secretive asylum. The narrative is twisted, but also psychologically deep—it’s more about the fragility of identity and trauma than mindless violence.
The game challenges players not only to survive but to think critically, using shadows, distractions, and silence to outmaneuver enemies. It blends horror with stealth in ways few games have attempted since. While there are moments of brutality, they’re deeply intertwined with the protagonist’s descent into madness—serving a narrative purpose rather than being gratuitous. The uncut version makes this clearer, as its rawness reflects Daniel’s internal chaos without artificial filters or censorship.
Ready or NotReady or Not is a tactical first person shooter which places you in the boots of an elite SWAT team, tasked with diffusing hostile situations in intense, claustrophobic environments. It's set in a nondescript modern America, where an income disparity between the classes have become unsustainable and the country has been plunged into havoc. Bring order to chaos with up to 8 players in cooperative play, battle enemy squads in a close player-vs-player environment, or command AI in a striking single-player mode.Action

Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.Action Stealth
MechWarrior 2: 31st Century CombatYou are the genetically engineered Clan Mechwarrior. The Clans are invading the Inner Sphere. Join either the Wolf Clan or the Jade Falcon Clan as they pursue their own agenda against the Inner Sphere and other Clans. Take your advanced Omnimechs into battle against all comers. Win high warrior ratings (by using less mechs or smaller mechs than needed, completing secondary objectives, etc.) and you'll get chance at a promotion trial where you face superior odds in an arena. If you win, you advance in rank. If you are very successfully, you can make it all the way up to Khan, leader of the Clan!
Mechwarrior II was developed in-house by Activision as the successor to their original Mechwarrior. While this time there are no dynamic campaign and mercenary actions, the Clan culture is integrated into the two campaigns. Different clans have different mechs and different rules, even different weapons. You can customize your mechs in order to use less than the "par" force in order to get a higher rating. The full 3D environment wasn't pretty as this was before the 3D accelerators made their debut, but it's still better than anything that came before. Let addition of NetMech allowed users to fight each other online. When 3D cards came along, special versions were created to take advantage of 3D texturing. While not QUITE as replayable as Mechwarrior, it's nonetheless a classic.
If you want them now, get the Titanium Edition, which is 3D accelerated.Action Science fiction

Sakura Wars: So Long, My LoveSakura Wars is a Strategy RPG that features a unique sim-based story system. An in-depth storyline exists, much like in any other RPG; however, the player's destiny in the game is not predetermined. Character interaction plays a major role, and your responses to the various characters in the game can ultimately change the story content and even the final outcome. The battle system is divided into two main parts; ground combat and air combat. Ground combat takes place using two-legged mechanized suits, which transform into jet fighters to take the fight to the sky. Every mech unit in the game can transform from battle mech mode to jet fighter mode during combat. Once transformed, weapons and movement methods will change as well. For example, the hero's ground mode utilizes a sword as his main weapon, but in jet mode he will use long-range missiles.Action Romance
