A great sequel to an awesome game, it takes everything that was good about the first and makes it better.
The story is even more epic with some of the best levels of the series, with a great soundtrack and voice work.
Spent tons of hours playing with my friends when I was a kid.
It's a shame that this series was lost, it's a truly revolutionary RTS.
This game was an improvement over the first in many ways. The community made some amazing plugins! There is still a community alive for it here 25+ years later through custom metaservers for online play and discord. This style of RTS is so unique compared to the rest - you use the units you get to plow through the levels. no resource gathering, no building, only skill. multiplayer has a unique 'unit trading' system to trade between units with points as currency. This series doesn't deserve to get lost to time and would make an excellent addition to GOG!
The best game there was, the best game there is and the best game there ever will be. There is a thriving online community to this day and no other game meets the unique tactical and strategical approach that this game encompasses. I've never found a game that is more satisfying than Myth 2 Soulblighter in my 30+ years of gaming.
While I spent the majority of my time on the TFL servers back in the day, I will freely admit that the single player campaign in Soulblighter is vastly superior to the original. But my fondest memories involve messing around with the Fear and Loathing development tools bundled with the game and using them to make all sorts of crazy new units!
Myth is the single greatest achievement by Bungie studios in their entire career. Marathon is a close second.
Myth is my childhood. I have never found a game as good as the Myth series since its release. At least, not in the RTS genre.
Myth is the kind of game that GOG EVEN EXISTS FOR. This is quite possibly THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE ever held on GoG.
Words cannot describe how much this game means to me, and anyone who was there in the bungie.net days playing TFL and Myth 2.
It simply is magical. It has never been equaled.
The narrations and storyline. The physics. The gorgeous maps. The humor, the carnage, the endless modability and replayability.
Myth 2 should be on GoG FOR SURE, myth 1 is not that supported but for posterity I think it should still be available.
Half of my childhood was playing Myth II and Starcraft's demos on a loop with my brother and cousins. The amount of joy we got from the strategy of Myth II couldn't compare to anything else on that old apple computer, and I jumped at the chance to play the full game over a decade later. It was hard to run and crashed a few times, so I really would love GoG to bring Myth up to speed with 2025 so I can relive these experiences again (and loop in my cousins who aren't quite as tech savvy). I love the different stories that come from your units carrying over from the levels (if they survive), I love the strategy with positional combat, ground attacks, and the various units. AND THE NARRATION! So great, please bring this to GoG!
I loved the first game as a child, but Myth 2 is even better, and it is unironically one of the best games of all time. Seriously, Myth had a great campaign, but Myth 2's has more variety and more dramatic missions. It's overall an improvement, in my opinion, but fine. Everything I've said about Myth: The Fallen Lords applies here: Gameplay? Innovative and with depth. Art? Improved, clearer, and still detailed and clean. Music? Still fantastic!
The map editor was a great source of enjoyment for me too. The tools were named Fear and Loathing, and that is, no joke, how I learned the word "Loathing", which, really, is a fantastic word. Just listen to it. Loathing. Loathe. It sounds like what it means, and so does Myth 2. It sounds like more Myth.
If getting the original Myth isn't possible, then good news! There is a plugin/mod available that makes game 1 playable in game 2 (even making reverting gameplay changes possible for a more authentic experience). Why? Because as it turns out, this game STILL has an active community, with mods and even some multiplayer, apparently. I've never been too into multiplayer, but it has that too!
Alas, even those of us who still have the old disks suffer. Getting this game installed these days is just a bit tricky, and to get everything working can be troublesome. GOG might fix that, which I'd appreciate because I have occasionally gone through all that trouble just to do a playthrough, just... sometimes. People deserve the chance to play this game. I know there are Bungie and RTS/RTT fans who will go for this these days. C'mon GOG, please? Arguably Bungie's best ever game...
Also, if you can get the Soundtrack... yes, I'd buy this one too.
I started playing Myth 2 around about 2011-2012, which was well after it was sold in stores obviously. back during that time Bungie was going radio silent after releasing Halo: Reach and I found myself stumbling around their forums on Bungie.net looking for groups to join. that was when I found out about this group called "FCAW" that exclusively played older Bungie games. I was able to get myself a copy of the game and play with this group of individuals that had amazingly still been playing every so often since launch.
Through Myth 2 I was able to not only find a group of friends that I could socialize with and look up to; but I was able to get a better understanding of what it meant to be a Bungie Fan before Halo, and how much of a focus that Bungie put into their community. Myth 2 is an exceptional game that tried and did many things I had not seen other games of that era do. the physics, effects, explosions, and hilarious gibbing of allies and enemies alike, makes it one of my all time favorites. and I'm sure that if Myth 2 was on GOG, so many other people would think the same thing.
This was the first game I'd ever considered a 'favorite.' It had a unique style of gameplay and a story that I was fascinated by when I was a kid. I vividly remember playing levels over and over to try and get a perfect, 0 casualties run. It is a shame that no one seems to make games in this subgenre of RTS anymore, I really liked the pure tactical gameplay and dark fantasy setting.

Space Hulk: Tactics"Bringing a unique twist to the classic gameplay of the cult board game, engage in bloody battles through an immense Space Hulk - a twisted mass of asteroids, wrecked ships and debris – as either a squad of Terminator Space Marines or the deadly alien Genestealers. Which side will you choose?
Battle through two distinct, narrative-driven campaigns, from the points of view of two different factions: one campaign puts you in control of a Blood Angels squad, which you will customise and upgrade as you progress, while the other puts you in control of the Genestealers for the first time in a Space Hulk game!
Space Hulk: Tactics is based on the rules of the popular board game, given a fresh new spin in the form of the unique Card system. Cards give more ways to customize your squad before a match, and allow you to turn the tides of battle with abilities that trigger game-changing effects when used at the right moment.
Test your skills against other players in the expansive online competitive multiplayer, letting you command a swarm of Genestealers or a custom squad of different unit types from one of four Space Marine Chapters – the Blood Angels, the Space Wolves, the Ultramarines, and the Dark Angels. Multiplayer modes and tools offer a rich and deep online experience, and include an intuitive map creation tool, which gives players everything they need to create original maps with custom objective, and share them with other players to play either online or against the AI, all from within the game!"Science fiction

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
