Why Need for Speed Heat Needs to Be on GOG — And Why It’s the Second-Best NFS Game Ever Need for Speed Heat is the ultimate return to form for the iconic franchise — a perfect fusion of daylight racing, nighttime outlaw action, and deep customization. It absolutely deserves a spot on GOG, not just for preservation but for the recognition it has earned as the second-best NFS game ever, right behind whichever fan-favorite you place at number one (Most Wanted 2005 or Underground 2, depending on your camp). Released in 2019, Heat gave fans what they’d been craving: police pursuits, a huge open-world map, and a solid, offline single-player experience. By separating day and night events — clean street racing by day, illegal reputation-building at night — it added strategic depth rarely seen in arcade racers. The risk-reward system for night racing cranked up the tension, making every escape from the cops a pulse-pounding thrill. Customization is back in full force, too. From visual tuning to performance upgrades, Heat brings back that Underground-era creativity. And the car list? It’s stacked — featuring everything from JDM legends and supercars to classic muscle. Putting Need for Speed Heat on GOG would mean a DRM-free, preserved version of a modern masterpiece, free from client restrictions. It respects player freedom — just like the game itself does. It’s stylish, fast, loud, and unapologetically fun. In a world full of live-service racing games, Heat burns brightest — and it belongs in every racer’s GOG library.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

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.
