Hollow Knight - can't blieve that this hasn't been mentioned in a thread wanting metroidvania recommendations
Shovel Knight
And Diablo and Warcraft I/II - since GOG is the ONLY place to get these currently - not even Bliz can be bothered selling / supporting them! :P

timppu: Not that I necessarily disagree but if I may ask, why do those other sites frustrate you?

Just asking because I have academic interest in why people prefer GOG.com. I'm gathering statistics about this, asking all the people on the world that same question, one by one.

You happen to be the first one I've asked, so according to my current statistics, 100% of the people are frustrated by Steam/epic/battle/etc.
Most of the frustration comes with the exclusivity, of needing 50 launchers cause everyone and their aunt wants you to use theirs. Other frustrations include valve not doing anything while their store fills up with garbage, and epic making this huge push to get people to use their launcher but offering something lackluster at best in return. I see what gog is trying to do with galaxy 2.0, that the games I purchase are mine and it makes you wonder what the other guy's malfunction is.

... that the games I purchase are mine ...


Well, they are and they aren't. I echo Drosa's recommendation (post 13) and keep a download of the backup installers, I keep mine on a 2 TB USB HDD, just in case. I suspect that sometime before the world melts the internet will go down.

Some platformers you'd probably enjoy are Spelunky, Treasure Adventure World (or its free original incarnation, Treasure Adventure Game) or Shantae: Risky's Revenge

Sorry to tell you this but GOG isn't any worse than Steam. It's all the same with a different name.

I have high hopes for galaxy 2.0 and have signed up for the beta. But since I am new here I am looking for some friends to play with so please add me and maybe we can game together.

Also since I'm already in here does anyone have recommendations of games to get? I know gog has some older titles and titles that may not have as much visability on other sites because they get buried.
Really depends what you're into. If you're into FPS games then I'd recommend the Unreal Tournaments and the Quakes for multiplayer. GOG also has a treasure trove of indie games. much easier to find thanks to this thing call quality control.
