The end result of this layout is a aesthetically pleasing library of games. This again however mostly affects smaller, less heard of titles (aka the games you pick up in a sale). The games themselves are presented as if they were on shelves, with a good majority of games (bar niche titles) having box cover art which for games looks good but I have noticed a few slip ups with some titles failing to fit their title into the 342×482 box. Luckily, the filter option exists, allowing you to block out games that get in your way, including but not limited to the ones you accidentally picked up in a sale, or the ones you just really don’t like or maybe even the ones you promised for the 50th time you’re taking a break from! It’s a pretty neat system, but tedious and time consuming for those with big libraries.
You can also add tags to make finding games easier, as well as giving them your own rating. You can edit, delete and rename these categories (called bookmarks) to your will, which makes finding that one game you forgot the name of that much easier. Once you’re all hooked up and have submitted your accounts to the launcher, Galaxy will automatically sort the games by launcher, as well as add them to your games collection.
Alternatively, you can add games by doing a quick search, marking the game as owned, showing Galaxy where the exe file is and viola: hitting play will run the game. Galaxy 2.0 has the looks, but does it have the touch? Yes, it certainly does: from the get go you’re given the choice to integrate your launchers, which is a simple and painless process, provided you remember the login details to your nine year old Steam account. The text looks nice too, which is a bonus. It’s a choice that ensures the colours aren’t invading the text and images, which can be appreciated by anyone who has visited a website made before 2009. A yellow, red and blue pallet encompasses the overall design of the launcher. First of all, let’s talk design GOG have opted to stay true to their galaxy name, and have implemented colours that match the graphically appealing sight of a galaxy. It’s a novelty that makes a difference for some people (especially game collectors), but is just another launcher for others.Ĭurrently it’s in closed beta, which means if you have signed up to test it (which you can still do by going here) you will have access to GOG Galaxy 2.0Īfter spending some time with the launcher and testing its limits, I’d like to share my thoughts on its current state. Luckily, CD PROJEKT (creators of critically acclaimed RPG The Witcher 3 and upcoming sci-fi epic Cyberpunk 2077) are in the process of upgrading their launcher, GOG Galaxy, to accommodate other launchers to act as a universal launcher, allowing you to access all your games from one place. Steam, Uplay, Origin, the Epic Games Store, Blizzard Launcher, Microsoft Store, Bethesda Launcher and now Rockstar’s launcher: It’s getting a bit crowded to say the least.
