“New” is a bit of a stretch, I already owned all of those on GoG. But hey, if them cherry picking which games they’ll vow to patch themselves helps them get a marketing hit I’m all for it.
Also, Expedition 33 launched in there, along with the newer Tomb Raider games. Am I a bit mad that they didn’t go for it at launch and made me get it on Steam instead? I am. Still glad there’s a DRM-free option, though.
Zany golf? Now that brings some nostalgia memories… I remember playing this with my cousin when we were like 6 years old.
I hate the hole with the electronic shock!
Star Control 3 is really good.
The Blake Stone games are unexpected and kind of a random choice, but now I may get to experience what Civvie was ranting about.
Star Control 3
It received a lot of criticism at the time because they sort of bought into the Star Control 2 / The Urquan Masters IP and ghosted the main devs, but I found it fun too. It’s sort of funny because it has become such a trend of the serious, they also got into a row with the Star Control Origins guys, another fun take by another good studio in the same sort of genre, and even went to court against them. Now the original devs have crowdfunded FREE STARS: Children of Infinity as the official sequel.
In regards to multiplayer gameplay similar to Star Control, there’s Subspace Continuum, particularly the Trench Wars server if it still exists. It’s probably still active. I also remember Stardock did its own take on it called Stellar Frontier. There was also a shareware game called Solar Winds from long ago which was single player but had similar gameplay.
Solar Winds was awesome! One of the few shareware games I actually bought the full version of!
Star Control 3 is really good
Really? ((Frumple))
It very much appeals to what I like, so that’s a big help for it.
Did you play star control 2 though? :o
No I only played 3.
It’s free to play! You owe it to yourself to try if you enjoyed star control 3. It is a much more fleshed out version IMO and is absolutely amazing :>

I can’t believe I’m that old.
We were a Blake Stone House instead of Doom or Unreal, so this is exciting. I also like Mega race but it runs like ASS, especially the FMV bits. Great news here for me!
Did the Chinese state preapprove these titles?
No Devotion = No Sale
