GOG Galaxy is the official client for GOG (formerly Good Old Games) with which you can download and play all the games you've purchased on this service. You can obviously buy other games, too.
GOG Galaxy Review
The main function of GOG Galaxy is making life easier for its users. Thus, like Steam, it lets you receive automatic updates for all your installed games. This didn't used to be necessary, but it's very useful now especially for more modern releases like The Witcher 3.
From GOG Galaxy, you can visit GOG.com forums and chat directly with friends who use the client. Moreover, within the folder for each game in your library, you can check out and download extra content: manuals, maps, illustrations, soundtracks, and so on.
GOG Galaxy is a super interesting client for GOG games especially because, unlike Steam or Origin, you DON'T have to use it in order to play. You can use GOG Galaxy if you want, but can opt not to if you don't have an Internet connection or simply don't fancy opening it.

Keep up to date with the latest GOG.com offers, purchase, install and play games all from this clientWhat's new in GOG Galaxy 1.2.56.15:
GOG.com has done a lot of people a great deal of good over the years, and it’s one of the heavyweights when it comes game DRM-free distribution. Now, the people at GOG.com have decided to create GOG Galaxy, a client that provides the same functionality as that of the website, while it also adds a few features that make the gamer’s life a whole lot easier.
Slick, user-friendly and very practical
GOG Galaxy enables its users to purchase, download and install all the games that are available on GOG.com with the same discounts, bundles and so on. The client displays a smooth and highly comprehensive user interface that makes it accessible to anyone who is looking for a better way of managing their GOG bought games and not only.
Through the GOG Galaxy GUI, you will be able to browse the newest titles, check out offers, add games to your wishlist, view technical details and even read up on what other people say about them. However, the best feature, so far, is that GOG Galaxy can be used to install all the latest updates and game patches that are released through the website, without there being a release delay between the two. Once it’s out, you get it.
A tool that brings the community closer together
GOG Galaxy is designed to offer a bunch of in-game features that enrich the GOG.com experience. You get multiplayer matchmaking and achievement tracking, stats oversight and crossplay. The latter means that if you or your friends have Steam acquired games, installing them over GOG Galaxy won’t affect you in any way, and neither will it prevent you from playing together.
With GOG Galaxy, you even get a chat feature that makes it possible to see what your friends are playing so you can join in or make an invitation to your game.
It’s optional, but things are so much better with it
GOG Galaxy is an optional application for GOG.com users. Not having it installed won’t affect the way you purchase or play games but there are several good reasons for you to have it. More so, it also provides several features that can be enabled or disabled according to your preferences.

GOG Galaxy 1.2.56.15add to watchlistsend us an update
10 screenshots:
“Hooray, another third-party store and download client for my PC games!” is a sentence never uttered by anyone, anywhere. Steam is the one we put up with. Ubiquitous and all-encompassing, looming over everything on a marketplace made of hats.
Over there we have Ubisoft’s Uplay, infamous for erasing cloud saves on a whim and unable to perform basic functions like uninstalling alpha versions of games (Rainbow Six: Siege, I’m looking at you … because I can’t remove you.) Meanwhile, EA’s Origin performs a tolerable service (with a half-decent refund policy,) but still feels a little like a jealous King guarding his FIFA-shaped gold from the rest of the realm.
But if anybody is going to do one of these in an inoffensive, customer-cheering way, it’s likely to be GOG.
A super exciting settings image showing the current set of options, plus those that are “coming soon.”
The GOG Galaxy beta is pretty light on features, but that’s okay because this particular download client is just as notable for what it allows you not to do. For a start, you don’t even have to use it. GOG is going to maintain the current system of DRM-free site downloads, so if you’re ideologically opposed to these clients in general you can skip it entirely.
Today’sWitcher 3 pre-load, for example, is available through GOG Galaxy, or in 4GB chunks from the GOG site. A nice change from the norm, where companies force you to use their new, shiny gadget because it’s new and shiny (even if it’s actually worse, or you don’t like it.)
As already noted, this beta version of GOG Galaxy has yet to implement quite a few of the (optional) features like friends lists and the ability to chat with them. One which sounds particularly interesting is the option that will allow players to roll back to a prior patch, perhaps in circumstances where an update has managed to break something or reduce performance.
This carries some attendant questions, such as whether this option will be available for all games or just those GOG/CD Projekt Red tie-ins like The Witcher 3. It’ll also be interesting to see what happens with games that have an online component (which usually demand the latest patch no matter what). None of these things are arguments against the idea as such, just aspects that aren’t yet clear.
If you fancy installing patches at your own pace, you can disable auto-updates.
Of the options which do presently exist in the GOG Galaxy settings menu, my favourite is the ‘Startup page’ selection. Unlike so many other clients that dump you automatically to the store screen (because of course, you want to buy things every time!,) here you can load in to your game library by default. That’s a simple, but very welcome, choice.
I have a question concerning the mehanix of the Doom Bots. I normally play against Bots (happens only when I introduce a new guy to LoL. League of legends doom bots 2019. The Doom Bots of Doom, also known as Nightmare mode, is a Featured Game Mode for League of Legends. The first featured mode to utilize bots, this is Co-op. Doom Bots of Doom Tier List. LoL 2018.

The same settings box also provides the expected options to alter your default installation folder, toggle whether GOG Galaxy loads as part of Windows’ start up process, and a slider for concurrent connections (one to ten.)

To test out the download speeds, I grabbed Hotline Miami and Mount & Blade on different days. The Miami download was fairly slow (0.9MB/s,) but with Mount & Blade I was getting speeds comparative to those on Steam (between 2.5MB/s and 3.0MB/s). Honestly, I think I just had a spotty connection on the day I was testing Hotline Miami. The Witcher 3 pre-load (for those who are able to do that) will provide a more meaningful, wide-scale stress test, I’m sure.
There’s no way to pause downloads at the moment (at least that I could find,) which feels like a bit of an oversight. Hopefully that option is coming in a future release. If you quit out of GOG Galaxy and return, the download does just resume from where you left off, so a manual pause toggle in the client itself should be possible.
Not the fastest download speed for Hotline Miami, but I think my own connection was to blame there.
As promised by their feature list, GOG Galaxy works offline without issue. I pulled out my wireless adaptor, and was able to load Hotline Miami in just the same manner as when connected. Masque of clavicus vile morrowind.
Things like achievements are promised at a later date (if those matter to you,) but as with a few other things it’s not totally clear whether games (like Hotline Miami) will just be importing their Steam achievements or receiving special GOG ones.
Though it’s clearly not complete at this point, GOG Galaxy seems pretty consistent with the site’s overall philosophy towards customers. It’s actually quite refreshing to use a bare-bones client that just downloads games to the folder you select and not a whole lot else. The optional nature of the settings (and even the client itself) means people will be able to keep it that way if they wish, or adopt things like chat and auto-updating as desired. It shows basic respect for those who don’t necessarily want some amazing new feature imposed upon them, and means GOG Galaxy will probably be something I wind up using out of preference rather than begrudging acceptance.
GOG, the best place to find older, DRM free games, is now a competitor for Valve's Steam client with the introduction of GOG Galaxy, a new online gaming platform.
Gog Galaxy Limit Download Speed
Unlike Steam, GOG Galaxy includes only DRM-free titles and is focused on bringing old, popular games to players' attention. The lack of AAA titles will be addressed in the future, but for now GOG Galaxy has only one big game to offer and that's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Since we have just been accepted into the beta, we thought it would be nice to show you what GOG Galaxy looks like and what it has to offer.
First of all, the graphics are very clean, a pleasure for your eyes. Everything looks nice and smooth and the UI is intuitive enough, since there aren't too many controls.
Among the most important features that GOG Galaxy offers users is the option to keep your games updated automatically. However, in a future version, the client will also allow players to enable the option to be notified about game updates without downloading them.
Choose not to download updates automatically
This will allow players to roll back to certain versions of the game if the updates provided by developers break the game or the saves.
The community section looks like a forum where each game has its own thread where players can enter and make other topics or threads.
The beta also has achievements, online multiplayer and matchmaking with cross-play, for compatible titles. Cross-play means that you will be able to play with people that own the game on Steam.
We have tested the download speed of the client and it looks like it's on par with what Steam has to offer, so there should be no complaints here.
With GOG Galaxy, you will be able to download any extras available for a game separately. If a game has a manual, artwork, wallpapers, or any extras, they will show up on the game's page and you can choose to download them with a click of a button.
And the best thing is that GOG Galaxy is optional, so if you don't want your PC to run another online gaming platform, then you can download your GOG games directly from the website.
