It's an unusual game; take a look at the TotL Biscuit review before purchasing, as it frequently goes on sale.
It's beneficial to set up an account at GOG if you haven't already. Unless you want everything confined to Steam, GOG offers a great option that works well together. I appreciate their commitment to ensuring older titles function properly on Windows 7 and 8.
GOG stands for its own platform - the main principle is that all content remains DRM-free, giving you flexibility. After purchasing a game, you can either download the installers and add-ons directly through your browser using any preferred manager, or utilize GOG’s own download tool for Windows or Mac, which functions as a simple download utility with alerts. An unofficial Linux version is also offered: lgogdownloader. A fully-featured client called Galaxy, including patches and achievements, is in development and currently in alpha or beta stages. GOG assures it will stay 100% optional, allowing you to select only the features you need while still supporting standalone installers if desired. The exact release timeline for Galaxy isn’t confirmed, but it’s possible it could launch alongside Witcher 3.
Great! That's impressive. I'm okay with another DRM solution (such as Galaxy) if it works reliably and the main site offers solid sales. I don't have a strong attachment to Steam, but it clearly delivers well, making it a solid reference point. I hope others feel the same way about uPlay. Unfortunately, Ubisoft appears to release the games I enjoy so much.
Pedant paused for a second: client isn’t the same as DRM. They’ve started to mean the same thing since Steam games usually need DRM and force the client to run. Galaxy won’t have DRM—you can use the Galaxy client to patch and install, but it’s not necessary to start the game or log in. You might be able to launch the game from Galaxy, though that would be optional.
The game Far Cry 4 lacks an engaging protagonist and a strong narrative. I don’t feel the need to immerse myself in its setting. It’s more about being present and offering assistance if possible. There’s no real motivation to contribute. With Far Cry 3, you’re trapped and your main aim is escape. Pagin Min isn’t a major antagonist—he can be harsh, but not overly villainous. Overall, the series doesn’t bring anything new; it simply replicates what came before with limited impact.
