I'm not very used to GOG yet, so I'd like to know the community's opinions on the greatest games I can find there but not on Steam.

These are the ones I could come up with so far, besides the old Might and Magic titles.

What else would you people recommend? :)

A lot of the really good games from GOG have been added to Steam, but Steam doesn't necessarily optimize and update their games. Generally speaking, if you want a game that's single-player (e.g. System Shock 2), you're better off getting it from GOG. If you're after the cloud saving and the Steam achievements, however, then go ahead and nab the Steam version.

Back to topic,...

The user ratings on GOG are pretty accurate, and you can read the reviews to see what the strengths/weaknesses of each game are. I strongly suggest you just browse through the entire catalog and see what catches your eye. Except for a few noted exceptions (GOG users will warn you about games like MOO3), it's hard to go wrong with any purchase on GOG. Also, if you want to save a bit more money, wait for your chosen game to go on sale.

Yeah, it makes sense... I would usually prefer steam on many cases because of online content and achievements, but otherwise GOG does have some advantages!
I didn't realize the user reviews were that good, thanks for the heads up!
And of course, just like on Steam, I'd never buy games at full price! xD

I was surprised to see Metal of Honor Warchest on GOG... I thought EA was already a bitch back then. :P

I recently payed No Regret again. When I first played them as a kid my sound card was not compatible and now with all the sound effects the playthrough was worth it.

Strange, I have Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) in my steam account. Maybe they removed it from the store...

Yeah it was on the store but now it has been removed. Also, as far as I know, Indigo Prophecy is some kind of censored version...

I think the real question is: if a game is offered by GOG, why are you considering buying it on Steam?

Because multiplayer servers, achievements and cloud saving? =/

Planescape: Torment still has the best story that I've encountered in a game.
Alpha Centauri is my favourite Civ-like game, and I do love me some Civ.
Freespace 2 stands as the best space sim to date. It also has a great modding community.
Ultima 7 has a really impressive open world, with plenty of well written dialogue.
King of Dragon pass has a rather unique blend of strategy and CRPG elements, and it is really fun.
