Why Need for Speed Heat Needs to Be on GOG — And Why It’s the Second-Best NFS Game Ever
Need for Speed Heat is the ultimate return to form for the iconic franchise — a perfect fusion of daylight racing, nighttime outlaw action, and deep customization. It absolutely deserves a spot on GOG, not just for preservation but for the recognition it has earned as the second-best NFS game ever, right behind whichever fan-favorite you place at number one (Most Wanted 2005 or Underground 2, depending on your camp).
Released in 2019, Heat gave fans what they’d been craving: police pursuits, a huge open-world map, and a solid, offline single-player experience. By separating day and night events — clean street racing by day, illegal reputation-building at night — it added strategic depth rarely seen in arcade racers. The risk-reward system for night racing cranked up the tension, making every escape from the cops a pulse-pounding thrill.
Customization is back in full force, too. From visual tuning to performance upgrades, Heat brings back that Underground-era creativity. And the car list? It’s stacked — featuring everything from JDM legends and supercars to classic muscle.
Putting Need for Speed Heat on GOG would mean a DRM-free, preserved version of a modern masterpiece, free from client restrictions. It respects player freedom — just like the game itself does. It’s stylish, fast, loud, and unapologetically fun. In a world full of live-service racing games, Heat burns brightest — and it belongs in every racer’s GOG library.

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears.
The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts.
Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.Fantasy Science fiction
