Story:Sonic and company are back and better than ever in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for Nintendo GameCube. Dr. Eggman is up to his old tricks, and it's up to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to stop him yet again. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle features faster action, all-new two-player games, and a branching storyline that lets you choose to save the world as the Hero side, or conquer it as the Dark side. Two new playable characters enter the Sonic universe -- a mysterious dark hedgehog called Shadow, and a jewel-thieving bat named Rouge. In the single-player mode, you'll go through more than 30 unique stages, which include everything from a forgotten pyramid, an abandoned military base, and a giant space station. Then there's the expanded two-player mode, which features 12 playable characters competing in new head-to-head games. All of this adds up to Sonic's biggest adventure yet!Show more

This is my favorite Sonic game, it's a great part of my childhood. I play this game at least two times every year. The introduction of the new two characters were awesome and the interaction between them through the game, also the Chao Garden it's awesome, you can take care of your Chao and rise it into a great and healthy Chao.

Genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. Incredible soundtrack, Chao garden is awesome, levels are extremely fun. One of the main issues i have with it though is my steam copy on PC cannot be launched on my Asus Rog Ally X without massive amounts of tweaking, even then it might fail. It's in dire need of a compatibility upgrade.
A Dreamcast classic with high replay value, lots of things to like about the game, the Chao Garden, a Sountrack filled with great music from across the musical spectrum and (mostly) levels that offer a lot of replay value. Plus, Shadow the Hedgehog was introduced in this game and became my instant favourite character in the series with how he was portrayed in this game from start to finish. As for why GOG? The game already got a release on PC back in 2012, however that release is slowly falling to the annals of time, having this game be immortalized with support for years to come would be great.

Easily one of my favorite Sonic games. I remembered playing it on Sega Dreamcast. I later got to play it on GameCube and Xbox 360. Considering it's a direct sequel to Sonic Adventure wow!!! In many aspects surpasses it to a degree. The newer version you could buy DLC that adds stuff from the updated GameCube port in. You get a lot of Sonic characters to play as. More true in the multiplayer with a few match types. The soundtrack with the sound effects absolutely amazing!!! Some truly fantastic 3D levels you can replay the hell out of. There's plenty of great unlockables. Chao World almost felt like it's own unique experience. A nice break from everything else to raise some Chao. Sonic Adventure 2 greatly expended on most game play styles of Sonic Adventure 1. I always enjoyed Sonic Adventure series a lot. It was the debut of my favorite Sonic character. Shadow the Hedgehog was such a great character in this. Sonic 3 movie heavily based on this game. Look how well that was going at the box office. I do think a lot of Sega fans be deeply overjoyed if Sonic Adventure 2 came to GOG. This is so packed with content you'll be playing for months straight it's that good!!!
I have never played SA2B. I just think the PC Port needs some fixes and enhancements, lol. Until then, let's get some more votes in so people can recognize such a beloved game!

I grew up with the Gamecube back in the 2000s, I loved the story, Chao Gardens, hell even trying to get S rank for the secret levels. if this was added to the Gog list i'd be content with the outcome. if not well I've got enough copies (physical and digital) to back up my childhood.

Truly the greatest Sonic game of all time with its physics focus, chaotic array of different modes and downtime caring for my chao. I have played so much of this game, shared so much time in it with my sister and even taken to speedrunning it. I would love to see it preserved for the future.

First game to ever introduce me to Sonic the Hedgehog. It is my favorite 3D sonic game of all time. Amazing soundtrack, levels have enthralled great high-speed action, the story is cheesy and awesome simultaneously, and it is overall a great time. This game needs to be updated with modern hardware so that it doesn't get lost in the sands of time. It needs a complete remake, with modern cinematics, redubbing that matches what the characters are saying, and remaking the levels without any glitches.
i killed so many hours in this game simply messing about in the chao gardens, repeating certain levels farming for dragons and turning my chaos into absolute machines winning every single challenge. this game is a treasure

A classic game with a ruined reputation thanks to bad ports that introduced bugs never present in the original game. I trust GOG would be able to fix up the currently-existing PC ports and get these games in a ready-to-enjoy state!

Until Dawn
Until DawnUntil Dawn is an interactive drama survival horror video game. It was originally scheduled to be released on the PlayStation 3 and feature PlayStation Move support, but in August 2014, the game was reintroduced as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Until Dawn is designed to be played multiple times, as players will miss out on quite a bit of content with a single playthrough. Each will last about nine hours in length and the game mechanics utilize a new in-game system called the "Butterfly Effect" in which any choice of action by the player may cause unforeseen consequences later on. For example, locating a weapon in an earlier chapter may allow the player to pick it up down the line when a chase scene leads back to the same room. Throughout the game, players will make difficult decisions during ethical or moral dilemmas, such as sacrificing one character to save another. The Butterfly Effect system blurs the line between right and wrong decisions and it is possible for players to keep all eight characters alive as well as having all eight of them die, allowing for many different paths and scenarios as well as offering several different endings. Until Dawn has a strict auto-save system to prevent players from reloading a previous save file to an earlier point in the game if they regret an in-game decision they have made. The only way to change the player's choice is to restart the game from the beginning or continue to the end and start a new game. In a developer interview, it has been said that Until Dawn has "hundreds of endings". Different endings have different variations depending on the combination of characters alive at the end of the game. The gameplay is focused on exploration, quick-time events and discovering clues as well as making decisions. There is an in-game system that will keep track of all of the clues and secrets players have discovered in total, even if there are multiple playthroughs; these clues will allow the player to piece together the mysteries of Blackwood. In terms of the gameplay mechanics and theme, Until Dawn has been noted to be similar to Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. Until Dawn was met with a positive critical response upon release, with praise directed at the visuals, choice mechanic, horror elements, music, voice acting and gameplay design. Most of the criticism the game drew was concerning the story, mostly the second half, camera angles, character movements and partially linear plot.
