GOG Galaxy is a completely optional program for games purchased on the GOG.com digital platform. The tool allows you to perform operations such as buying, downloading, and installing games, and then launch them. All games available on the GOG.com platform are unprotected, so you can play them offline (without Internet access).

In addition, there is nothing to prevent you from backing up the installation file and placing it on any media (e.g. disc, external hard disk or memory card). An interesting option offered by GOG Galaxy is the ability to restore the game to an earlier version after installing the update.

Some patches can do more harm than good. Occasionally, after uploading them, a given production simply works much worse (animation loses liquidity, and some functionalities are no longer available). In order to protect yourself from such unpleasantness, you can turn off the automatic updates completely.

The program includes a cross-play feature that allows owners of GOG.com and Steam to play together in the same game. The creators of GOG Galaxy have also made sure that the player has access to the online matchmaking, achievements and various statistics related to particular titles. In addition, there couldn't be without social features, such as chat and a list of friends you can invite to play with.

GOG Galaxy has a clear, very clear and ingenious user interface. All digital games in our account are presented in the form of boxes placed on the shelves. It is also worth mentioning that the application also contains a search engine, which turns out to be very useful when we have a large number of games in our collection.
