The end of the year is here, so it's time for folks like us to create impossible lists ranking the hundreds of games worthy of attention this year. Thankfully, all you readers have to do is figure out what games you missed in 2017 and buy them at a significant discount. GOG is back again with their annual GOG Winter Sale, including a new crop of GOG Connect titles, a free giveaway, mystery game grab bags, and all the discounts you could possibly want.
First, the fun stuff you can get for free. Everyone who visits during the GOG Winter Sale has the chance to pick up a free copy of Grim Fandango: Remastered. This classic LucasArts adventure game was scored an 8.5/10 upon release by our reviewer, standing up to the test of time and well worth the low price of Free.
