Against all expectations, a certain game is available again on the GOG platform and we are talking about a true classic. When in doubt, it is best not to let this opportunity pass you by.
Normally, we come to talk to you about GOG because there is a free game to collect. The CD Projekt Red store is full of small offers in this style, and we always take care of keeping you informed. But today, we are not here for that. In fact, a game has returned to the platform, to everyone’s surprise. For good reason, it had been years since he disappeared, and he was missed by many people. At the same time, it’s a really popular title that was created by an iconic studio.
Alpha Protocol is back on GOG
The game in question is Alpha Protocol, released in 2010. In 2019, we learned of its disappearance from several online stores, including Steam. Sega spoke on the subject, and explained that it had not lost the license. The problem was with the rights to the music which had expired. And yet, despite that, it’s officially back on GOG, in a “new” version including achievements, a licensed OST and modernized controls. For information, only this store is concerned at the time of writing these lines.
But why are we making such a big deal about this title? The reason is simple: it is excellent. It’s an RPG that immerses us in a world of espionage worthy of the greatest of the genre. We play Michael Thorton, a government agent who will find himself in a terrible situation following the failure of a mission. To prevent a large-scale catastrophe, he will have to act. The future of the entire world rests in your hands, and be careful, your choices have real importance, from the start of the adventure. Are you going to try to take on the challenge?
If you are not convinced by this little pitch, know that this game comes to us from Obsidian Entertainment. We normally no longer need to present this exceptional studio, but if in doubt, let’s give a reminder. We owe him, among other things, Fallout New Vegas. So, is it necessary to cite another one? Joking aside, he was also the one who put together The Outer Wolds and Grounded. It’s an innovative company, and one that constantly seeks to surprise players with a gripping narrative. Alpha Protocol is no exception to the rule, and it is therefore a pleasure to see it again on GOG.
