Plus, there's a handful of games you can play via Amazon's Luna
service: "Youtubers Life", "Thymesia", "Baseball Stars 2" and "Tetris
Effect Connected". Don't care for time-limited services (they're gone
after Dec 1), so I'm passing on them all. But they're there if you're
less picky than me.

Thymesia looks like it might be worth a try - Action RPG, looks vaguely >Soulslike. Uses some sort of plague mechanic though which doesn't sound >particularly appealing. I'm not in the mood for a soulslike right now, but again
once Luna is installed you don't have to download the gigabytes of game
just click play and you're off, so low effort to give it a try.

classic NeoGeo game) and "Tetris Effect", and had they been part of
the 'regular' Prime games, I'd have happily grabbed them.
(I would have grabbed "YouTubers Life" and "Thymesia" too, but more grudgingly ;-)
But both the requirement of a secondary client /and/ being
time-limited were... well, maybe calling it 'offensive' might be
overkill, but it was enough to make me not get the games. It just
wasn't worth the aggravation, especially when the backlog is so big
already.
I gave Thymesia a half-hour. It's fine, but unfortunately seems a
much inferior DS with some weird (to me) action-combat. It's
graphics are a bit fuzzy - bad textures I'd guess.
"Dishonored 2" is the acclaimed first-person stealth/action game, of
course; the rest are classic - but still fun! - SNK/NeoGeo arcade
games (shooters and brawlers, mostly).

Dishonoured:2. My it's GoG Galaxy a lovely interface!

I'm not a fan of Galaxy. It's always been the most sluggish of
launchers, although that's probably because I've asked it to handle
not only my GOG library, but my Steam, Epic, UPlay and Origin
libraries as well. It insists on downloading the entire libraries
everytime I launch it and it's just so slow to do so. It's a good
idea, poorly implemented.
So instead, I just use Playnite for the same purpose.
Then I download the games directly from the GOG website, which has the
added benefit of giving me stand-alone installers. Which, after all,
is the biggest advantage of buying on GOG in the first place.
