Game modes:Single player
Story:In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Show more

I remember first time that I've played BnW2, my friend's dad bought the Collectors Edition and we played it for the whole weekend. To this day I remember that I couldn't put a leash on my creature because I skipped the tutorial, this game taught me to never skip the tutorials.
It was funny, quirky and looking back at it now, not very hard (especially compared to BnW 1) but it was ton of fun. As I've completed BnW2 many many times, I went through Impress, Army and mixed way of achieving victory and I've got to say, most of the time I used army only for defence to focus on city building but watching my creature fight alongside bows and swords was a sight to behold too.
This game awakened the love for RTS, city-builders and management games in me, I vividly remember being proud of myself for designing a working city that could govern itself without any issues.
It had a lot of flaws such as AI doing weird stuff, creature locking itself between buildings etc. but it was all overshadowed by the graphics, miracles, easter eggs and hidden mechanics (looking at you immortal man), marvelous voice acting and OST.
Sadly, due to the Lionhead studios being first bought and then closed, there are issues with intellectual property and rights to the franshise which saddens me deeply. It's sad that we probably will never see a Black andWhite 3 or a Remaster of the originals but to big corporations 'It's just a game, forgotten and shelved for eternity'. For many of us this game is a treasured memory, a medium that allowed us to have mighty ton of fun or even introduction to management and god-sim games. For me it's not a game, it's a part of my journey growing up, that still holds up even to this day.
This alongside its expansion "Battle Of The Gods' would be such a great addition to the GOG library. Sure it runs on modern systems with excellent and reliable community patches, but I believe its time to have the game back on an official storefront with a simple to use installer file.
Oh, the glorious days of picking faithful believers and then throwing them into the mountainside. It was so fun...
That and raising the familiar. Teaching it what it should and should not do was a nice thing... And then watching it wreck havoc on the people... and the enemies.
Aah, fun times.
This was probably my favorite game growing up. Build up a city, train your pet, stop it from eating your villagers ... or poop. Send them to build or fight, throw things and spells at enemies just outside your area of influence. Hilarious, if sometimes frustrating side-quests. An absolute gem.
black and white 1 and 2 should be in a bundle, as so good and important and impossible to play games, as they have really bad drm. Like black and white one 2 of my favourite games ever, used to play for hours.
I remember playing this nonstop in my younger years. Me and my older brothers still speak of this game fondly to this day, both this and B&W1. True gems and I would die for it to return.
So many memories of when I was little, I tried to play it lately but without cd and on gog to last forever would be so much better!! Lionheart was one of the most innovative studio! love it!
i hope game have my language (Thai) like the old time , and i cant find DVD this game in country and my game with my language after EA failed to promote in thailand on 2005 time last game have my language this RedAlert 3 Uprising Hope Have a New Patch for Windows 11
Such an amazing game I love it so much. Noting but good feels playing this, great vibes that bring childhood memories flooding back. I would love the chance to play it again.
Continuation of another stellar game from the early 2000s. This game is not like your ordinary RTS, you have to "grow" and "train" your pet to either be a peacekeeper, a protector and your "voice" among people on Earth, or teach it to kill and it will become the most devastating weapon of war ever known! This dynamic between not being able to "directly" influence your civilization is what made me appreciate the game.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Limited EditionThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the first Zelda game for the Nintendo GameCube and also the first in the series to employ cel-shading, a lighting and texturing technique that results in the game having a cartoon-like appearance. Like its predecessors, The Wind Waker is an action game with puzzle-solving and light role-playing elements. Basic gameplay mechanics are similar to those found in Ocarina of Time, but it differentiates itself with its massive Great Sea which must be explored using a boat named King of Red Lions.
The limited edition of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker includes the game itself and a second disk containing:
- Ocarina of Time
- Ocarina of Time Master QuestAction Fantasy

Fallout: Brotherhood of SteelAs a spinoff, Brotherhood of Steel's gameplay greatly differs from that of other Fallout games. The gameplay is linear, not open-world. Instead of being able to travel freely across a broad world full of places and events as in other Fallout games, the player is confined to one location at a time. Previously visited locations cannot be visited again, and new locations can only be discovered by advancing the story. There are 50 distinct zones of varying size in Brotherhood of Steel.
Brotherhood of Steel uses many of the same mechanics as other entries in the Fallout series, including the SPECIAL (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, Luck) attribute assignment system. These seven attributes are assigned numeric values and govern most interactions in the game. Unlike other Fallout games, however, the values are constant for each character rather than customizable.
Skills exist in this game, but they do not behave like skills in other Fallout games. Rather, they are analogous to perks. When the player levels up, they receive "skill points" to increase the power of skills. Some skills also have level restrictions.Action Comedy Science fiction
