I got into rpg relatively late. I still remember a buddy telling me about them and taking the example of Summoner as an example. I was so curious I went to the video game store. Summoner 2 at the time had released and I got it. Though it is very action oriented, I really enjoyed it and it has kept a special place in my heart ever since. I'd give a lot to explore it again on pc. Especially since the worldbuilding of it was pretty crazy. I don't think I've ever seen something quite like it.
It's a hidden gem and I hope more people can discover it.
When I first played Summoner 2 I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. I was new to more action-heavy rpgs and really struggled with the mid/late game portions. But I absolutely loved the characters, world, and story. It's such a unique experience that I think about so often and honestly chase the same feelings the mid-game twist gave me. I still own my PS2 copy but would love nothing more than to have a more accessible way to replay it.
This game. A game spanning world upon worlds, while a great story unfolds with twists and turns as time goes by. Skills, gear, and Summons keep you hooked. Combat isn't super deep, but it doesn't have to be, it's a good time. This is a Myth given form (especially knowing the lore of the original Summoner game.) GOG please consider adding this gem.
This game means a lot to me. I used to play it with a friend that is no longer with us. I usually was the good gamer of the friend group, but for some reason something didn't click for me. My friend on the other hand, was great at it. He was so happy and had the biggest smile on his face when he helped me with a section that i was stuck. I never tried to become better at this game for this reason. Maybe now I will, for him. Miss you buddy.
Summoner 2 is a game that has a really special place in my heart. The original is widely available now but this one is still impossible to find. To this day I haven't found a game that has such a unique and original world with such imagination-inspiring lore. It's hard to put into words but the surreal, dream-like quality of the game and how so much of it is rooted in this idea of dabbling in the realms of the gods gives it this incredible cosmic feeling with a scale few other games can match. Please bring this back!
Great game. I would love to see THQ Nordic give this one a re-release. Not only is it a good follow up to the first Summoner, which is already here on GOG, but it has a lot of cool new characters as well. Maia is a great female protagonist, and her companions are all very fun and colorful. Yago from summoner 1 returns, and the new characters like Sangaril, Prince Neru, and Morbazon all have their own unique personalities and abilities. Morbazon is particularly cool looking. I like the setting of the game quite a bit, it's a unique fantasy setting with original races and cultures like the Munari and Odani which make the game stand out from all the games with D&D, Tolkien, and mythology inspired characters and settings.
This is such a special piece of my childhood. I got so lost into this world when I first played it, wanting to explore every nook and cranny. At the time, I didn't even know it was a sequel as I had played the Gamecube version first, which doesn't have 2 in the title lol I'd love to replay Maia's story once again and get my friends into it as well.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In 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.Top Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
