I heard about this game (actually called ELEX) recently but hadn't seen
any screenshots.  I was bit disappointed though that from the screenshots
on GOG.com it looks like Gothic with Lasers, rather than the Gothic in
Space that I was thinking of when I first heard of the game.

Well, Gothic with guns I suppose, based on the gameplay trailers. And
jump jets! Although I've never played any Gothic games. Still, something
to look forward to.

GOG Connect makes sense if it gets customers to play more GOG games.
At least the hope is that if you are playing a game from GOG (and
maybe through GOG Galaxy) that you will think of GOG when you next go
to purchase a game. If they keep doing it then they must believe it is
somewhat effective.
