Playnite Vs GOG galaxy 2.0 front end

MikeKay1976

Hi.
I have been meaning to consolidate all my games into 1 front end for ages. It used to be just playnite but now there is GOG Galaxy 2.0
Has anyone here got experience of both of them,? If so which is best?

Thanks

I have no experience of Playnite, but afaik they are virtually identical.  The latest update of GOG Galaxy introduced the ability to add your own games to the front end (including associated artwork) which works really well.
Both require associated clients (Steam etc) to be installed on the system, Galaxy will open said clients on game launch, but does not close them again afterwards.
Galaxy is also in Beta, and requires an email invitation to join.

I didn't get on with Playnite, and up to now used Launchbox which has been excellent. I've recently downloaded the GOG2 beta and it's been excellent. Like mentioned above it doesn't yet close uplay / steam etc on exit but it's a future enhancement. So far it seems the best although I've loads of retro emulated games and I'm not sure yet how to add them.
