Heroic is an open-source games launcher for Linux, Windows, and macOS that lets users install and play games from the Epic Games Store, GOG, and Amazon Prime Gaming. It is built with Electron, React, and TypeScript, and integrates compatibility tools like Wine, Proton-GE, and CrossOver for running Windows games on Linux and macOS.
Use cases

- install gog games without gog galaxy
- play amazon prime gaming titles on mac
- run windows games on linux with proton
- manage game library across multiple stores

When to choose
- you want a lightweight, privacy-focused alternative to official store launchers

- you use a Steam Deck and want access to Epic, GOG, or Amazon libraries

When to avoid

- you require deep mod-management features built into the launcher
- you want a launcher for games purchased on Steam or other unsupported stores
