I was using Launchbox with 200 games. It was consuming 900MB-1GB ram. Installed Playnite and ram consumption with same game amount goes to 200-300MB. The UI is fluid and the app syncs with all the major game launchers. I have games on Epic, Uplay, Steam, Battlenet, Origin and GOG and everything was synchronized. I also use it as a reminder for games from Humble Bundle that are DRM free (those you have to add manually to playnite). It is a great app. Not only that the option of sorting and filtering the games with installed status helps me manage my storage space and to launch my go to games quicker. See More
I have previously used the free tier of LaunchBox. And while LaunchBox is awesome once you pay for it, it's just too expensive for a game launcher, and I really wanted a big picture mode. So when I searched for alternatives, of course I found Playnite; and ever since I started using it, it became my go to for a game launcher, with big picture mode. My only major issue is that it's Windows only. I would love to see this go to macOS, or better yet Linux. I was really disappointed when I found that it doesn't have a Linux client, which I found when I briefly switched. Yes, there is Steam's Big Picture, but it's not quite as good as Playnite. And again, adding non-Steam games to it is a pain. I didn't have much issue with the grid layout, I feel like, that the small customization that's given in fullscreen Playnite is alright. It's not the best, but it's good enough. Plus, I think that it's just a small nitpick, and I think it can be overshadowed by the numerous amounts of themes avaliable for Playnite. Although keep in mind, that if you want to get them, some of them are uploaded straight to Playnite's Forum's servers, and to download, you need to sign up. Some themes are uploaded elsewhere, like Github tho. Just bare that in mind. See More
Best Launcher Available. Definitely with The $75 dollars. You get what you pay for!!!!. with this you get a lot. Playnite and others can't even come close to competing. Like in Sports apparel You have Nike at the top then way down below you have everyone else. Same with Launchbox Launbox is at the top and a very distant second you have the others See More
Other cheaper or free game launchers do not do what this one is capable or have as detailed of a scraper that Launchbox has. It's not ivery expensive if you consider everything it has and that it is like two pieces of software in one, because it also includes Bigbox, a very enhanced modern way to view and launch all your games.
