Firewatch, not really sure if it’s on Linux but i played at osx so at least multi playform.
The game is mostly about the story, really something else.
Confirmed running on Linux under proton. I started replaying it just the other week. Struggled to get back into it for a second time, but not because it’s a bad game, I’m just a very different person from the one that got a lot from that story. Would absolutely recommend the game.
If you don’t mind horror, I would definitely recommend SOMA. It’s also one of those games where it’s best to go in blind. If you are interested, do yourself a favour and do not look at any spoilers before playing.
Lots to think about.
Oh yes, I have played this. Also Scarlet Hollow, by the same studio, is truly awesome and if you liked Slay the Princess you'll love Scarlet Hollow.
I beat that game in like 15 minutes 😎
I hate slay the.princess actually, I found it to be a really bad game and a mediocre story
Pretty sure Portal and Portal 2 are playable in Linux.
def Disco Elysium
heed this warning though: after Disco, there is no going back; most storytelling might seem subpar or just of low quality afterwards
it's also soul crushing, existentialist and doesn't shy away from critiquing/ridiculing society and what it believes in (from a Marxist pov, though Communism itself isn't spaired either in the game, with a harsh critique only communists could write), but it's also one of the most hopeful games I've ever played at the same time
I would rly recommend a blind play through without cheating through quick saves! (aka. save scumming) A lot of decisions in the game succeed based on the probability of your stats accomplishing it. I made the mistake in my first play through and just forced everything I wanted by reloading over and over again -_-
I've been staring at python for too long. I read your comment like it was a function
def Disco_Elysium():
raise Warning("there is no going back")
this kinda made my morning. Thx ^w^
Just bought it, going to give it a try tomorrow.
Hope you did it on Steam. 75% off so $10
I buy all my games on Steam. It's simply the best, and they support Linux and develop Proton.
Sad story about buying this one, though: https://youtu.be/k7Xu4GvpN9U
Yea, I heard. I tried to pirate it and run it from steam as a non-Steam game, but it didn't work ):
It's a really old game, but Lucas Arts The Dig was really great and directed by spielsberg
Beneath a steel sky https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beneath_a_Steel_Sky
Just saw you got it already - enjoy Disco Elysium!
Some of the best, most enjoyable, games writing I have ever seen. Every character is a treat.
Outer Wilds, if you haven't played already. Obligatory warning to avoid spoilers like your life depends on it, go in completely blind if possible.
I shall read nothing about it
Absolutely seconded btw. Cannot express how good this game is. If I could wipe my memory of any one game and play it fresh it would be this
Okay then, you seem to really love this game. I'll give it a go! It's not to expensive on steam either.
Enjoy it! I still can't get over how good it is. Don't even read the Steam description!
I would prefer to save some money right now, so if you already have it would you be willing to either family sharing thing with me? Please don't feel obligated to do so, as you would have to give me your account password and the 2fa code. Lmk if you want to do this, message me on Matrix at @gregor:gregtech.eu
I'd rather not do that :)
But you can see on SteamDB that it regularly goes on a -40% sale. I'd suggest you just put it on your wishlist and wait to get the email from Steam that it's on sale 🙂. It hasn't had a sale for a while now so probably won't take long.
Understandable, I'll wait for a sale
I found Spec Ops: The Line to be a good story. Starts off as a typical gears of war third person military shooter. I immediately was skeptical since I don't typically like cod like military arcade shooters. Let's just say the story gets dark. Mainly the character development. I saw the reviews and don't regret grabbing it, well worth the play in my opinion.
Since nobody else has said it, Titanfall2. Not a long story, but it's an absolutely fantastic 6 or 7 hours. Usually it's like 5 bucks during a sale.
Witcher 3 has an amazing story and 2 DLCs that feel like entire games themselves. Runs great for me under Linux Mint (Steam / Proton).
If you consider emulating older games a viable option, I would suggest:
Exquisite taste.
Seconding the Zelda rec, Majora's being my favourite as well, with Minish Cap being a close second. (narrative-wise, that is)
Horizon Zero Dawn. I played it to completion via proton, ran great.
Came here to say this. Fantastic storyline, and runs great on Linux.
I've been gaming on Linux exclusively for 3 years now. So. These are all proton-tested-and-approved. Though a couple (especially the old ones) require a bit of tinkering.
If old games & emulation are on the cards --
