(With a Linux version or at least works good with Proton) Edit: just bought disco Elysium, going to post updates in the comments when I try it tomorrow. It’s on sale until tomorrow in case anyone is going to purchase it.
the entire King’s Quest franchise
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.
Pretty sure Portal and Portal 2 are playable in Linux.
They are more than just playable. They have native versions, because Valve wants to push gaming on Linux. Both are awesome games! I have already played them.
I also think the smartest thing Valve ever did was add Proton to their Linux platform. They are going to capture about 90% of gamers migrating from Windows to Linux. It’s a lot easier for gamers to use a pre-configured platform than fiddle with Wine settings for each game.
I found Prey to be fantastic.
Just came here to say this. Played it a while back and daaamn it blew my mind, such an awsme, underrated game.
The original BioShock is a masterpiece
Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire is just one of my favorites that I keep coming back to
The longest journey :)
The story in To The Moon absolutely floored me when I played it.
I can’t say as to whether it runs on Linux, but it’s pretty old at this point and was never graphically intense to begin with so should. It’s a pretty short game too, but really is worth the time you’ll spend with it.
I liked the storyline in RDR2 quite a bit
I have a pretty beefy PC so it could work. ProtonDB says it works fine. Also the game is not too expensive, which is nice.
Works fine on Linux, on Radeon 6700 XT, FHD, all maxed out…
Fallout 3, but especially New Vegas have great stories and hundreds of hours of gameplay, and work fenomenally on proton (I mean, they are equally buggy as in other versions). Fallout 4 is good as well, but I have never tested it on linux
I can’t make the radio stations play in New Vegas, under Proton. And I’m a sucker for Fallout playlists, just can’t play without Radio New Vegas. It was a known bug but nobody has a fix.
That’s weird, I don’t have it
Time to shill CrossCode again :)
I think the characters are phenomenally written and the plot is fun and has excellent ups and downs.
I’m sad nobody has mentioned Chrono Trigger…
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 -_-
The only things I save scummed were getting Kim to dance and trying to open that bunker door. No regrets.
understandable, have a nice day
Thanks for the warning. This has been on my wishlist for a while now, and I very likely would have done exactly that.
Just bought it, going to give it a try tomorrow.
uuu you are in for an adventure with so much replayability
and as some other comment said: even “failed” checks lead to interesting outcomes
I’m especially interested in the fact that the game is from a Marxist perspective.
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 ):

I’ve owned this game for years. And I want to love it, but I’ve never been able to make it past the dude hanging in the tree part. Which is basically the very start of the game 😄
just FYI: you can finish the game without ever as much as looking at the body, there even is an achievement for it!
I couldn’t get into it
100% this.
For me I got so immersed in the world and character that it didn’t even occur to me to save scum. This RPG is so good that I actually felt like I was living the story. The only game that ever managed to accomplish that.
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^
My blind playthrough was great, despite or even due to mistakes made. Lost once playing sport so badly it destoyed my self-esteem, but also won a miracle 5% perception roll right at the end (although we scared it away). On my first playthrough I intentionally tried to avoid losing and I played conservatively enough for the game to start bullying me over it, which is great design.
I’m the kind of person who thinks it’s hilarious how fragile the player can be where (esp. because of the class I picked). The cursed chair didn’t get me but it sure made me laugh.
I really liked Bastion.
Ready for the hate but I love Devil May Cry 5’s story. Even if sometimes it was cliche
