I’d like to test my PC a bit It must also run on Linux, either natively or through proton
Art style, graphical fidelity, or both? Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the best looking game to test your PC right now.
Graphical fidelity. A good art style is a plus too
Cyberpunk is good. Good game, great graphics.
Red Dead Redemption 2 also has high fidelity.
I don’t know if it’s Linux compatible but Elite Dangerous is absolutely beautiful and really sets a strong tone.
Have been playing it on linux since Horizons came out.
Don’t know if it’s top notch graphics, but it’s pretty. Audio design is sublime.
The “ocean wide, one foot deep” thing is true. It’s grindy and gets boring after a while, but it’s still worth it. If you are a “chill” gamer, exploration and mining don’t need grinding and shallowness doesn’t affect them so much.
Alan Wake 2 legit blurs the line when presenting a character; between film footage and digitizing the actor. Even the games environments blend in photographed and filmed objects. It’s a masterpiece of a game, with beautiful graphics, and a fun and bonkers story.
I should be playable from Epic Games Store via Lutris or similar. Or from sailing the high seas.
Nah, I’m not going to deal with pirating it or the epic games store
AW2 is DRM-free. I imagine it can be run completely independent of Epic. You’d need the store to purchase and download it but you could probably even uninstall the Epic app afterwards. I haven’t tested this though, so please don’t just take my word for it.
I’ll sail the high seas
