Great game, I love it. A bit like StarCitizen, a bit like Fallout and a lot unique.

Ran 1-day on Linux, yet has issues with the by the time actual nvidia-535 driver that needs to be downgraded to 525 or 530-beta. Still then there are issues with a low framerate, waiting for nvidia to fix the driver. Game is still playable for me with 15 - 35 fps.

The real monkey island feeling so far. Runs ootb on SteamDeck

Game runs ootb on Linux and the SteamDeck (15 Watts @ 30 fps for the best battery setting). Seems to suffer from shadow issues tho, especially on sunset. Either a thing with AO or lightmaps. Story looks intresting so far, one of the few games I know that combines fantasy with scifi and I like both. Characters are rough as I am used to it by PB. As a computer game software from my home area, I of course have to support them. :)

They again hit the real RPG experience and I will update my review when I have played more.

Pretty cool game and just my thing. I am an old fan of the X-Files and the moment you enter the building in the beginning, reading Federal Bureau of Control, I was remembered of that. Wont spoil much more but the story, music and environment are worth it.
What bugs me a bit is the console-like fights in a pretty linear progressing story. Two times I got stuck in fights, lacking the skill to beat the boss and continue the story. Thats a gamestopper at times and brings you out of the captivating story, turning you effectively against the game not wanting to play it anymore.

Runs perfect on Linux. I tested the wrong way with FSR for the video (wrong resolutions), but I did it later again the right way: in quality mode on the Vega it runs at 55 fps @1080p and at 45 fps @1440p. Settings all maxed out.

Very cool and addictive game. Its about constructing a Dyson Sphere in a solar system. Those spheres were postulated once by an engineer to being the ultimate source of energy within a solar system. Astronomically finding one would be an evidence for an advanced civilization. Since a perfect sphere would block all sunlight, you could only find one by looking for IR emissions.
Game is pretty chill with good and simple graphics. Runs well on my laptop with a 1650 Max-Q in 2k with 45 fps. The game is about finding the right tact for your production and fully automatize it.

Runs OOTB on Linux.

Runs ootb on Linux, yet still in Early Access and native version is missing.

Runs with VKD3D and DXVK. Tho fps is better with DXVK. For DXVK launch the game with %command% -dx11

Update: the latest content update still lets the game run good. About 45 - 60 fps on high settings on 1080p.

This game sets a new standard for computer games !!

Runs awesome on Linux and Proton 5.13-4 and mesa-git (21.0-devel).

Fallout 76 is a game that made me wonder a bit. It was released about the time, I came back to gaming after a ten year break and I played it from day 0 on. I liked it very much, yet it got a lot of hate and flaming from all kind of different sides. Most people, who hated tho, havent played even a single minute.

Granted the engine is fo4 warmed up and there is nothing innovative here, but tho its old its still good. The combat system, aiming, shooting and fighting is as dirty as in fo4 and no thing for people, who like fine adjustments to the weapon physics like in Rainbow six or Counterstrike. Yet what was good from the start, was the survival aspect. Now they prolly made the start into the game easier, especially since the Wastelanders upgrade there are people greeting you and gearing you up, but back then you were thrown into a lonely World with not much of a starting gear. Thirst and hunger were constantly lurking on your way to getting set up and other players. It has a good survival feel to it in the beginning and the atmosphere and detailed and complex World made you nervous and look behind every tree.

Later on the survival part gets lost, I am pretty geared up and found my rythm. You need your spots to grind for necessary materials like ammunition, but you can earn it trough combat as well. You can of course increase the difficulty level for the survival aspect again when you join a server or join a more pvp-oriented world. No need for a new character.

The quests hold some very good suprises. Intresting stories to follow with fo-typical macabre and funny twists. With the new Wastelander update and NPCs joining Appalachia I suspect the amount of intresting Quests has increased.

The map is kinda small but holds great detail. You may want to take ur time exploring it. I am level 43 now and am still missing some parts.

I build a small house in the woods as a basecamp to craft ammunition and better weapons and have fortified it against mob attacks. This is a funny part of the game, but nothing I put too much time into.

Often people complained about the map being deserted, what is true for certain areas, but I actually like that and think it creates a lot of tension and supense. The World is very colorful and detailed and often its hard to spot a hidden mob or player sitting in the trees. Running around in the woods, being killed by a deathclaw two seconds later you havent seen coming, is very exciting.

The game takes time and it is extensive to build up your gear on higher levels, you will need more and more rare materials. Yet its pretty chill and made for casual gamers. You can solo play this game too without problems.

Before the Wastelander upgrades there were no human NPCS (only robots) which was kinda funny. Cause with every remnants of a extinct group of people you stumbled upon, starting a quest, you always knew how it ended: they all died out. Yet you never knew how and with some quests there were some intresting twists. That should evolved now tho, cause you have human NPCs now. But they kept the old quests too.

So for fo lovers its a must-play in my eyes, at least you have to check it out to form an opinion.

Atm it runs pretty flawless on Linux. I use Proton-5.6 GE2 by glorious eggroll together with aco and have a constant frame-capped 60 fps normal gaming experience. The engine tho had some issues in the beginning and probably still can have. I had lots of issues with mouse capture and you have to disable the xboxdrv (systemctl stop xboxdrv), if you have that on due to Warframe.
So far tho, with the lagtest update, its running flawless.

Awesome, Awesome, Aweseome!!!

OOTB experience on Linux !
Ryzen 9 3900X, Vega 64
Manjaro Budgie on kernel 5.5 xanmod
Mesa 19.3.5
HTC Vive
Proton 5.0-5, aco enabled

Great space survival game in development. What these guys here are doing better than similiar games, they get the player from the start. You do start with an ongoing tutorial that helps you build stuff up, step by step. You will start in space and fly your way down to the planets surface and then when the game really starts, you begin with nothing and have to build everything up.
Pretty neat and I strongly recommend it for fans of survival and construction games. The survival aspect is pretty chill as well.

Runs out of the box on Linux. Had some minor graphics glitches on mesa-20 devel but on amdgpu-pro it runs like a charm with proton.
