The open world pirate RPG Raven’s Cry has been released with day one Linux support.
The game features some impressive AAA quality graphics and it’s an encouraging sign to see these kinds of games released on Linux at the same time as Windows now and also a couple of months before console releases.
Raven’s Cry looks promising in terms of story and setting, featuring historically accurate architecture from the 18th century, a morality system, side-quests and economy system. However, the game does seem to be plagued by the usual release issues with a few bugs here and there along with performance issues.
These issues appear to occur across all platforms and aren't exclusive to Linux. From what I have seen, the game appears to run under Linux but those wanting better performance may want to wait until a patch is released.
I haven’t had a chance to play the game and test it myself, so if anyone who has it wants to share their experiences here, it would be useful for those looking to buy the game. If the bugs are ironed out, I will most likely get the game myself since I’m itching to play an open world RPG with an interesting story.

This is an easy answer. If the customers tests the game they won't have to spend money on QA. ;)
Haven`t played that long yet but, no crashes and ran smooth so far. Playing it on highest graphic options @1920x1080
My specs:
CPU: core i7 3770k
GPU: geforce 670gtx (343.36)
RAM: 32gb ddr3
They really need to do something with the voices though, for some characters they are missing completely and some characters are switching between subtitle and voice acting. I guess they had no time left to record all the conversations :/
The only "real" issue I have is, that speaking of characters seems all the time out of sync, and some characters (who should speak) are speaking some sentences, others they don't (in the same conversation).
Except for that, it's okay to me, and I'd consider it as "could be better" but still "good enough".
As for the bugginess I have no idea how people are willing to lay down $55-60 on any game on launch day let alone the first few months. Must have more money to burn than me or just more optimism.
You are wrong.
In case Raven's Cry.
Publisher: German TopWare
Developer: Polish Reality Pump.
I would love to see more AAA games on GOG. Sadly when you have publishers who can actually call their Steam game that has third party DRM on top of Steam DRM Free I think their answer to you would be "What's the point, it is DRM free already".
if you read forums they explained it few times. god bless people who need to be told explicitly.
game HAS 3rd party DRM, but it is NOT used by default unless user chose so. you don't need registration and activation.
more optimism and we realized that if we did it like people who just wait sales linux will be dismissed as valid target. i, personally don't buy games for games at full price. i buy them at full price to support developer as linux buyer and hope more developers will bring their games
