Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy now available on GOG

Windows only? All three have linux ports done by Feral, it's what got me into tomb raider initially, i haven't played the other 6 or so older ones. I played all three Feral ports in Gentoo so wouldn't be getting this anyway, but would be cool if GOG provided the linux versions for them

Feral always had kind of problem with releasing on GOG, so I don't expect it. Look at all already released games that had Feral ports, not a single one of them got a Linux version on GOG.

Besides, I'd expect running games through Wine + dxvk / vkd3d-proton to be a better option in the long run, since it will go through Vulkan path, unlike Feral's OpenGL ports (though Feral did start using Vulkan in some of their releases I think before they stopped making Linux ports).

Also, in the long term, Wine compatibility is better maintained against modern Linux stack vs native ports that are stuck with old userspace dependencies. That's just how it is.

Or to put it differently, Linux ABIs used in native games are way less guaranteed to work in the future vs Windows ABIs through Wine.

Most boring trilogy ever. Barely managed to finish the first one, and gave up on finishing the 2nd and the 3rd. Older Tomb Raider games were more fun.

Played the 2013 game via Wine few years ago from start to finish without issues. I had started the second one (it's DRM-Free on Epic) but never finished.

Yet another Instabuy for me, I've long waited to play these games.

My only worry is that my wallet will not survive all these discounts

Very nice! I'll probably need to buy them again now. A little disappointing that the Linux versions aren't included, but I've been running them through Proton anyway because the ports were giving me issues.

It's hard to believe the Rise of the Tomb Raider is almost 10 years old already. It doesn't seem like that long ago that I finished it and then waited excitedly for Shadow to come out.

Edit: They're even on sale right away too! I already owned the 2013 game on GOG, but I got the bundle for the other two.

Shmerl, yea, i figured as much, but would still be nice of them to make the binaries available...but yea, I guess they'd have to support them too which would become more and more painful as time goes on.

I really enjoyed all three of them. Started playing the older ones (with wine) and it didn't really get pulled into them like the 2013+ versions

Memory is fuzzy but looks like the Steam version had Denuvo DRM up until 2021 and then dropped it. Looks like there is also 6 DLC -- does the GOG version include them? Their website is hard to extrapolate & read.

Seems like a great deal, for highly rated games 95% 2013, ,94% 2016, 84% 2018.

Considering how error-free and amazing Proton does, I just wish the WINE-GOG interface was a little less jankie.

Finding workarounds for typically is limited to Steam games due to ProtonDB -- and the fallback Wine AppDB is so ridiculously out of date in comparison ProtonDB. Someone else or ProtonDB may as well cover organizing tips & tricks for those Games and Apps.

Feral holds the copyright to the Linux versions and this is probably GOG making a deal with Square Enix and Square cannot sell the Linux versions since they do not hold the rights to them.

I had no idea that's how it works...Thanks for clarifying.
