Quoting: articleAgatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The First Cases

• Deck Rating: steam deck verified Not Rated


• ProtonDB: not enough reports (but should work fine)

I can confirm it works with Proton (I will also add a report on ProtonDB, thank you Liam for reminding me !)

EDIT: my bad, I was thinking about Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders, not this one (The First Cases)

Quoting: Philadelphus

Quoting: ShmerlGood to see AMD GPUs usage finally almost catching up to Nvidia! In a few months it will probably get ahead :)

Wow. I'll probably be adding to the AMD-swing sometime next year when I see about upgrading my (by then ~4 year-old) GPU.

I also wonder how (if) the Intel market share is going to be changing in the near future with their new GPUs.

Same here, I will (finally !) upgrade to a 6700XT in a few weeks :wub:

If you have a problem with no sound playing, try using Proton experimental, it solved the issue for me

Quoting: GuestWindows only, shame... When i saw the trailer it looked like a nice game.

Why is it a shame?

Are you asking that because you don't know the person's answer or because you do know and you're waiting for their reply so you can give them a hard time?
Proton is great, but I don't think there's any point to razzing people for preferring Linux native.

The reality is, Proton is a perfectly viable option for Linux gamers that, in many cases, gives native-like performance and grants access to hundreds of games we would otherwise never get to play on our operating system of choice. It's also a reality that even if every single Linux gamer boycotted every game that didn't offer native Linux support, it would not compel a single developer to suddenly produce a Linux version to take advantage of what is, by all accounts, a negligible sliver of the market. I wish it weren't it so, but those are the facts.

So, in the end, refusing to buy a promising game because it can only be played in Proton reminds me of the adage about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Refusing to buy a game that doesn't run natively on your OS of choice is perfectly legitimate, and maybe we GNU+Linux users shouldn't be so damn quick to buy Windows games.

Maybe if Valve only gave the "verified" tag to GNU+Linux native games (that run flawlessly), developers would have more incentive to actually port games to our OS and ultimately support them.

You can be sure that if only native games can get the "Verified" status, and windows-only game could be "Playable" at best, we would see a drastic increase in Native versions :wink:

Or maybe that's Valve's long-term plan ? Once a lot of games reach the "Verified" status, change the rules so that they will "lose" that precious badge if they don't go Native... Evil, but perfect :grin:

I seriously doubt that.

Come one, you're no fun ! :grin:

I tried the demo, it is a bit messy (not really clear on what is doing what), but there are some good ideas.
Part of the gameplay reminds me of Dicey Dungeon (re-rolling dices until you get that ONE value, anyone ? :whistle: )

This was in my wishlist for a while, so when I knew about the Native version, I knew it would be insta-buy on release :smile:

Can't wait to play this with friends !

Not that bad, for a game that started kinda like a joke... Maybe I'll give it another try, at least this one is Native
