I can finish DOTT without looking up anything (fucking love it), but I'm afraid I'll spend my time looking solutions up because I'm stuck all the time.
In my humble opinion: If you solved DOTT on your own, you're ready for every modern adventure game.

Trese Brothers, I played most of their games and I always admired the depth of mechanics they had. It was breathtaking sometimes. I tried Cyber Knights during beta on Steam Deck. Will try it again now when it's finally out :-)
This makes me afraid, to be honest. :grin: I wouldn't like it more complex than XCOM 2.

My son was a "forced" Linux user for years, always planning/threatening to buy his own copy of Windows to spite me, until eventually he got a Windows laptop for work... He is now a sworn Linux supporter, lol.


Could you refrain from saying the never getting old "I told you, son."? :grin:

I'm playing EXAPUNKS for a long time already, trying to beat every puzzle at least as good as the 10th percentile, and the current one mayyybe at 1%. (I think it's the fifth bonus level.)

I'd be surprised if that had huge effects. I see it more as one puzzle piece among many.

Also going to be available on gog, though the page there doesn't indicate a linux version yet.

Not to be confused with Forsaken Quarted, which, um, lies in a different "classic" genre.
The only(!) Google hit for "Forsaken Quarted" is this very page...
