Patiently waiting for the final release before playing this. I bought it around Xmas, along with a couple other promising EA titles that I'm holding off on.

15-30 minutes? Now there's a brief bite of a game.

Beyond Blue [External Link] is due in June for World Oceans Week, and while Spiritfarer [External Link] and Book of Travels [External Link] don't have definite dates I can't imagine either being all that much behind it.

And don't forget that Imposter Factory [External Link] and Chained Echoes [External Link] are both due by the end of the year as well.

Quoting: NezchanI don't mind the Play Next thing because honestly I don't pay that much attention to my home page anyway. But is there a way to remove specific games from it? I'm seeing stuff I finished and don't intend to return to, like The Whispered World, and stuff that I can't get to work on my system, like Shadowrun Hong Kong. It'd be more useful without that clutter.

Right click on the game => manage => hide this game

Don't.

I just installed it to test and it still just works for me, so you should be able to make it work.
I did remember I had fun with it. I didn't remember it was 60 hours of it. :whistle:

It works just fine for you. It also worked just fine for me (well, the other two games did) on different hardware.

Quoting: Linas

Quoting: NezchanI'd rather not have to resort to Proton for a supposedly native game, but I may have no choice in the long run.

Have you tried Linux Runtime as a compatibility tool that you can select the same place as Proton?

Hell, I don't even understand what that sentence means!

Did you try forcing Proton? It's native version doesn't work for me either, but the Windows-version works just fine with Proton.

I haven't. It's weird, my old system (which was a pretty old system when I replaced it) did run the first two games no problem. On my new one, none of the three work at all.

I'd rather not have to resort to Proton for a supposedly native game, but I may have no choice in the long run. That said, the problem still stands in that I have games that simply don't work or are broken in some way (controls, visuals, constant rolling in X3, etc.) and stuff I never intend to play or replay for whatever reason I'd like to clear out of my "Play Next" shelf.

Huh. This looks genuinely fun.

Quoting: no_information_hereI like low-poly games when done well. But, yeah, maybe they should have left the faces blank like in AER.

That's another side to it. I'm not entirely sure this is low-poly done well. The environments look expansive, but empty and therefore kind of lifeless. Creatures aren't too bad, but they look a bit generic at this point. If you're going to simplify your creatures, you want them to be really easy to read, and I wouldn't say this quite gets there. Not to mention, character animations seem really stiff.

That said, this is Early Access, so maybe improving all that stuff is on the list. I hope so.

Honestly, that may be the most bland-looking protagonist I've ever seen. Maybe the story's engaging and gameplay exciting, but the idea of spending a whole game with T-Shirt Boy there turns me off.
