Interesting. One of the games it wanted me to play was Serious Sam. Both the First Encounter and the Second in different rooms.

Turns out it doesn't count either if you play them using Fusion.

Quoting: randylThe Cambridge definition, in my opinion, is colored through heavy cultural bias that "style" is connected to and defined by the rich and upper class.
So is the style in this game, I think. While there's a visible date on one of the newspapers in the trailer of 2020, it seems to borrow heavily from an upper-class colonial aesthetic from about the late 1800's.

A "proper desktop release" that's not going to be on Itch? That sucks.

Huh, coincidence to see this and Monster Sanctuary get articles on the same day, since I bought both planning to wait out the rest of the EA period. I did try playing it back early January and at that time it clearly had a lot missing still. Hopefully by July it'll be complete and fun.

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.

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: 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.
