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.

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.

Just had a play of it on tablet, and I'm hoping they don't keep that in-app purchase for additional civilizations stuff. I get that the tablet version is free and that's how they make their money, but I'd like to see them switch to a pay-up-front model on Steam, where you just unlock everything by playing. Alternately, you get most of the civs and have the option to buy the special ones as DLC or something like that.

Oh, I've got this on my iPad. Haven't played a great deal of it, but what I have played is quite enjoyable. Might get this version for the desktop, since it fills a low-overhead 4x niche that I'd like filled.

It looks fun. But it also looks like they're trying to do everything at once in a sort of No Man's Sky at release kind of way. Hopefully they can pull it off but I'm gonna be cautious.
