50% Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Then Baldur's Gate 3, Guild Wars 2, Cocoon, Chants of Senaar.

80% on the steam deck.

I am excited for this. I really enjoyed Gris' visual storytelling and music and apparently I had already wishlisted this game. 😅 It looks perfect for a Steam Deck session.

I don't have anything to add.

Plus one for big tech, on the backs of thousands of developers. Kinda like the Egyptian pyramids... Ah, well, we all die the same.

I'm very excited for this release, but I'm still firmly stuck in the Total Biscuit discipline of never buying into early access. I get that this game is built with that critical feedback loop in mind, and I have full faith in SuperGiant Games delivering a full, finished product. I'm a fan.

But I will have to wait.

As excited as I am to hear this, it's insane to me to think I played The Witcher 3 at 1440p at 55fps with an fx8350 and two R9 380s in Crossfire, ultra settings (Hairworks disabled, of course.) To think a 7900xt would hit 37 fps just for Ray tracing at the same resolution... I mean, I haven't experienced "RTX ON" or whatever, but surely the payoff just isn't there?

I can heartily recommend the entire Trine series. It's a physics puzzle platformer with delightful art, music, voice acting and a fantasy story (and clunky combat) that has kept my wife and friends busy through the years.

Though Trine 1 and 2 had native Linux builds, they did drop that for newer games (and talked about Proton) and they're a small enough studio that I feel it's a reasonable development choice.

I'd rank the game from best to worst in this order: 2, 5, 4, 3, 1.

1 Isn't a bad game, but it's cluny and shows its age.

2 Was amazing, and has tons of content.

3. Tried the 3D thing, and as a consequence it was very short, but it was excellently done.

4. Excellent gameplay, iterative in art and design, weakest story in my opinion, but still very creative.

5 My wife and I are still playing through it. Its strengths are as good as anything that came before and the writing and voice acting are even better somehow. I'll wait to beat the game before I say it's better than Trine 2.

Also, Nine Parchments is a hectic multiplayer game in the same universe I heavily recommend.
