Quoting: 14Hmm, how does it compare with Darkest Dungeon? The reason Darkest Dungeon is not on my wish list is because it looks like more management than I find enjoyable. I have beaten hard games like Dark Souls I, III, and Bloodborne, so I don't always hate a challenge. Darkest Dungeon just sounds more like work than play. (This is coming from an EVE Online player to boot.) To each his own on that regard. Anyway, Vambrace looks very interesting and pretty to look at. I am very interested in reading/watching some reviews and possibly picking it up.

I haven't actually played Darkest Dungeon myself, but watched a lot of it on Twitch. Not sure what you mean by "management", but at it's core it is a turn based combat game. There is a management component as you need to manage you hamlet upgrades and such. There is a strategy component in selecting and using your party for missions. The challenge here is probably mostly related to overcoming the RNG component instead of the type of skill needed to get through From games.

Combat for this game looks heavily inspired by DD. The rest seems different though. It's a bit hard to tell since the trailer is very vague. Will have to see.

That looks pretty cool. Didn't really expect an actual point and click from Artifex Mundi. I suppose the last one already took a big leap towards the traditional P&C games, so maybe this is their way of appealing to a different audience.

Looking at the issues on github, it seems that dxvk is now in a stage that has a lot of fixing things that don't match the undocumented behaviour on windows. Something that Wine has had to deal with as well. Achieving bug for bug compatibility doesn't sound like the most fun thing to do.

There are a few games on Linux that resemble Diablo. Torchlight is the obvious one. Others (like Victor Vran) may have a few notable differences, but I hope Last Epoch will do its own thing as well.

Quoting: witikoInstead of thanking Aspyr Media, they should be rebuked.

And you have inside knowledge that Aspyr could have finished it but decided not to? That it was not maybe Gearbox that only gives them the stuff when they finished so that they only have to hand it over once?

TUNG was fun stuff. If only I had more time! It was in need of a few quality of life improvements though. But it may have gotten those already.

It would be nice if they added a "campaign" with some puzzles to get you started. It looks like the "challenges" may be that thing. Wishlisted.

Quoting: MaathI am trying to understand the problem that Lutris is there to solve. I thought it was the problem of avid Linux gamers being crushed under the weight of their massive digital game libraries, but I am not sure now.

Mostly a launcher/manager of games. And for those that use wine, a manager of various wine builds and features.

Quoting: MaathFirst, does Lutris require a account?

No, the account is optional. With it, you can share your library between the website and the client.

Quoting: MaathSecond, at least one person here mentioned that it cannot automatically import your existing games. I thought this would be the number one most important feature.

It can, it's just not flawless.

Quoting: MaathAlternatively, is there another program that can manage a huge game library, and present a nice interface for selecting a game to play?

There is an article from a few weeks back that mentioned "Gamehub". It doesn't do the integrated Wine management though, so it's less useful for those looking for that.

With regard to time it's kind of unfortunate that they chose to end before easter. Most people will have a long weekend which would have worked nicely for a little project.

The big problem with this game was that it was completely unusable on your own. No way to even practice since you couldn't start anything without a second team. So no reason to hang out on the server for long than to check if anyone was there. Which meant that the chances that you actually found anyone playing were almost zero.

Indie devs should realise that they can't magically get enough players in their game. They should have something entertaining to keep people in the game even if player numbers are low.

It crashed for me, but that was fixed by setting the launch options to "LC_ALL=C %command%". First time that I actually needed to do that.

As Liam already mentioned, heavy on the frames when zoomed out tilted to a very horizontal angle. Still around 35 for me, which I don't really notice too much with GSYNC on.
