According to Linux YouTuber star Xpander69, who I spoke to and has tested it out, the new G-SYNC Compatible feature will only work with one monitor enabled and the game will have to be in fullscreen. Shame, as that would make it pretty useless for me personally with two monitors I use heavily.

Yeah, that's the case for normal G-SYNC as well. It's an X limitation though. Makes you wonder if Wayland is any better for this. I wonder if Wayland can handle variable refresh rate at all at this time.

Salt and Sanctuary vibe (and therefore Dark Souls vibe) is definitely there. Wishlisted.

I do have to say, it does look rather nice and shiny!

But on casual inspection, it doesn't look out of place. Which is a real risk when doing these things in older games.

So many hours of gaming to go until I'm ready for this one. :D

Quoting: rat2000I can only hope that as a community(of steam users not linux users) we can restrain ourself from buying the game on epic but we all know we will fail miserable on this...

I have no intention of buying a Windows game at or close to full price. Ever. And with the complete disaster that is the Epic Launcher in Wine, it's wouldn't be a fun ride.

Quoting: BeamboomTotally unrelated but:
Seeing screenshots like that, and then looking over at screenshots of our indie games... And... Yeah, well...

You can always distinguish a AAA game screenshot from an indie one by the fact that you can never find that AAA game screenshot in the actual game.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs almost 50% more of the Feral port performance... They should update their port to vulkan.

But these are the less interesting areas. In TR2013 the fps took a dive in the big open areas like Shanty Town. That's where it could really make a difference.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, is it bad that I didn't even know this game was out because I hadn't seen the 'out for Linux'. So here's my question... will this somehow replace Elite: Dangerous for me so I can fly in space in VR under Linux?

Yes! Because that means you haven't paid enough attention to GoL. :D

Having the search (and presumably install) option right there is very nice. The only thing I'm not too fond of is the gnome style top bar (although in this case it's not really a problem either) and the monochrome icons in runner/platform list (which takes away the most important source of recognition).

Still one big feature on my wishlist. The ability to update to newer version of the install script without reinstalling. This is primarily interesting for Wine. I know they have been looking into it, but it's probably very tricky to do. But at least a partial update would do (like just changing wine/dxvk version, reapplying settings and maybe adding some winetricks installs that weren't taken care of by the previous version).

Wait, a bullet hell match 3 shmup? Before even thinking about the Linux version I need some time to contemplate this concept. :O

Quoting: scaineI was looking at this title last week and it's backfired a little for this dev - I ended up splashing £5 on TIS-100 instead. And frankly, while it's a steal at that price, it's mind-bendingly tough, made all the more frustrating when I complete a level, only to discover that @Samsai has completed it with one less node, 3 less instructions and about 100 less cycles.

Goddamit, Samsai!!!

I expect I'll try While True:Learn() at some point though.

That's not necessarily and less instructions and less cycles. They could be three separate solutions. It gets harder. Way harder. But so worth it! :D

What is the difficulty level of this game compared to the Zach games? While I enjoy something simpler from time to time (I went through HRM as well), I prefer to frustrate myself with Zachtronics complexity. ^_^
