My GOTY was definitely Metro Exodus. 9/10 game and was fun to play. It wasn't released this year though. Didn't buy any 2025 games personally. All money went into PC upgrades.

I think that in English you can accentuate stuff with Capital Letters. So it is not wrong. English is bit funny in that aspect though i think. I might be wrong though :grin:

Metro Exodus is still planned to release for Linux and macOS

I will probably buy this as well if on Linux. Was already once thinking of it, but was waiting for Linux release.

Is there going to be any ARM version? I think i saw somewhere that this is x86 only.

I played around a lot with different DE's, but XFCE is where i ended up eventually. Maybe two years now already and i still love it. Simple, fast and effective.

Does anyone know that can it do numpad buttons? In Tomb Raider i had a problem where i would have needed to use numpad button to do stuff. It could be that there could be other old games that would benefit from having the numpad there

That would be a great addition to it, i think.

Last Souls game i will play for a while. Demons Souls with RPCS3 60fps, dof and bloom disabled and almost 1440p res. Also testing out how the flask system that is in Dark Souls would work in Demons Souls.

So im using 5 health items only and (recharge) those at warp points. Seems to be working pretty good though you have to grind the health items and that becomes bit tedious. Really hope they put the health flasks in the remake/remaster to reduce grind and make the boss battles more interesting.

5 health flasks max is how these games are best played IMO. You get some really nice boss battles playing that way.

Basically now played Demons, Dark 1-3 in a row. Weirdly enough it does not seem to get that boring. Though i really hated the second one. The one that would actually need the remake.

Finished all bosses in Dark Souls 2. Never want to play it again.
Bought the game for PS3 to test out the movement difference to PC and then im gonna grind it to dust and throw it in toilet.
