ProtonDB released another data dump, here's a quick look over some February 2019 info

I' ve reported the games i tried, but now i don't have any more game i want to try on Proton, so i don't report anything. I mainly have native Linux games, and overtime, my library went from "Windows only" to "Some Linux" when i was dual booting, to "99% Linux only" since a stopped dual booting about 5 years ago.

Maybe it's the same for many others ? That's a part of why the reports are going down over time.

The beat 'em up 'Streets of Red: Devil's Dare Deluxe' is out with Linux support and it's good

It's a nice game, probably too simplistic, but i like the settings.

What i dislike however, the combats. Real time, grid base.

There is an active pause, but only for the lowest difficulty level.

I really can't get into grid based game that are not turn based. Combats always feel stupid, and even with cooldown on attacks, there is almost no depth to them.

About translation, it may be true about Linux, but it's basically the exact same for anything. For being in some translation teams from time to time, for indi games, it's the same.

Open an account, wait for approval, figure out how it work, submit, wait again, etc. Sometime you cannot translate and test, you have to translate without any option to see ingame if it makes sense. So again, wait for the dev to update the game, try and see that in context it doesn't fit well, or the sentence is too long for the GUI (often the case from english to french). Sometimes it's easy, a simple table with columns for different languages. Sometimes it's shared on internet. But sometime it's an online database, slow to process, heavy, not suitable for people without any tech profile. And i've seen several projects at 99,99% done, just because one line was removed/added without notice.

It's interesting to see %Linux per country.

It seems France has more %Linux than others with 3,18%, while USA has 1,14%, and China has 0,16%.

Quoting: scaineMaybe you should try Fall of the Dungeon Guardians. Great game, lovely visuals, really tactical and difficult fights but with a pause-at-any-time mechanic. I think you can even set it up to a full pause-after-each-round if you like. I think... been a while I played.
Yep, i liked that one. I helped testing it, and suggested the near-turn-based option, as well as the less combats more XP approach, to avoid fighting too many meaningless enemies, and boredom.

Usually i don't like animal-human characters, and i don't like text-adventure video games (but love the book where you are the heroe), but the setting is intriguing, and i'm curious to see the full game experience.

I'd probably love to love this game, but the real time killed my will. I disliked the Grimrocks for the same reason. For me, this kind of games (RPG grid based crawlers) "must" be turn based. The last one to actually pleased me was Starcrawlers, who did many things "well" (but failed to provide a "less combat, more xp" option).

What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

Hi,

I've been playing/testing/reviewing many games like always. The more or less recently (2019), i think :

- Wayward, the great survival and crafting game
- AI War 2, still in beta but well worth my time
- Loria, the heavily Warcraft inspired RTS
- WH40K Gladius, a nice wargame 4X
- The Mean Greens, a FPS with toy soldiers
- Shotgun Farmers, another FPS with silly idea of guns growing out of ammo
- Odd Realm, a real potentially Dwarf Fortress cousin, with z levels too
- Interstellar Marines, FPS with an amazing feel
- Dwarf Fortress, i come back to it every few months or years, always great
- Kaiju Big Battel Fighto Fantasy, a weird but cool turn based JRPG with kaiju
- Vintage Story, a Minecraft-like that i much prefer to its model

and too many others... I usually don't play one game to its end, but i jump between easily 20 games over a few weeks, and i keep coming back to them from now and then. So, i play some games since last millenium, even if only a few days per year.

On Steam alone, based on the sorted list "This month", it's about 65 games i've launch, but many of them only a few minutes to test an update or check something.
