Quoting: MrNilssonIf you're up you can tell me some must plays on Linux. Doesn't have to be only point-and-click adventures.

Doesn't have to be, but will be for my list, lol!

...

Thanks for your list. I knew a few games already but I didn't play any of it yet. SOMA was already on my Steam Wishlist :D Thanks for the recommendations.

Quoting: soulsourceI'm still sad that the English translation "Longstockings" has such a cumbersome word-melody. As an Austrian I grew up with the German version, "Langstrumpf", which is pretty close to the Swedish original "Långstrump", both having a much smoother sound to them.
...

If you want something still funny, but more serious, have a look at The Whispered World.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I'm German. I don't like the "Longstockings" either, it doesn't feel right. Thanks for the game recommendation.

Quoting: soulsourceI had the same experience with the Dutch translation, which is "Langkous". Which has a very different sound to the second half, but it's still a two syllable word which flows nicely. (note that the ou sounds close to the o in "now")

There are tons of point and clicks that made it onto Linux. I'm now playing the new "Irony Curtain" one, which is fantastic. Also don't forget that there is a remaster of the classic "Day of the Tentancle". There's also a remaster of the old Full Throttle, but that one didn't really appeal to me.

As for this game, it doesn't really look like it is the best one, but for the price I may actually give it a go.

I like the Dutch translation. I put a lot of classics on my wishlist on GOG now, thanks for the other game recommendations.

Btw Demetrios is fun so far. But you have to like the type of humor in this game.

Quoting: MrNilssonI haven't played a point-and-click adventure for ages. I'll give it a try. It's also the first Linux game I've ordered on GOG, since I started with Linux two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago, huh? Well, I hope you have a good experience. Any Pippi Longstocking fan is welcome as far as I'm concerned!

Thank you, I'm really happy that I finally tested Linux. The experience is great so far. I still need to learn a lot but it's pretty easy to find help online, like forums, wiki entries, blogs or other help. Right now I'm switching between Mint Cinammon and Manjaro (KDE). I think one of them would replace Windows 10.

Btw I loved the Astrid Lindgren books and movies as a kid.

Just by reading the article, I'd wager there are better candidates worthy of your attention :-). P&C Adventures had a pretty fruitful phase over the past couple years, and more hot stuff in the pipeline.

Quoting: EikeINHO, sorry to the devs, there are lots of better alteratives if you don't fancy a... simple humour. If you tell about your preferences, I'm sure we'll find recommendations.

Well I think the last one I played was Grim Fandango or a Leisure Suit Larry game. The last few years I just played the Counter Strike games, Rainbow Six Siege and some Fortnite on the PC and sport & adventure games on the PS4. If you're up you can tell me some must plays on Linux. Doesn't have to be only point-and-click adventures. But it would be nice if the games were native Linux games. I just want to explore Linux games at the moment as I'm new to Linux.
