Update: All titles now link directly to store pages.

Hmm, I debate getting Nidhogg. Played it before with the missus, and while I enjoyed it immensely, she became immensely annoyed with me XD (I mean, why would they give you a throw sword button if you're not supposed to use it? :P)

LEGO® Star Wars™ III - The Clone Wars™


wait what! I have it on the Wii (I have most :) ). I have zero issue with rebuying as they are great and the kids love them BUT Lego Incredible is giving me issues so I am reluctant

That is awesome that Dark Souls III made the list. Such a great game. Been playing it a lot recently (>100h), but to be honest, there's a performance issue that sometimes causes the framerate to take a big dip after loading screens and as far as I know it's not been fixed so I'm not sure why it's being white listed.

Am I imagining things or did Jamestown and Reckless Disregard for Gravity already have Linux ports around someplace? Humble, maybe? I'm absolutely certain I've played the latter on Linux at least (and been terrible at it).

Also, good to see Primordia on the list. One of the best adventure games I ever played. Somehow they made the wise-cracking sidekick who by rights should have been the most annoying thing ever somehow acceptable and even genuinely funny. If that's not a gaming miracle, I don't know what is.

Quoting: NezchanAm I imagining things or did Jamestown and Reckless Disregard for Gravity already have Linux ports around someplace? Humble, maybe? I'm absolutely certain I've played the latter on Linux at least (and been terrible at it).

Jamestown at least had a Linux port but, if I remember correctly, it hasn't been updated since its Humble launch and isn't on Steam.

Oh, I see where I went wrong. AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity isn't out for Linux, but
AaAaAA!!! - For the Awesome is. That's where I got confused.

And I just checked, I still have access to a Linux version of Jamestown on Humble.

If you're interested, "LEGO Batman: The Videogame" works flawlessly for me in Proton (and has a "Gold" rating on ProtonDB due to it requiring the "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%" launch command). Most of the LEGO games should work (with that command, most likely), except for "LEGO The Incredibles" and "LEGO DC Super-Villains" which require too much fiddling for comfort.

why not shadow of the tomb raider and hitman 2 ?

also batman origin,styx, flame and the flood and prey

I hope they do not add shadow of the tomb raider and hitman 2. Games we may get ports of should not be purchased using steam play imo.

Curse of Monkey Island? Hnnng I haven't yet decided whether I'm okay with buying Steam Play titles but man this will be in my cart in a heartbeat if I do.

Quoting: HadBabitsHmm, I debate getting Nidhogg. Played it before with the missus, and while I enjoyed it immensely, she became immensely annoyed with me XD (I mean, why would they give you a throw sword button if you're not supposed to use it? :P)

Based on my SSBM history, I would totally be a sword-thrower in Nidhogg :P

I'm really glad to see DS III on the list! However, I'm not sure I would buy the forever edition since I already played through it on PS4 and sold it. That's an advantage with console games that Steam can't touch. SteamDB shows that the lowest the price has gotten is $15. Maybe I'd double dip if it went to $5 or $10.

For those who have the patience for a challenge and haven't played DS III yet, it's definitely worth the $50 or so IMO.

why not? try hitman 2. you can play the tutorial for free. for me it works better, than hitman 1 (actually you all should install it, to show IOI that we want linux) https://store.steampowered.com/app/863550/HITMAN_2/

i mean i get it. you want support feral, but we all want more market share for linux
it is the same with life is strange 2.
why wait, if you can advertise this game now for linux? (it is bad luck for feral, that they already started to port it)

i thinik it is for the best for linux, if you can say "i play TR and hitman NOW" and not "maybe i can play this titles in 1-3 years and if not i have to use proton anyways"

play AAA titles immediately, with good performance at the same time as windows. that helps the linux image

The Star Wars Lego Forace Awakens runs well too. Just need the ESYNC command.

STEINS;GATE!

Sad to see Primordia on the list since it actually has a native Linux version made by the developer that the publisher, Wadjet Eye Games, didn't want to support.

DS3 was not whitelisted already?
Huh... playing it so long already via Steam Play I just assumed so.

Has anyone actually tried using newest Proton with an older DXVK version to check what's actually causing that regression?

I personally can't reproduce the problem at all, the game runs at a nice 60 FPS at all times.
