BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION the latest game from THE BROTHERHOOD (CAYNE / STASIS), has been updated for Linux and it now appears to work great across AMD and Intel GPUs with the open source Mesa drivers.
Originally releasing in February this year, BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION then came to Linux in Beta shortly after in March. From there, the developer has continued to polish it showing some real care and attention on the Linux version.
It seemed they were facing issues with Mesa drivers (AMD / Intel) and video rendering with the Unity game engine, thankfully they've now solved it. Explaining in a little more detail on Steam, they mentioned using a shader to enhance video playback output but it wasn't failing nicely and created a black box so they've managed to sort it—great! Now even more people can enjoy it easily on Linux.
Not seen it before? It certainly seems to live up to the BEAUTIFUL part of the name and it's got quite a positive user rating on Steam. Check out the trailer below:

I hope there are now enough Linux buyers to justify the costs of the extra machine and still be a net positive in the end!
Thank you so much THE BROTHERHOOD!

TL;DR: if you have a Vulkan supported GPU with Mesa you must set as game args this options in order to properly play
MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE=fifo %command% -force-vulkanIf you have a radeon gpu, don't buy this game yet or wait for starting playing it! (believe me, you will get stuck in no time in the game).
