Ready for the weekend? Humble Bundle just put up the Fantastic Journeys: Middle-earth and Beyond bundle and it's actually pretty darn good.

- Deck Verified
- ProtonDB Gold (also has an old Native Linux port)
Shadow of War - Definitive Edition
- Deck Verified
- ProtonDB Gold
LEGO: The Hobbit + three DLC packs
- Deck Verified

- ProtonDB Gold
Gauntlet Slayer Edition + one DLC
- Deck Unrated
- ProtonDB Platinum
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1 - 4

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
I gave my fiancee pretty much all of them as she loves LEGO games but I got Shadow of War on PC now!

For what its worth, I was playing Lego LOTR with GE-Proton today. I'll have to try that out on the deck. The Hobbit, although highly rated is apparently unfinished. Just a warning if you're expecting an ending like in the book.

The last time I played The Hobbit the fishing mechanic didn't work. I'll have to give it another go.

Shadow games are so good. They can get boring as theyre a bit repetetive, but I always come back.

Apparently I haven't played Shadow of Mordor since 2018, but I remember it being pretty good fun. Maybe I'll give it another go at some point, assuming the native Linux version still works -- it'd be good to see how the game ends.

It's often overlooked, but I can happily recommend Gauntlet for good simple coop fun. Most such games are usually focused on the grind, which is pretty light in Gauntlet (and mostly introduced after release as new abilities to buy, because people felt there should be something to "work towards" when playing).
Don't shoot the food.

TBH, I remember the game as being very good - but the ending not so much. I liked the feeling of a world where things happen all the time, not just around you to please you, and of course the nemesis system or how they called it. Enemies remembering you.

I still can't believe they have a patent on the nemesis system. I hate trivial patents, I hate software patents and I hate patents on ideas. This pretty much fills all the boxes. The fact they have appied that patent makes the game completely not enjoyable to me, sadly.

I would have overlooked this bundle if the commenters wouldn't have mentioned the Lego games. Bought all of it, mainly for the little ones. They're playing Lego the Movie - The Game (What a title!?!) now as their first action game and are having lots of fun. This is a case where it's nice to have twins. ;)
