Tested and approved:

- nice graphics and colors
- nice music
- nice and original fighters
- multiplayer (for linux too)
- Linux version and support: I asked for support on the Steam forum and the dev answered me quickly

We have not a lot of fighting games on Linux, but this one worth the price (11 € during winter sales).

Quoting: medve

Quoting: ThormackGuys, could you recommend some nice free-to-play windows games? Never used Proton before and don't want to buy win games just for testing.

Get LEGO: LotR for free in the next 12 hours. You can keep it permanenty.

Not a good idea for a "Proton Beginner": launch the game, show the logo screen then crashed.
You have to install directx9 with winetricks in the Proton game prefix...
Thormack take a look at this database:
https://www.protondb.com
to know if a game is Proton compatible.

Quoting: wvstolzingI gave in to my curiosity, and downloaded the whole thing ... but AssCreed 1 still doesn't work. I wonder how the folks on youtube got it to work.

Works very well here in directx10 mode with DXVK. Are you using the last Proton beta? Are you using the correct Nvidia drivers? (or MESA if you own an AMD GPU, see requirements here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Requirements)
First thing to do: uninstall and reinstall the game.

Happy to see new improvements for Proton. As soon Proton will know how to play wma/wmv, a lot of Windows games could be whitelisted (Darksiders, Dark Souls, Age of Empire 2 HD, Final Fantasy XIV....)

Very original game, derogatory and funny. Thanks for the dev team that ported it to Linux and I hope I could play the new version on Linux.

I think Feral have better sell if they focus about great games that do not work or have little compatibility with Steamplay/Proton.

I'm dreaming to play Rockstar games on Linux:
GTA
L.A. NOIRE
RED DEAD REDEMPTION

and all the Just Cause chapters too.

Quoting: GuestDark Souls 1 Remastered has major game engine bugs and is basically unfixable, so probably not.
And what about Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition? I mean yes its no longer for Sale because of the Remaster but many still own it.

"Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition" works great on Proton but can not be whitelisted because of this issue: cinematics do not play.
A lot of games could be whitelisted on Steamplay if only Wine/Proton could play cinematics in WMV format.
An issue is opened on Proton github for Windows Media Player implementation:
Add .wmv file playback support to Proton. #1464

Quoting: mylkaor never like ubisoft games with their stupid uplay client
i can live without EA games, but i like far cry, watch dogs and assassins creed. i hope valve has a solution for this problem, or ubisoft stops being a pain in the ass and removes this nonsense

Valve should never have accepted the presence of the Uplay software client, this is duplicate with the Steam client for the same functionalities (success, overlay, discussions etc ...) and it consumes twice the resources.

Quoting: UltraAltesBrotThe issue with games using .NET launchers not starting isn't solved yet, is it?

Resolved for games that need .Net 2.0 (it is already installed in Proton), not the others. Normally it will be resolved when Proton will update to Wine 3.18 that resolved the bug for .Net 3.5 install on 64 bits prefix:
