I've been reading the comments on the Steam Store page and it seems that unless you have a Ninjascopic Fighting Platform (*), you aren't going to get far with this one. The reviewers also call it Far Cry with blue people!

There are a number of other cons, in particular: published by Ubisoft, contains Denuvo malware, always-online, in-game purchases and numerous bugs. Add to that a hefty price tag of £114.99 (without discount) if you want the Ultimate Edition (or £59.99 otherwise).

Ubisoft are obviously not interested in Steam Deck (or Linux) anyway, so personally I wouldn't give them the coverage.

QuoteTotally procedurally generated missions and story

This is the only part that bothers me. I prefer hand-crafted levels and missions.

Every time I see a reference to Killing Time, I briefly wonder if it's going to be an adaptation of the awesome Indigo Prime story!

Didn't take me long to find that the games are still preserved, though not via official routes. Aarrr, mateys!

I used to use Kaspersky regularly on my Windows system until I switched OS in 2006. Back then, at least, it was a very effective tool.

A new turn-based RPG to play on my Tumbleweed system would be great!

The Zool series from the early 1990s was sponsored by Chupa Chups. The branding was made very obvious when you purchased the game, so it wasn't intrusive or irritating. What EA are suggesting is not on, however.

If anyone is having trouble with gameplay being akin to wading through molasses, try disabling the gamepads in wine. You can do this selecting the wine prefix and then inputting wine control joy.cpl and moving the detected gamepads to the disabled section.
This made my game very playable, though I still have an issue with the mouse occasionally having me look at the ceiling!
