      Man the community with the recent recompilations of old classics to play them natively and enhance them is crazy. I have to get into this too (but different games). I would have thought with the recompilation of a game on Windows, a native Linux version should be possible too.

          Ah, I see. Sounds like a similar issue with native Steam games, where the Proton / Windows version works better.

    I’ve been playing a couple games:

    • Sea of Stars - Been wanting to play this a long time, and it’s similar in some ways to the Golden Sun games, which are my favorite JRPGs. However the combat is slow, and the skill lock mechanic is actively unfun a lot of the time. Not sure if I’m going to play much more, I might tweak the difficulty settings to make combat really easy and just “skip” that part of the game. Mainly just disappointing because I really want to like this game.

    • Dragonsword awakening - basically was a heavily genshin inspired gacha game, that got reworked into a full premium release. Pretty fun if you want a game like Genshin but without any f2p crap.

    • Sifu - Really good combat game, I flip back and forth between feeling like a martial god and a bumbling idiot.

    So I just started playing Brotato, the cousin (or should I say brother?^^) of Vampire Survivors, as if I didn’t have a backlog enough. I avoided these games until now, for whatever reason my curiosity picked up. But now I can see the appeal to it. Well for one price was not the actual issue. You can get them for 5 Dollars / Euros, or 3 on a sale.

    Why would I chose to play Brotato instead the more famous (and vampires are cooler) Vampire Survivors? After researching and reading opinions about both games, I came to a conclusion that Brotato might be better on the gameplay side, with more depth in it through meaningful different characters and items. And Vampire Survivors is also focused on collectables, which I’m not such a big fan of, but for many that is a plus. I also like the idea of Brotato releasing enemies in waves and then in between one can purchase stuff with money in a shop. I will probably end up playing the other game too… and then there is Mega Bonk, which I also ignored until now.

      Deep Rock Galactic Survivor is my personal favorite in the genre, so one more for your backlog.

    Got back into Caves of Qud recently. I gave up on it a while back, but I have a renewed interest in it and it’s going well.

    It would be boring if I started talking about RetroArch again… so I will not mention it. At the moment I’m not playing too much on the Steam Deck, or in general for that matter. But I started recently playing Wreckfest, which is like Destruction Derby on Playstation (I’m old). Still early on and need to see if its any good in todays day and age.

    I also want to go back to Shenmue 3, as a fan of the original Shenmue 1 and 2 on the Dreamcast. It feels like I would emulate an old game, lol. Man, I’m such a sucker for these oldschool games. There is also a new enhanced edition of Shenmue 3 upcoming, not sure if its worth the price and wait. Maybe I get it for free as an owner of the original version, just like that Rockstar did with GTA 5. Or maybe a discount…
