Are you playing it on disc by any chance? I know that I couldn’t get it working due to “Games for Windows Live”. I had to purchase it a second time on Steam before it worked (since they removed GFWL from the Steam and GOG versions).

but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux

What distro?

Do you know what graphics card you’re using?

Have you looked through PCGamingWiki?

• To The Moon: Absolutely heart breaking.
• Tales of Maj’Eyal: An incredible rogue-like with 30+ classes and God knows how many achievements.
• Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead: Apocalyptic rogue-like. Zombies, bandits, aliens and Lovecraft shit. Want to raid a dojo? Learn Judo from a book and proceed to race around town on a pair of rollerblades practicing on the undead? Feel free.

That, and the smaller communities that are here tend to be split between multiple instances.

I haven’t picked up anything myself. Here’s some recommendations though.

• Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy. £9.89 -67%
• Mafia: Definitive Edition £12.24 -65%
• Outer Wilds £12.59 -40%
• Pillars of Eternity £5.74 -75%
• Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen £3.83 -84%
• Dyson Sphere Program £13.94 -10%
• Superliminal £7.74 -50%
• The Forgotten City £9.44 -55%
• Halls of Torment £3.43 -20%

Honestly, I think if a game was good back then, it’s still good now. There’s just a bit of an adjustment period.

Are there any types of games you enjoy in particular? Favourite genres and series?

Honestly, the only reason I have Netflix in the first place is because it came bundled with my ISP. Can’t cancel it without phoning them up and I’m much too lazy to do so.

Personally, I don’t really bother with keeping up with things like upcoming releases, reviews, teasers and trailers.

Not only to avoid the hype but also because there have been a couple of occasions when watching a single review or trailer on YouTube led to me getting a recommended video of the game during the release week, and that video had a massive spoiler in its title.

I prefer to go into it completely blind. Maybe I just have incredibly low standards though. Some of my favourite games are those which were widely hated.

Although after spending 10+ years on Reddit (which I’ve since quit using). Even the dedicated game subs are full of bitching and constant arguments, and God help you if you’re a fan of MMORPG’s cause that sub seems to absolutely despise them.

People whose first love was Lara Croft on the PSX?

I’d recommend either Tidal or Qobuz. If you end up buying albums instead I would also recommend Roon (not a streaming service).
