Definitely. Immersive sim is a scant genre with some of my favorite games. We need more of them, so its good that the OGs have been getting so much love.
Thanks for sharing this, wishlisted.
The remake of SS1 was so masterfully done i had hoped SS2 would get the same treatment… But this heavy remaster looks like itll do just fine. Thank god itll have controller support.
One of my all time favorites. This looks like a real remaster rather than SS1’s remake. Either way looking forward to revisiting the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker.
edit: actually im not even half way and I feel like every notable old game ever is on there at a huge discount, with some I am suspicious of with only the title to go off filling the space, except there is no space and its just packed. I need to sleep but I keep scrolling.
The witness 80% off working out to 10.89 irks me. significantly better games with more content are like 6 bucks. I guess when there are no achievements hinting at something being missed, you aren’t compelled to find and do the most bullshit timed challenge in any game I can remember, which increases its value… ?
disclaimer: I enjoyed the first 15-30 minutes or so of the witness then suffered through the slog of completing every last thing. Even my autistic friends that unintentionally did 100% speedruns didn’t like it which gave me the echo chamber I had desired the whole time playing.
Interesting. I never finished The Witness but I got some solid 10h of entertainment out of it before I stopped having fun. I’d say it is a brilliantly well designed game that’s well worth the price if you are into puzzles.
I found this solution worked for me in Australia. It involved clicking a link to add the bundle to my cart, and then another link to check out, rather than going through the normal process.
Redux and last light were great. Awesome short ish stories that capture a unique vibe. The shooting is really good too. I still have yet to try Exodus due to issues running the game. but maybe I’ll try again.
None so far but the first game ran great with Proton. Since the engine is still the same and there’s no DRM or anticheat, I’m pretty sure this one will run great as well.
I’ve played this a lot with my daughter and while it has some great moments, the actual Lego building in this game is really wonky with a controller. It’s a bit easier with a keyboard and mouse bit it’s still leaves something to be desired.
Similar experience. The building doesn’t feel as nice as you’d expect, and it’s often more satisfying in traditional Lego games. Still, the overall gameplay is a unique divergence from their usual game design.
Kinda off topic, but since a lot of people are talking about gaming on linux: can you get DS4Windows to run on linux? Being able to utilise the touchpad of my DS5 controller as a mouse was a game-changer for me, and i dont want to give that up if I dont have to when i do the full switch to linux
DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers have official drivers built-in to the linux kernel, including support for the touchpad and motion controls. You probably don’t need something like DS4Windows.
And if you do run into any problems, the Steam overlay should solve any compatibility problems, if you're OK with launching your games through Steam. I end up doing that with all of my games (including the ones I didn't buy on Steam) since I think its controller mapping UI is the best.
Weirdly enough, I could never get my DS4/PS4 controller working on Linux, at least through Bluetooth. The device never shows up in the device list. My Xbox Series X and Xbox One X controllers work perfectly with Bluetooth thanks to xpadneo, and I can use my DS4/PS4 controller wired with or without ds4drv, but I just can’t get it to work wirelessly.
I’m on Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 6.5.0-41-generic so it shouldn’t be that. Maybe my Bluetooth adapter isn’t that great but it’s a TP-Link UB400 so it’s not exactly a low quality Bluetooth adapter either.
I think that kernel version should handle it, as long as the hid-sony or hid-playstation module is being loaded. (Some 6.7 and early 6.8 kernels had a relevant bug, though.)
It’s hard to say regarding the bluetooth adapter. The branding and price don’t matter; my cheap old no-name dongle worked great. It’s really about whether the parts used inside happen to play well with the other device.
Another thought: Is it possible you have the old version of the DS4, rather than the DS4 v2? If I remember correctly, the light bar is visible through the touchpad only on the v2.
I actually have two PS4 controllers, one older one and one with the light bar. Both of them are unable to connect via Bluetooth.
I don’t have hid_sony or hid_playstation loaded, I tried manually loading them and I think that works but: i.imgur.com/VHbtW5l.png even though they show as loaded, I still experience the same problem: i.imgur.com/Z42WtKr.png I only have a bunch of unnamed devices when searching for new devices to connect to/pair with, and I can’t pair with any of them. My headphones and Xbox Series X controller work perfectly.
