Prime Gaming is giving away quite a lot of games - so don't miss out

I've spent a few hours on GreedFall over the last couple of days, and I'm quite enjoying it. Seems like a solid RPG so far, though it's a shame that there's no proper jump mechanism. My thumb hits the space bar and I get an action menu instead :-)
Apparently, GreedFall II is due to be released soon.

There are suggestions on the Steam forums for GTA V to simply install Windows on the Steam Deck! Oh, okay then...

Interesting that the Steam store page mentions Denuvo. Presumably this will be for Windows rather than Linux, though I wonder if some form of DRM will be included in the Linux build?

Quoting: Mountain ManA Linux distro that doesn't run native Linux games is absurd.
Almost like a mobile Linux-based OS that doesn't support Linux... ;-)

Quoting: NexxticMultiplayer is not happening. Our audience isn't into that and every throwback shooter that tried multiplayer ended up being dead on arrival with a lot of wasted development time. And even when multiplayer does well, it doesn't take long until players move on.

Glad to hear it and thank you for a wonderful game!

Personally, I don't mind the odd bit of multiplayer in Quake or Quake 2 but that's about as far as I go these days. I prefer single-player gaming generally, which is handy as I do not have as much free time as I used to!

Amazing game with rapid movement and responsive controls. Lots of Easter eggs and secrets to find, and some clever level design. The synth-style music is brilliant, too.

My favourite pastime is to smash or walk through all the windows in each level! Currently, I have some stupid amount of hours playtime and am on the Starlight Green level. Highly recommended.

The game does look good, with an interesting concept. However, the graphics scream Unity3D at me which can be a bit hit-and-miss performance-wise on Linux. Still, will certainly check this game out!

The first game was quite good, though I'm convinced I spent most of the time competing against aimbots. Might just be my rubbish performance, though... ;-)

I'd actually never heard of these games until they appeared on Steam. I think I was playing too much Doom or Quake back in those days!
