Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play? (beehaw.org)

Hi everyone! So I just switched to Linux and I am a little unsure of what to play on my laptop.

It's a presumably decent laptop, 16gb of ram and Iris Xe, but I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim.

I'm looking into things like emulation, finally tackling my Itch.io backlog, and bringing out old classics.

I like RPGs and text-based choose your own adventure games, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

Hotline Miami is FOSS???? WOOOOW

EDIT: I can't read

Katana ZERO is an all time fav.

Really looking forward to the second half of the story in the upcoming free update.

"just wait for the dlc"

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

The game is worth as is, already. And the DLC will be free.

Is it coming though? I played it during the first COVID lockdown and it was already supposed to come out soon™

But yeah the first part is more than worth it in itself.

It's been soon™ for years. The dev has been fairly quiet about it, but popped up now and then on his blog or twitter with new deets.

It was initially supposed to be just a small addition to the game, but has ballooned, and will now nearly double the game's size when it finally drops. Each time I've checked though, there's been some news.

And when I did just now to get links to the new music and gameplay that I found last time, I just now found out you can try out some new content in the game using a secret beta branch on steam. Its right there in the news feed if you go look at the game in your library.
