It works fantastically, beware if you Alt-Tab the mouse movement and clicks will still register but this could likely be fixed using virtual desktop or the likes. Otherwise perfect.

Had absolutely no issues in the 127 hours I spent playing it.

Only issue with the game would be the contrast. This is an issue with the game itself though, and not with running it on Linux. (I used a color calibrating device). The issue with the contrast can not be fixed to my knowledge. Whether through ingame settings or those on your monitor.
