Hades II
Early Access version works flawlessly.
Startup time is enormously slow, just as it was in Hades I, mostly due to shaders loading. Window again insists on grabbing your mouse, but this can be undone by alt-tabbing out and back in, just as in the first game. All in all, it looks like basically the same engine that works just as well (namely: perfectly) on Linux as the first game did. Keep in mind this is for the Early Access version, tested on release day (May 6, 2024).

Patrician III
Completely playable, I guess. However, you can never use the options menu without a workaround.
Windowing:Switching
Significant Bugs:
if you ever enter the menu from inside the game, then go back to the game, it triggers a window cleanup that somehow sets the game outside of the screen. No further play is then possible. Workaround: whenever you go to the menu, save your game, exit to desktop, restart Patrician and load your game.
