ARK: Survival Ascended

Game runs great, feels fine and looks surprisingly good despite having to run on the lower graphics settings. I would highly recommend it.

I did lower the graphics settings to low and set the texture size pretty small, but other then that it worked perfectly out of the box. I got to about 30 FPS more or less stable which was more then plenty, put me at one of the higher framerates on the server...

ARK: Survival Ascended

I've played the game since it released, put hundreds of hours into it and have never had any issues specific to Linux.

I played on a private, self hosted server without battle eye, I have not tested the anticheat at all as I see no point in using one on a private server.

Played a bit, tutorial auto starts but I ended up skipping it and playing some of the singleplayer parts to unlock stuff.

Mainly was testing it so I can play with friends later, might do a review with local co-op later if I end up playing with them. Just noticed this game didn't have a lot for it yet.

Call of Duty

It doesn't support the Steam Deck screen size, the mouse required a bit of fiddling but Valve automatically uses the old proton so not bad.

Proton 7.0-6

Hogwarts Legacy

Great game when run on NVME, rare crashes but overall a great experience and I've had a lot of fun with it. Would recommend to Linux gamers.

Instability:Occasionally

Mainly if I fast traveled to the room of requirement, actually pretty sure that was the only times I had issues and it wasn't every time.

When I first played it, it lagged and stuttered none stop so I waited for patches before writing this. After reviewing the system requirements and comparing its performance on other devices I realized it's actually due to me running on an HDD and not a NVME, once I flipped it over it's run insanely fast without lag. I'm not lising this as a Linux issue as their system requirements page says you should use a SSD, guessing it's due to how their stuff loads as you run around. Wanted to include this though in case others have this issue.

I Am Sakuya VR: Touhou FPS Game

The game is fantastic runs flawlessly and without any issues, at least not ones due to Linux. I would definitely recommend.

The game doesn't seem to have a good UI setup for the index by defualt, requires reconfiguring but using the VR controllers is a bit of a mess so I suggest using an xbox controller. Also on the index I couldn't get doors to open, it seems to be A on xbox so I just used the controller when I needed doors to open. That was the only time there wasn't a good control for the index, running, jumping and shooting all work fine.

Monster Hunter: World

I played through the entire tutorial part, and character creation (which took like two hours to do) and it was perfect the entire time.

Proton 7.0-4

Monster Sanctuary

I ran it native and it was flawless, would recommend to anybody a fan of the monster collector genre.

Native

Monument

Not the best bullet hell I have ever played but it ran great on Linux. Ran great without any issues and everything worked.

Native

MultiVersus

Plays great despite anticheat which is refreshing on Linux.

Mutant Mudds Deluxe

Game ran great, played it years ago on the 3DS and it really brings me back playing it again. I would recommend to Linux gamers.

It's worth noting it fully supports controllers, you just have to change the current control configuration in a dropdown. Also the game speed is based on framerate which is limited to current screen refresh rate. Don't believe this is Linux related, but if you play on 144 hertz display it runs over twice as fast as normal. 60 hertz displays run the game perfectly fine. I reduced the refresh rate of my display and the game played at a normal speed.

Mutant Mudds Deluxe

It played great on the Steam Deck, felt like it was on a console and as long as you keep it at 60 FPS it played smooth.

It defaults to keyboard/mouse only and I had to start it in desktop mode to flip it to use controllers, after that it worked fine. This is also the only place to change graphic options like making the graphics pixelated. This isn't a Linux issue, it's just how the game was designed.

New World

Honestly yes, it required a bit of patience but once it loaded in it's been running fine. I haven't played a lot on Linux but plant to soon.

When I first got into the game it lagged a bit while shaders cached... Also loading in was insanely slow but once I got into the game it wasn't too bad...

I would recommend it, on AMD hardware I'm guessing you have to use the commands I found on another review, works with them fine.

Tinker Steps:Set launch options

AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV RADV_PERFTEST=rt,emulate_rt %command%

I suspect it wouldn't require tinkering on all hardware, though it did on mine I expect that to be related to the state of ray tracing on AMD GPUs on Linux.

STAR WARS Galactic Battlegrounds Saga

It ran perfectly after modding it, sucks it doesn't work automatically but it's an old game designed for a really old version of Windows...

Installed expanding fronts, renamed the battlegrounds_x2.exe to player.exe and by some miracle I got it to run. After that I set it to run expanding fronts but you can actually configure it there for a modern resolution even on the old version using that...

Windowing:Switching

If you alt tabbed on the title screen you break the fullscreen until you get into a game or restart, this is with the expanding fronts mod...

Touhou Monster TD ~ 幻想乡妖怪塔防

It played perfectly and was a lot of fun, the only issue I encountered was a minor graphical one but it doesn't effect gameplay.

Graphics:Other

The characters are made up of layers and sometimes the layers change their positions it seems, so their face or hair vanish and appear in a flickering effect at times.

Proton 7.0-1

Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition

I have to say this game is rough, it's a favorite but old and broken as heck on 720p except on the Deck.

I did adjust the UI scaling which made the menus look perfect, as well as changing the in game keyboard controls to use WASD instead of arrows. After I was done it looked and felt made for the device. Also ran on OpenGL but after initial setup I've managed to play it a lot without issue.
