 Notes about games available on [[microsoft_windows|Windows]], with notes on how they work on [[linux]] via [[:wine]]. If games have a native Linux port they'll be on the [[linux_notes|Linux recs.]] page instead.
+^ //Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP// | Wine: **perfect** | |
+| //Space Harrier//-like [[railshooter|railshooter]]. I bought it with money I got selling [[steam]] cards. Pretty fun, but finished it on my first try. The camera angle feels a bit off, and I don't like the screenshake. You can get helpers by collecting coins. I don't know shit about the series it's an offshoot from except there were characters dressed like videogame consoles or something??? |||
+| |||
+^ //[[diorama_battle_of_ninja]]// | Wine: **good** | |
+| Terrific, highly recommended. You're a ninja guy. Sometimes there are hundreds of enemies. |||
+| Game runs fine, but the highscore tables are shown as empty :( |||

 ^ //[[dragons_dogma|Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen]]// | Wine: | also on: everything lol |

-^ //[[edf_4-1|Earth Defense Force 4.1: Shadow of New Despair]]// | Wine: **good** | also on: PS4, XBO |
+^ //[[dynamarisa_3d]]// | Wine: **perfect** | |
-| I dunno. It's really great. I love [[edf_series|the whole series]] though. |||
+| An //[[edf_series|EDF]]// clone in the [[Touhou]] universe. There are separate buttons for roll and jump! Only one character (Marisa), but a cool thing is she has little helper fairies. |||
-| In Wine there's an annoying issue where some font isn't loading. Most of the text is fine, but which difficulty you're selecting is garbled which is a problem in online multiplayer. <del>Entering chat text crashes the game too, though you can still use the pre-determined phrases. Apparently you have to create the save file in a Windows system too, though mine was already made before I tried on Linux.</del> (Text entry works fine now) |||
+| Works great, as long as you use a 32-bit Wine prefix. |||

-^ //[[edf_5|Earth Defense Force 5]]// | Wine: **great** | also on: PS4 |
+^ //[[edf_4-1|Earth Defense Force 4.1: Shadow of New Despair]]// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: PS4, XBO |
-| A bit slow to start compared to other entries, but some of the improvements are really nice: completing a stage on 'hard' difficulty clears it on all lower difficulties too, wing diver has some nice extra moves, you can find weapons and armour for all classes, the pillbugs are back! |||
+| I dunno. It's really great. I love [[edf_series|the whole series]] though. I think I like //5// more, but probably prefer a lot of the stages in //4//. |||
-| <del>Like in //4.1// you still need to create a file on a Windows machines, and freely typing text in multiplayer will also crash the game.</del> (Text entry works for me now!) The scrambled text has be cleaned up though! <del>The big annoyance are unavoidable crashes on some stages, online and offline. Avoid buying until that's fixed in Proton.</del> (also no more unavoidable, predictable crashes!) |||

+^ //[[edf_6|Earth Defense Force 6]]// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: PS4/5 |
+| Has some real boring bits where you're repeating no-fighting stuff, but it's real good, probably my fave in terms of actually getting into the story. The extra weapon slot is a real good addition, especially for wing diver and ranger. |||
+| |||
+^ //Fatum Betula// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: Switch, XBO |
+| Was curious about this for a while, as I kept seeing the [[nintendo_switch|Switch]] version for cheap. I dunno. There's a whole slew of this kinda games that have a bit of imagination, a [[sony_playstation|PSX]] skin, a put-on weirdness, and not much else going on. It's just a nothing game. Get item, use it on thingo, get other item, use it on guy, get item ... |||
+| Only Wine-related trouble I had was with desktop switching giving me a black screen. |||

 ^ //[[gurumin|Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure]]// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: 3DS, PSP |
 | Fun but unexceptional cute action thing. |||
+| |||
+^ //Judero// ''[demo]'' | |
+| Opens with an incredibly annoyingly voiced character. Horrible folk music. Graphics are nice, especially the backgrounds---some of the NPCs too, there's a lot of fighting and it's just pressing the mouse button a lot and really boring, bland puzzles and stuff. It's basically a really uninventive Zelda clone with interesting graphics. Thought I was gunna be into it. ||
+| ||
+^ //Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess// ''[demo]'' | Wine: **perfect** | |
+| I thought there was going to be more to it. Slightly [[tower defence]]y, plus there's a bit of a scramble to find different things around the stage, plus it's a real basic action game. I kind of like it, but can't imagine ever buying it. |||
+| |||
+^ //[[let_it_die]]// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: PS4 |
+| Pretty fun. Some nice janky platforming. Lots of imagination. Got a bit tired of all the grossness and wet sound effects. Uninstalled on the third section. Combat's pretty crummy. |||
+| |||
+^ //Micesweeper// | Wine: **perfect** | |
+| [[mimesweeper]] game where you move a little mouse instead of an actual mouse, with [[nonogame]]-like hints too. Really neat. |||

-|  |||
+| This is the first //[[monster_hunter_series]]// game I played a lot, and I think it was a really good intro. Very active online people and easy to get into multiplayer games. This is kinda the beginning of all the pointless animu story shit and them streamlining shit too much, but it's still fun. Really don't like how the spiritbugs things lead you straight to monsters. Like that you find footprints and things, but wish they did more with that. |||
-| Runs well. There's an issue with Media Foundation stuff that means the game gets stuck on FMV (for example, the game's ending), but you can fix this with [[github>z0z0z/mf-install]]. This MF has already been fixed in some games, so I think //MHW// working perfect is just a matter of time! |||

 ^ //[[rocket_league]]// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: PS4, Switch, XBO |
 | <3 One of my faves, and I still play it a bunch. Fun on my own, fun with pals. Unfortunately, dropped Linux and Mac support. |||
+| |||
+^ //Shin Samurai Jazz// | Wine: **perfect** | |
+| Platformer with sword-based combat and lots of movement options. Lots of having to use double jumps, wall jumps, and stuff to get around levels. I hate platformers with airdashing. But has a nice DIY feel otherwise. |||
+| |||
+^ //SnOut// | Wine: **perfect** | |
+| [[breakanoid]] where your paddle moves like //Snake//. A little clunky, but free on [[Steam]]. |||

+^ //Street Fighter 6// ''[demo]'' | Wine: **perfect** | |
+| It's so tacky. |||
+| |||
+^ //Tactical Nexus// ''[demo]'' | Wine: **perfect** | |
+| Finally tried the demo of this after hearing people rave about it for ages. Sounded intimidating, but eases you into things pretty well. Has an [[RPG Maker]] vibe I really like, something to do with the colours and menus I think. Enjoyed the demo but probably wouldn't get into it enough to play the full game. |||
