Notes on Windows Games
Notes about games available on Windows, with notes on how they work on Linux via Wine. If games have a native Linux port they'll be on the Linux recs. page instead.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen | Wine: | also on: everything lol |
---|---|---|
DynaMarisa 3D | Wine: perfect | |
An 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. | ||
Works great, as long as you use a 32-bit Wine prefix. | ||
Earth Defense Force 4.1: Shadow of New Despair | Wine: good | also on: PS4, XBO |
I dunno. It's really great. I love the whole series though. | ||
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. |
||
Earth Defense Force 5 | Wine: great | also on: PS4 |
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! | ||
|
||
gorogoa | Wine: perfect | also on: OSX |
Really neat puzzle game where you rearrange perspectives on the story to progress. | ||
Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure | Wine: perfect | also on: 3DS, PSP |
Fun but unexceptional cute action thing. | ||
Micesweeper | Wine: perfect | |
Mimesweeper game where you move a little mouse instead of an actual mouse, with Nonogames-like hints too. Really neat. | ||
Mirror's Edge | Wine: perfect | also on: |
Monster Hunter: World | Wine: perfect | also on: PS4, XBO |
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 z0z0z/mf-install. This MF has already been fixed in some games, so I think MHW working perfect is just a matter of time! | ||
Princess Remedy In a World of Hurt | Wine: perfect | |
Really fun little game. RPG-like, but the battle are real-time action things where you fight viruses to cure people. I really like the 'jealous chest'. And it's free! | ||
Add -safe to the launch commands to enable sound. |
||
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. | ||
SnOut | Wine: perfect | |
Breakanoids where your paddle moves like Snake. A little clunky, but free on Steam. | ||
Tametsi | Wine: great | |
Logic puzzles in the vein of minesweeper and Matthew Brown's 'Cells games, but with even more varied board designs and even more challenge. Really like it, and it was only a buck-or-so. | ||
The only issue in Wine is the pre-launch window where you select resolution; it glitches out when I use the dropdown. | ||
valkyria_chronicles | Wine: great | also on: Switch, PS3, PS4 |
Easy-to-get-into tactics game. | ||
In Wine it runs great, there're just some issues with audio quality. PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% fixes this a bit. |
||
Videoball | Wine: perfect | also on: PS4 |
My favourite multiplayer game. | ||
For running with Proton just add PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% to the 'launch options' :D |
||
Warframe | Wine: perfect | also on: PS4, Switch, XB1 |
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“xaudio2_7=n,b” %command% ) inserted into the launch options and it works great! |
||
Yakuza Kiwami | Wine: perfect | also on: PS3, PS4, XBO |
Really enjoyed parts of this; some things more as the game went on, some things less. | ||
