Hi everyone! So I just switched to Linux and I am a little unsure of what to play on my laptop.

It's a presumably decent laptop, 16gb of ram and Iris Xe, but I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim.

I'm looking into things like emulation, finally tackling my Itch.io backlog, and bringing out old classics.

I like RPGs and text-based choose your own adventure games, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

Omori, if you are into Motherlike games. More story based if that's your thing

Earthbound would keep you busy for quite a while

If you like text-based adventure games, check out ifdb.org for a massive store of free and abandoned text-based games. You can play in-browser or on any OS with a native client, Linux and Android included

Might be interested in Endless Sky? It's a 2d spaceship simulator/RPG. I haven't played it in a while but I only started encountering performance issues when my fleet was 40+ ships large and at that point I kinda get it

I quite like Mindustry, it's FOSS and on Android too, it is in most repositories/appstores

Deus Ex is a great one (and you can even play the Randomizer mod in Linux)

Go nuts over on GOG!

So many great titles for cheap.

If you like roguelikes I'd recommend Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

I recently played through every Deus Ex game on linux, first 2 are oibviously low end, and maybe Human Revolution , it came out in 2011. the original and Human revolution are pretty good if you like rpgs, Invisible war the second game is alright but pretty light on some elements that make those two great, cause it was made i think with thje original xbox in mind instead of pc.

Chrono trigger for SNES, ff 7,8,9 for psx. If you can run citra bravy default. Final fantasy 3 for PSP, ff tactics for GBA.

Starsector. Sseth has a really good review of the game.

Bloons TD6 is pretty fun and light.

[–] super_user_do@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

ofc battery drains if not connected to the electricity network man, these graphics card are not meant to run games if not when they are charging

Anyway you can try SuperTux and Xonotic

Cave Story is good / hectic / hard platformer. I might be wrong but I think it was made for Linux first

Also, if you install RetroArch, you can play all the emulated systems.

Most indie games that are deck verified should work just fine. I'm playing DREDGE on my deck at the moment - absolutely recommend this one and the battery life is phenomenal. Apart from that Factorio or FTL will keep you busy for days (and nights...)

Backpack hero is very cute and fun, and runs very well through proton.

[–] d4r1us_drk@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Dark Souls Remastered should run just fine, one of the greatest games ever. Also make sure you play it with a controller!
