From Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

Update - it's not good :(
I refunded it.
Yeah, I went full wireless headphones, keyboard and mouse once upon a time. Then I would have one of them run out of batteries while raiding in WoW or doing WvW in GW2. I went back to wired after that.
Ahh, but have you considered buying wires made of silver for your hi-fi? They're a bargain at only £200 per metre!
I haven't played any earlier ones as they're a bit old for my tastes. I've completed Ys VIII and played some of Ys IX but couldn't say much about it. When I searched the same question before I started, the consensus seemed to be start with Ys VIII then Ys IX. The games aren't in chronological order though so just play what seems interesting.
The newer one, Ys X Nordics, I also haven't played due to the controversy surrounding it (they released it in Oct 2024 then a couple of months later announced a different version that was released in Feb 2026 with more content and QOL added - if you wanted the update you had to buy the whole game again!).
Can't say I have a favourite one to play as when I finish one I rarely go back. My favourites that I've played so far are Dragon Quest XI, Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana and Ruined King.
I reckon they'll be fine. Crate seems to be a very well run studio that so far (for 18 years) makes pretty sensible decisions.
They have no investors and they self-publish so there's that too.
Yep, I had to do this for my Ducky TKL keyboard.
This is actually the last expansion for it.
They have said they're doing Grim Dawn 2 but it'll be quite a few years until it's out (like 2030+). They're working on an RTS set in Cairn (the setting of Grim Dawn) which they've developed their own engine for. While working on that they got the itch to do one last expansion for Grim Dawn. Once the RTS is done they'll fork the engine to make Grim Dawn 2.
This is from an interview that Chris Wilson (of PoE fame) did with Arthur Bruno (CEO of Crate Entertainment who make Grim Dawn).
Yeah, I definitely could have worded that better.
It's offline and has no real money gacha gambling.
Nice! You can even set up email notifications based on wishlist categories now rather than the whole wishlist.
The only thing I want from GoG for Linux is a game download in 1 file instead of many. I spent an hour today trying to install the DLC for Yakuza Like a Dragon and it just would not detect the game installation.
Ended up downloading the whole thing from Fitgirl instead because it's better service.
