  • They’re simple to get into for anyone with an introductory interest in Linux, although I haven’t liked Ubuntu in ages. My Mint setup took a bit of effort but it does game pretty well. Fedora could be a good recommendation too, I liked that when I tried it out. There’s some gaming focused distros like Bazzite or Nobara, but I feel like I can get a “normal” distro working to a similar state for games, and I don’t have to hope that a small team doesn’t fold and my distro loses updates support.

    I’m trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed this week, wanna see if it’s a good alternative to Fedora.

    I don’t dare try Arch yet, and thus I also wouldn’t recommend it to any new user.






  • Yes, all of their games in the past few years or so have DLCs like that. What I’m actually worried about is some of their games the MTX aren’t irrelevant like these. Monster Hunter has been getting more and more of these with each new release since World and I’m scared of what they’ll do with Wilds.


  • The Armored Core Portable games are really good, if you can live with thr wonky controls. There’s Tekken 5 Dark Ressurrection, great port of the same.fighting game of the PS3. Gran Tourismo Portable is nice, alongside Wipeout Pure and Pulse, and Ridge Racer are all nice racing game options. And I cannot go without mentioning Monster Hunter Portable 3rd! One of the best in the series, easy to get into and has a fan translation available.





  • Nintendo first party titles are very stingy with sales. Many third party titles however, go on some pretty good sales with decent regularity. You might also want to make a Japan/Hong Kong/Singapore account to grab Asia-exclusive games sometimes, if those interest you.
    As for the games I own and would recommend, there’s:
    -BOTW
    -Metroid Dread -Dead Cells
    -Hollow Knight
    -Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion
    -Burnout Paradise
    -Fast RMX
    -Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (or Rise)
    -Atelier Ryza (or Sophie)
    -Mario Kart
    Just some general, off the top of my head recommendations. If you want recommendations of specific genres, I might be able to recommend further.




  • Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is one that instantly comes to mind. It surprisingly still has a very active competitive playerbase, mostly comprised of slavs that have been playing it since they could read words on a computer screen. Another one that I’ve personally can’t stop playing, is the first Warhammer 40K:Dawn of War game with it’s expansions and mods. It’s just so good, and I wish a modern version with a modern engine could be made. I don’t trust Relic to do that tho.

    Other than that, there’s a myriad of old console and arcade games that are still excellent. Super Metroid, SEGA Rally, shmups like Dodonpachi and Mushihimesama, Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike… there are really way too many to count.
