Do you guys recommend anything?
For The King is a total steal for 5 bucks. Not a ton of repeatability but I lost about 4 weekends beating it. Great game, mixes a lot of genres and it totally work. Worth a look, especially at that price.
Thanks!
Civ 6. If you have like a thousand hours to waste. Else don't
The problem with these games (like Stellaris, which is also on offer and I would recommend with the same warning) is that the base game lacks many interesting features, which you only get if you buy all the DLCs.
I've had a great time playing the Stellaris base game but stopped playing after I felt like I was being locked out of a bunch of new content in DLC. I've been keeping an eye out for a complete pack of the DLC but even on sale I'd need to pay way more than I paid for the base game.
That's true, sadly.
On my tablet I only bought the two large DLCs and not the leader packs and my city planning looked really bad when I realized that not all wonders are available without them.
Age of empires definitive edition is going for $5, though they broke linux compat a few months back.
According to ProtonDB, it seems to work fine. AOE 2 seems to work after tweaks. AOE 3 seems to work fine if you disable Steam overlay.AOE 4 seems okay for single player, though it seems YMMV with a multiplayer fix.
If in doubt, check proton DB for tweaks.
AOE2 DE doesn't work fine scroll down to all the people saying it doesn't work on their flavor of proton. I would know I bought it couple months ago and refunded it because it just wouldn't work. It doesn't seem they fixed anything either.
The most recent comment that claims it works is from 3 days ago, and it seems you need a startup command. So it seems to have been completely broken as of a week or two ago, but potentially there's a workaround on the latest Proton experimental.
So your experience from a couple months ago may no longer apply.
Nope still doesn't work, it used to work on proton 5, 6, 7, 8 flawlessly. Now you have to install a custom proton that includes a simple fix to be able to play the game (this fix only works on proton 7 and 8 and your performance its questionable). Also this isn't official so you can get banned at any moment. Having to use bleeding edge proton for something that used to work on proton 5 flawlessly is not a fix.
I just picked up the homework bundle but I've never played them. I also picked up Warhammer 40k mechanicus, which I own on PS5 but I've switched back to PC with the steam deck.
