Bought my wife a copy of Titan Quest... bad idea
Still a great game which supports LAN-only multiplayer - sadly, most older games don't play well with with virtual NICs from Hyper V and Docker Desktop.
Looks like an early rendition of WoW.
It's more like Diablo. Great game for its time
like Diablo and Diablo 2?
More like D2 or PoE. The interesting aspect is that you can combine two classes, like rogue + mage or rune + defender.
I guess you aren't talking about Power over Ethernet?
My bad: Path of Exile, really worth it. Free 2 Play without Pay 2 Win. You can only buy chest space, character slots and cosmetics, but nothing that makes you more powerful in any way.
I agree that the game has a ton of play through and depth, but it's such a massive grind.
Yeah it's kind of a grindy genre though
I get it, I do, it's just such a long grind. Even worse than WoW. .
It's 100% worse than WoW in that regard. I am playing classic and I basically raid 1 day a week. The rest of the time I'm playing other games
What made me stop playing PoE was trading. It's fun, but it starts to become actual work at some point. Eventually, we gifted everything to friends. Hundreds of Ex (Exalted Orbs) and items worth a few thousand Ex
I stopped playing after a month or so of playing solo in such an in-depth game, it was to much to take in all at once and was just a massive grind.
Wasn't enjoyable.

There are just a few billion skill combinations

I haven't played online and I only have about 4 hours into the story mode... but I'm not loving it so far. Everything feels really clunky to me for some reason. I'm not used to holding a certain key vs. tapping it for a different result. I also hate how slow looting is; I understand it's intentionally that way, but I still don't like it. It's a beautiful game, and I want to love it, but it might just not be the right game for me.
Looting animations are very extra.

One of many games I randomly play.
Just for the heck of it, I downloaded it last night and did some single player. It's a lot of fun, lol.

Dragon Age: Origins

I'm trying to play through KotOR 2. I played through most of it a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away), but I don't recall actually finishing the game.

Same, I need to play it again and finish it.

I've have finished Peragus so many times...

The other day I started playing Basement, it's a pretty difficult story teller.
Not meant for kids or anywhere near workplace appropriate.

Played the original TIM (The Incredible Machine) again a few weeks ago.
A great game from 1993.

I've actually gone back and started working on Witcher 1.

If it ran on Linux, I'd do that because I could play from my work desktop when the kids are using other systems. But alas, it does not.

@scottalanmiller It's on Steam.
I was of the opinion that you could run Windows steam games using WINE.
Is that not the case? -

Is that not the case?A lot of the games run, some don't. They've done a really good job about getting it to work.

Is that not the case?WINE is WINE, that it comes from Steam doesn't change it. If Steam has gotten an individual game to work on Linux using some sort of toolset, they announce that on the game page. They have some big ones working, but I've not seen any done using WINE, it's all using Steam's own platform, which does in turn use WINE, but it's not WINE doing the heavy lifting.

But have you tried Steam's Platform on Linux to make it work yet?

Steam doesn't list it as working. So their platform isn't integrated with it.

Most of the Windows only games are listed to Not work with Steam, but if you enable the beta features a lot of them do. I'll test from my linux laptop and report back.

It launches and such. I haven't played it on that laptop because it will overheat it, lol. It launches in full screen and all by default. I just put it in Windowed mod so you could see it, lol. The system is Ubuntu 19.10 and I let it install the NVIDIA drivers and all automagically.
