(With a Linux version or at least works good with Proton) Edit: just bought disco Elysium, going to post updates in the comments when I try it tomorrow. It’s on sale until tomorrow in case anyone is going to purchase it.
It’s a really old game, but Lucas Arts The Dig was really great and directed by spielsberg
Holy shit I never played this one. Is it a lot like day of the tentacle and Sam n Max?
Yes! It’s totally in that same vein!!!
Except for that one bit that everyone gets stuck on.
You have to hold down a pressure plate. The solution is to use a metal rod on the big stone tile. You’re welcome.

Firewatch, cloudpunk and Cyberpunk 2077 are some I’ve played recently where I was really immersed.
I have already played Firewatch, it was very awesome indeed. I’ll take a look at the other games you mentioned too.
If you enjoyed Firewatch you’d probably like
- Gone Home (somewhat the OG of this style of game)
- The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
- What Remains of Edith Finch
Outer Wilds, if you haven’t played already. Obligatory warning to avoid spoilers like your life depends on it, go in completely blind if possible.
I shall read nothing about it
Absolutely seconded btw. Cannot express how good this game is. If I could wipe my memory of any one game and play it fresh it would be this
Okay then, you seem to really love this game. I’ll give it a go! It’s not to expensive on steam either.
This game impressed me so much by the time I finished it that it immediately became my all time favorite.
Enjoy it! I still can’t get over how good it is. Don’t even read the Steam description!
I would prefer to save some money right now, so if you already have it would you be willing to either family sharing thing with me? Please don’t feel obligated to do so, as you would have to give me your account password and the 2fa code. Lmk if you want to do this, message me on Matrix at @gregor:gregtech.eu
I’d rather not do that :)
But you can see on SteamDB that it regularly goes on a -40% sale. I’d suggest you just put it on your wishlist and wait to get the email from Steam that it’s on sale 🙂. It hasn’t had a sale for a while now so probably won’t take long.
Understandable, I’ll wait for a sale
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a recent one.
Can second bd:3, I’m just in the second act and it’s been fantastic.
I found Prey to be fantastic.
Just came here to say this. Played it a while back and daaamn it blew my mind, such an awsme, underrated game.
Fallout 3, but especially New Vegas have great stories and hundreds of hours of gameplay, and work fenomenally on proton (I mean, they are equally buggy as in other versions). Fallout 4 is good as well, but I have never tested it on linux
I can’t make the radio stations play in New Vegas, under Proton. And I’m a sucker for Fallout playlists, just can’t play without Radio New Vegas. It was a known bug but nobody has a fix.
Nier Automata. Fair warning you won’t feel happy after finishing it, but it’s something everyone should experience
If you consider emulating older games a viable option, I would suggest:
- Chrono Trigger (SNES)
- Silent Hill (PS1)
- Any Legend of Zelda game (Majora’s Mask is my favourite story-wise)
Exquisite taste.
Seconding the Zelda rec, Majora’s being my favourite as well, with Minish Cap being a close second. (narrative-wise, that is)
That’s a fine choice sir/ma’am.
My close second, story wise, would be Link’s Awakening. The story was a real mind fuck when I was a kid.
Firewatch, not really sure if it’s on Linux but i played at osx so at least multi playform.
The game is mostly about the story, really something else.
Confirmed running on Linux under proton. I started replaying it just the other week. Struggled to get back into it for a second time, but not because it’s a bad game, I’m just a very different person from the one that got a lot from that story. Would absolutely recommend the game.
As a wildcard (my first pick is already here) I put forward Pathologic. I’ve never played it and playing it seems torturous, but it’s absolutely an amazing game with an powerful immersive story. Or perhaps, it’s an amazing game which is a powerful immersive story. The game mechanics are a story-telling mechanism, rather than a mere medium to overlay story onto.

Just saw you got it already - enjoy Disco Elysium!
Some of the best, most enjoyable, games writing I have ever seen. Every character is a treat.
I’ll add Kingdom Come: Deliverance to the list. Great story, fun (if challenging to learn) gameplay and really amazing environments.
I’m sad nobody has mentioned Chrono Trigger…
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Nier Automata
- What Remains of Edith Finch
- Bioshock (quality varies as the series continues)
- Soma
- The Sexy Brutale
Ready for the hate but I love Devil May Cry 5’s story. Even if sometimes it was cliche
