Witcher 3 has an amazing story and 2 DLCs that feel like entire games themselves. Runs great for me under Linux Mint (Steam / Proton).

The games are a bit buggy but pillars of eternity and dead fire have awesome stories and characters. Then classic crpgs like bg2, planescape torment. And the reboot tides of numenera.

Pretty sure Portal and Portal 2 are playable in Linux.

gregor OP ,

They are more than just playable. They have native versions, because Valve wants to push gaming on Linux. Both are awesome games! I have already played them.

The original BioShock is a masterpiece

Vinny_93 ,

Borderlands 2 is great! Should work with Proton.

BarHocker ,

Naming Borderlands 2 when asking for great story is bold though.

Story itself is maybe B tier, but the characters are excellent. Handsome Jack’s lines never get old.

Jarlsburg ,

If you’re down for a retro RPG via an emulator, Earthbound. The overarching story is about dealing with traumatic events as a child and coming of age while hitting the endearing but quirky note similar to games like Undertale that was a cult classic on the SNES. It came boxed with a full color, complete strategy guide made to look like a travel guide so it’s intended not to be too difficult and really experience the story.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a recent one.

Can second bd:3, I’m just in the second act and it’s been fantastic.

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.

gregor OP ,

I shall read nothing about it

def Disco Elysium

heed this warning though: after Disco, there is no going back; most storytelling might seem subpar or just of low quality afterwards

it’s also soul crushing, existentialist and doesn’t shy away from critiquing/ridiculing society and what it believes in (from a Marxist pov, though Communism itself isn’t spaired either in the game, with a harsh critique only communists could write), but it’s also one of the most hopeful games I’ve ever played at the same time

I would rly recommend a blind play through without cheating through quick saves! (aka. save scumming) A lot of decisions in the game succeed based on the probability of your stats accomplishing it. I made the mistake in my first play through and just forced everything I wanted by reloading over and over again -_-

AoE2. I played the hell out of singleplayer back in the day, and with Remastered they both added new ones and improved the storytelling in old ones. Art of War campaign also is a good introduction to multiplayer combat.

If you like historic stuff; you’ll like it. There also exists lot of community campaigns

I haven’t finished it yet but celeste has a good story and works basically perfectly. It is very difficult though

glorious_goldfish ,

Horizon Zero Dawn. I played it to completion via proton, ran great.

Ziggurat ,

Alice is missing : Content warning, it’s a game about a missing kid, Bullying and sexual harrassment will be at the table, it’s also a game with a lot of bleed potential. The game mechanic using text messaging is pretty great, and the sound track is amazing.

I had a really good surprise when discorvering the Forged in the Dark mechanics which are PBTA with a bit more rule. Works quite well, but like many other story first game, it pushes more improv style and less prepare awesome stories

mynamesnotrick ,

Firewatch, cloudpunk and Cyberpunk 2077 are some I’ve played recently where I was really immersed.

gregor OP ,

I have already played Firewatch, it was very awesome indeed. I’ll take a look at the other games you mentioned too.
