Dead Cells is a game I always have installed just to pick it up in bursts of 30 minutes or an hour.
It’s a roguelike, it’s challenging and it’s easy to pick up any time.
Even though it has levels, the intended way to play it is in runs. You start the game, start a new run, and try to go as far as you can, you die and repeat.
Multiple paths to choose, so it never becomes boring, and the levels are generated, so you can’t memorize everything.
Hollow Knight is a masterpiece worth recommending. Furthermore, it satisfies most of your criteria. But you might need one of the better integrated GPUs to run it smoothly on your system.
Hades is another masterpiece worth recommending and perhaps satisfies even more of your criteria. Though, once again, it requires you to have one of the better integrated GPUs.
can you work around this by copy/pasting maybe all 25 characters at once or maybe each segment at a time?
alternative: install somewhere else (windows pc or VM) and copy the install dir contents and registry
alternative 2: get the steam version, I just tried it with proton experimental and it seems to work fine.
edit: steam lets me choose the base game, war chiefs or asian dynasties, AD and WC work without a problem but the base game asks for a key and I can also just input 4 characters instead of 5. but I’d always play with all expansions https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/d80dd45e-2194-4c78-a7a7-9579d8c3af0f.png

I tried that already and it didn’t work.
Thanks for helping; I still have at least one roadblock stopping me from installing but I managed to solve the text-box issue by installing Microsoft Core Fonts with the command winetricks corefonts
Any keyboard is going to work. As Ipacial said not all rgb stuff will work but basically any major brand works with open rgb at this point. I personally have a razor keyboard that I can control the lights with open rgb. I have a Logitech mouse that does not have rgb and I control the dpi with solaar.
If you care about rgb just look at supported devices and brands here openrgb.org/devices.htmlThis is an extremely long list so just find a keyboard you like and see if it is on the list.
I really like this post. While I’m a self-proclaimed tinkerer, running window managers, Arch and NixOS, I never really understood gaming on Linux: it jusy went over my head, with all the Heroic, Bottles, Lutris, launching through Steam, etc. It feels like I should have understood it months ago. It’s so simple once you see someone describe it simply and properly. Thank you so much for that. I can’t describe how much I appreciate it.
I only just realised you were the person who wrote this as well. I should be the one thanking you! Thank you, thank you very much, for making Linux Gaming accessible and easy to understand.
It’s not a console, exactly, and it isn’t a PC, either. It’s a hybrid you can connect to a TV or monitor and it will work with your old PC games. I’d see if anyone I knew had one to have a look. But, then again, nothing beats a hunk of junk that still works at a yard sale. I love finding stuff like that.
