Judging from your tastes, I think you would enjoy dragons dogma 2. Be aware that the engine is rather… unoptimized, so there are performance slowdowns in towns and densely populated areas, but I’ve never dipped below 40fps on my rig which has slightly worse specs than yours. It can be a bit finicky to get working on Linux, depending on your distro. I’m on nixos and was experience graphics driver crashes pretty regularly until I swapped to amdvlk
and swapping to the latest proton GE. Once you get the game working though, it’s a lot of fun and definitely worth the hassle! I’d describe it as baldur’s gate 3, but an action RPG instead of turn based, and therefore it feels much more free and open to me. You should also be aware that the game is pretty punishing. No save slots and rolling back is hard if you mess something up, and minor enemies can really ruin your day if you’re not paying attention. It’s probably one of the most “realistic” fantasy games I’ve ever played in that regard.
There’s dozens of us!
I’ve had to do very little tweaking overall to get most games working, with the one notable exception being dragons dogma 2. The solution was proton GE and a new
.nix
file with GPU tweaks and now I’m getting slightly better performance than the average windows experience.
