Deeper Down is a Half-Life 2 Episode 2 mod inspired by the travelling scenes where you go from location to location taking down Combine... and you aren't alone. Alex will be joining you on this expedition!



I didn't have any issues playing Deeper Down and it ran beautifully with all settings on high and very high. This is a mod you don't want to miss! Love the interaction and help from Alex and the travelling from place to place enjoying the sites and taking out Combine.

Prince Of Persia 2008 in Proton

  • 0
Prince Of Persia was developer by the Ubisoft Monreal team who also created the Assassin's Creed franchise. So of course it's gonna be good!
Use the powers of light through your companion Elika and remove the evil corruption to free the Kingdom back to it's former glory!
Climb, slide, grapple, solve ancient puzzles and learn new skills which help you traverse the ancient ruins.


Back in 2017 I posted a step-by-step guide on Prince of Persia in PlayOnLinux.
Today I am using Heroic Launcher and syncing with my GOG account. This way I can download the entire game without having to download separate 2GB installation files.

Honestly, this game is fun, but it's very arcade... most of the climbing is done for you and all that has to be done is hit a specific key and maybe a direction. Assassin's Creed has a lot more freedom when it comes to climbing. The...

Wolfenstein: Old Blood in Proton

  • 706
  • 2
Once again returning to Castle Wolfenstein... you play as Blazkowicz, a top secret agent and of course, things go wrong. Escape the castle starting with your bare hands and two pieces of broken pipe from your cell. Use stealth kills to sneak your way around the gauntlet of passages throughout the castle mazes.


Using the same engine as New Order, this game is very similar in game-play mechanics, weapons and graphics style. This is a GREAT continuation of the Wolfenstein franchise and extremely satisfying taking out guards, minions and mini bosses of all kinds. Run-and-gun will not always work here! Use cover, lean around corners and make quick weapon choices to save your life.

Old Blood ran perfectly in Proton without any major configurations in Proton. In fact, I was able to record the gameplay while retaining all of the graphics settings on high and it didn't affect my frames per second.

Dark Interval Mod in Proton

  • 899
  • 0
We've waited many years for Half-Life 3, until this day comes... enter Dark Interval!


Gordon Freeman is back in City 17 to learn of the aftermath since the destruction of the citadel.
Dark Interval is a very well made continuation of the Half-Life story with new characters, new features, new weapons and incorporating Half-Life assets with familiar characters like Barney, professor Kleiner and Dog.

Everything ran really well in Linux with Proton!
I previously never heard of this modification and after playing through Part II, I am thoroughly impressed!
Seriously! It's a great story with a lot of Half-Life-ish environments, puzzles and action! They did a very professional job creating a convincing City 17 and story!
I won't mention any of the new features, but I was excited to see new content which add to the story and development of Gordon Freeman as a silent character.

Minerva Metastasis Half-Life 2 Mod

  • 1,101
  • 0
If you have attempted to play any mods in Half-Life 2 this is one you will have stumbled on. Minerva Metastasis was developed by a single person: Adam Foster
You play as a silent character (probably Gordon Freeman) who was dropped off at a remote island to investigate a strange beam of light and rumors of Combine forces. Little did he know, an entire separate underground citadel is churning below!


This mod is one of the most fantastic and professionally developed of almost all HL2 mods! The transition from diving down the citadel floor by floor and all of the creative combine areas make this mod absolutely complete! On top of that it runs with the free Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer package available in Steam. And, the mod is available in Steam as its own independent game. No need to install an EXE and find the folder to put ins Sourcemods directory. Minerva was the...

V Rising in Proton

V Rising is a survival action RPG set in an open world filled with forests creatures, tribes and bosses.
Gather resources and build your lair to protect you from the sun. Follow your blood sense to take out a boss and gain new abilities.
Host a server and play with friends in co-operative or PvP sessions.


Proton handles V Rising pretty well, even when I have created my own server to host the game locally. There have been a few glitches where the ground didn't render or the frame rate stuttered. I experienced very few crashes and honestly just play for an hour without any real issues. I love how you can rotate the camera with the mouse. Animations are great and its a lot of fun exploring this massive map! It's a different experience playing the "bad guy" who needs to suck blood to enhance your strength...

The one and only Harry Potter game that has EVERYTHING! Except Harry Potter of course...
Explore the epic halls of Hogwarts, solve puzzles, attend classes, learn spells, interact with other students... the game seems endless.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open world 3rd person adventure with all kinds of features that most games never boast and its all there. All the magic, exploration, flying, potions, animals, enemies and much much more. The main storyline campaign is interesting, full of mystery, fantastic characters and plot.


The first issue you will notice in Linux is a very very long black screen loading before the menu. I've researched and found this happens on consoles and Windows. I'm not sure why it happens but it can literally take 20 minutes. Honestly its worth it! This game is SO MUCH FUN! I can't believe all the interactive elements and action. You really get to fly which is something I've wanted since Skyrim! There are some other...

Continue the story as Artyom during post apocalyptic Moscow in the underground Metro. Travel through miles of track visiting small communities of survivors and garrisons. The story unveils some twists impacting who is actually winning but I won't unveil that here... but the "dark one" plays a main part in Artyoms survival.

Game-play is almost identical to Metro 2033 with ride-a-longs and cutscenes. Most of the game is linear with some arena-ish areas that allow exploration. You are given the option to sneak or run-n-gun but stealth is much easier for survival since there are only save checkpoints. Specific bullets are uses as currency, but not ammo meant for your weapons. There are also numerous modifications you can use to make your weapons more efficient or quieter.

Sadly I bought Metro Last Light on GOG with did not provide a Linux version. However proton handles the game perfectly! I was able to play though without any major game-breaking...

Tomb Raider 2013

It has been 10 years since I tested Tomb Raider in Linux and once again Feral is successfully at creating a Linux port that stands the test-of-time.


Not only is there a native port that still runs on today's hardware, it also runs on recent distro, kernel and drivers. I was able to play through the entire game with all settings on max without any serious issues. Yeah there is a bit of stutter here and there as with most games using Vulkan, but man this game is beautiful and worth the play through.

Metro 2033 in Proton

The Metro series takes place in Moscow after a global nuclear holocaust in 2013. Survivors now live in underground subway tunnels call Metro. But you are not the only ones lurking in the dark. Fight against Nazi soldiers, mutated monsters and carefully explore the frozen surface. Many scenes are based on survival wave-based ride-along action sequences. Be careful to not waste any ammo, it is hard to find in the Metro.

m2033-35.jpg


I'm playing through the Metro series starting with 2033. I've never finished the other two but only tested Last Light. If I remember correctly, Last Light and Exodus both have Linux versions on Steam. Unfortunately I own 2003 and Last Light on GOG, so no Linux versions for me. Metro 2033 ran perfectly with all settings on max in Proton. There was only one bug I noticed, after reloading the pistol, you can't aim down the sites unless you switch weapons. That is about it!

Nine Parchments is a Magicka inspired, linear action magic adventure by Frozenbyte! Play cooperative with 3 friends and slay monsters with various spells like:

  • Ice
  • Lightning
  • Steam
  • Death
  • Life
  • Physics
  • Shadow
Even combine these spells together to create unimaginable destruction.

https://www.gog.com/en/game/nine_parchments

I was able to play Nine Parchments with deprecated PlayOnLinux using Proton Experimental 8. It even ran with stable versions of Wine 8 staging as well. The detailed backgrounds stutter a bit on two of my computers, but it didn't affect game-play at all. The game is rather enjoyable but extremely hard too! Reviving your friends is very difficult and playing the same area over and over can be repetitive if you keep dying. Which is bound to happen!

I would love to see a native Linux version like some of the Trine games but sadly only Windows version is available.
