The version on-sale digitally is the enhanced release, which someone people don't like. The GOG version does come with the OG release. |[http://www.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_enhanced_edition GOG]<br/>[http://store.steampowered.com/app/228280/ Steam] |[[File:Baldurs Gate Linux screenshot.png|360px]] |- |[[file:Baldurs Gate II Shadows of Amn PC cover.jpg|150px]] !Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn |RPG |You control a party of 6 characters, each with their own extensive personalities. If you carry both Good and Evil NPCs in the same group, or if you heckle them, they will often leave or try to kill you/each other. High charisma generally avoids more extreme reactions, however. D&D rules are in effect, giving you the option to choose from almost any fantasy class or multi-class. A pause feature allows for perfect management of the 6 (or fewer) characters in your control. There are well over 100 different spells and 20 levels in the original, and more in the expansion. The version on-sale digitally is the enhanced release, which someone people don't like. The GOG version does come with the OG release. |[http://www.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_2_enhanced_edition GOG]<br />[http://store.steampowered.com/app/257350/ Steam] |[[File:Baldurs Gate II Shadows of Amn Linux screenshot.png|360px]] |- |[[File:Dins Curse PC cover.jpg|150px]] !Din's Curse |RPG |If you enjoyed Diablo/Diablo II, you'll love this game. A dungeon crawler with randomly generated towns, dungeons, NPCs and quests. Skill trees, hybrid classing, stats, all the good stuff. Also features co-operative LAN and online play with NO PLAYER LIMIT AT ALL. Yes, this is a game from 2010 and yes the graphics are fucking shit. PLAY IT. | [https://store.steampowered.com/app/217290/Dins_Curse/ Steam] |{{External Image |URL=https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_1080p/tguhbqkluozmhqhqu90z.jpg |thumb=https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_screenshot_med/tguhbqkluozmhqhqu90z.webp }} |- |[[file:Icewind Dale PC cover.jpg|150px]] !Icewind Dale |RPG |(See Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn and PlaneScape: Torment) You have the ability to custom create your entire party. While this makes for a fun combat group, it takes away the unique character personalities that are present in other Black Isle games. The Icewind Dale series are purely combat oriented, forget about a memorable story or great dialogs, what counts here is to clean the dungeons of hundreds of beasts. The version on-sale digitally is the enhanced release, which someone people don't like. The GOG version does come with the OG release. |[http://www.gog.com/game/icewind_dale_enhanced_edition GOG]<br />[http://store.steampowered.com/app/321800/ Steam] |[[File:Icewind Dale Linux screenshot.png|360px]] |- |[[File:Lisa PC cover.jpg|140px]] !LISA |RPG |A side-scrolling RPG where you play as a middle-aged martial artist called Brad on his quest to rescue his kidnapped adopted daughter in a brutal post-apocalypse where women have become extinct. The story starts dark and quickly descends into a tale of human misery. Notable for having up to 30 characters that can be recruited into the party, plus containing horrible moral choices. Also has a DLC ending called LISA the Joyful which essentially concludes the story. |[http://store.steampowered.com/app/335670/ Steam] |[[File:Lisa PC screenshot.png|280px]] |- |[[file:Planescape Torment PC cover.jpg|150px]] !Planescape Torment |RPG |Widely regarded as THE BEST RPG ever made. This is a very dark, story driven game. D&D rules are present, using the Planescape setting, with an amazing multiverse world where Good verse Evil blended with Law verse Chaos: featuring philosophy, existentialism, demons, angels, order and chaos beings, etc. (See Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn and Icewind Dale for more game style details.)Although this game focuses more on the RPG/dialogue part and a bit less on the Action/Combat, the combat sections are still awesome like in BG I&II, featuring even "cutscene spells" ala FF summons. Features a wide varied cast of colorful and unique companions even for a D&D adventure. The music, writing and story in this game are objectively THE BEST of any other RPG. Period. Must Play for any D&D/RPG fan. Also recommended for Fallout fans. (same team) |[https://www.gog.com/game/planescape_torment_enhanced_edition GOG] |[[File:Planescape Torment Linux screenshot.png|280px]] |- |[[File:Shadowrun Returns PC cover.jpg|150px]] !Shadowrun Returns<br />(series) |Tactical RPG |A cool indie (kickstarted) tactical RPG series based on the popular sci-fi / fantasy tabletop game. In a not very distant future, magic has returned to the world. Humans now live alongside elves, trolls, orks, and dwarves - and all struggle under the power of the megacorporations. |[https://www.gog.com/game/shadowrun_returns GOG]<br />[https://www.humblebundle.com/store/shadowrun-triplepack Humble]<br />[http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/532/ Steam] |[[File:Shadowrun Returns PC screenshot 2.png|360px]] |- |[[File:Silver PC cover.jpg|150px]] !Silver |Action/RPG |There's a bad guy called Silver who's kidnapped your wife right in front of you, and it's your job to get her back, and what better way than to kill every bad guy in sight using swords and magic? This isn't your average Action RPG. The controls based on mouse movements and button combinations makes it just that much better. As you can tell it isn't the story that is the drawing-point but rather the lovely characters, Fat Bob, and the enjoyable gameplay. Also on the Dreamcast. |[https://www.gog.com/game/silver GOG] |[[File:Silver PC screenshot.png|280px]] |- |[[file:The Bards Tale PC cover.jpg|150px]] !The Bard's Tale |Action RPG |Word of a beautiful princess imprisoned by an evil sorcerer comes to a wandering bard. Could it be that you are the chosen one? While that may have sounded cliché, this game has a great sense of humor that twists it all around: the bard (voiced by Cary Elwes from "The Princess Bride") is a sardonic sleaze who keeps making trouble and butting heads with everyone, including the narrator. Also, there are several musical numbers. The RPG part is completely streamlined: you do gain experience to level up and learn new skills, but there is no item management - when you pick up a better weapon or armor, the old one is replaced automatically, and anything else is converted into coin. Dialogues are also simplified, you only choose between nice or snarky. Combat is pretty nice: rather than a team, you use music to summon magical creatures to assist you. |[https://www.gog.com/game/the_bards_tale GOG]<br />[http://store.steampowered.com/app/41900/The_Bards_Tale/ Steam] |[[File:The Bards Tale PC screenshot.png|280px]] |- |[[File:The Binding of Isaac Rebirth PC cover.jpg|150px]] !The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth |Roguelike |Play as a naked kid, shooting his tears at various monsters to kill them. Hard as balls, and the insane amount of items and characters doesn't help either. Ignore the dlcs. |[http://store.steampowered.com/app/250900/ Steam] |[[File:The Binding of Isaac Rebirth PC screenshot.png|360px]] |- |[[File:The Witcher 2 PC cover.jpg|150px]] !The Witcher 2 |Action RPG |A fantastic follow-up to the Witcher that's so vastly polished over its predecessor that anyone who wasn't paying attention to the writing in the first game would say this was made by a different developer entirely. The gameplay mechanics somehow manage to be as intuitive as they are counter-intuitive, and the plot as well as the decisions it throws at you carries a sense of moral ambiguity that's a far cry from the "darth hitler or ghandi claus" paths that are usually presented in most games. Ubersampling recommended if your PC is from the year 2027. Recently a "2.0" patch was added that added some pretty neat new features and at the same time fixed a lot of shit that wasn't working (except for parrying). Even if you already own the game and didn't like it first hand you might feel like giving it another try. You might enjoy it this time around. |[http://www.gog.com/en/game/the_witcher_2 GOG]<br />[http://store.steampowered.com/app/20920/ Steam] |[[File:The Witcher 2 PC screenshot.png|360px]] |- |[[File:Wasteland 2 Directors Cut PC cover v2.jpg|150px]] !Wasteland 2: Director's Cut |RPG |From the producer of the original Fallout, this is what a modern Fallout would be if they made it for the old fans instead of casuals: a top-down, turn-based tactical RPG with a fuckton of possibilities and immense room for customization. |[http://www.gog.com/game/wasteland_2_directors_cut_digital_classic_edition GOG]<br />[https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/wasteland2_classic_storefront Humble]<br />[http://store.steampowered.com/app/240760/ Steam] |[[File:Wasteland 2 Directors Cut PC screenshot.png|360px]] |} [[Category:Linux]] [[Category:PC Games]] [[Category:Computer]]
