That pal in the thumbnail looks like someone on the Palworld team took a fan edit of an Egyptian themed lucario and specifically designed that pal to look just like it.
I would say almost all of them fall under the 'legally distinct but totally is' category.
The server I set up for my friends is named "Portable Creatures: Exhalation of the Wilderness" for a reason.
I read in steam reviews that the Dev is actually suspected to use genAi on Pokémon images to create their pal designs
Would not surprise me either way.
This is like a merge of Satisfactory and Ark Survival?
I thinks it’s Craftopia with Pokémon.
Same devs so it absolutely is.
With Pokemon yeah basically
...ok i give it a try on release.
It's released on steam atm, early access.
...no, actual release.
Craftopia, the company's previous game, has been in early access for four years. I don't think this game is getting a release either.
Can confirm, ran fine on my desktop machine without needing to tinker (caveat: I changed the "compatibility layer" to use proton-ge before attempting to launch it of my own initiative).
I realize this is the linux gaming sub, but it's worth mentioning that this is on Gamepass too (I still use Gamepass on Xbox even though I don't game on Windows anymore).
Really wish I could run the Windows Xbox app on Linux
I kinda do too. It's nice having the option to play Gamepass games on PC or console. Some games are just more comfy on one than the other.
Xbox cloud seems like a decent alternative when games simply don't run easily on Linux
Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.
That said, it DOES work well if you're into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.
Xbox cloud requires a controller
I didn't realize that. That's dumb.
Yeah I was pretty disappointed when I realized that. Oh well.
are there any games not running easily in linux these days?
i mean apart from games with anticheat blocking it.
Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn't play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That's just off the top of my head.
From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.
oh, most games need visual C runtimes nowadays.
i find that i have this sort of issue often with pirated games, sometimes they don't automatically install those like Steam does, but its the same fix as Windows.
you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.

I don't know what any of that means but it's not something I ever had to do with Windows.
@helenslunch @umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.
Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.
On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw
Yes I understand all of that. My point is, once again, this is additional configuration I never had to figure out with Windows.
i never had to do this for original games on any os.
windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.
I didn't pirate anything
in any case you can download it from microsoft and run it to install.
OR, to make it simpler some launchers like heroic offer an option to automatically install it, it should be under the option winetricks or similar. dunno if thats your case tho.
Yes I'm aware. That's what I said I did. The point being that it wasn't as simple as it is on Windows.
my point is it is exactly the same procedure as windows. you simply run the vcredist exe.
No it's not. It's installed and run in the background without any manual intervention or Googling.
in my experience, as stated before, this doesnt happen automatically every time on either platform.
Yeah, plenty. Look up on ProtonDB for games work Silver or lower total rating. A lot of the "borked" ones are due to anti-cheat, but there are still plenty that just don't run well. I keep a collection on Steam of games with technical issues, so I could list a few that didn't work well for me.
But there are way more that work well on Linux. It's pretty rare for a game to not just work, even if it is marked "unsupported" on Steam. But there are enough that it's an issue people will run into.
I really don't know how to feel about this game
