Assassin's Creed Valhalla has launched on Steam and that means getting it on Steam Deck and Linux desktop is much easier, since Valve have Proton. The experience on Steam Deck is surprisingly good too.
I've a few of the others in the #AssassinsCreed series - though hadn't tried any on #SteamDeck. Something about life in the US lately just has me practicing #SelfCare by shooting Nazis in #SniperElite just to remain sane.
But I really should pick up #Valhalla ...I think I'll do that this weekend.
@iniOr Not quite. The entire game download is via Steam, as are all updates.
The Ubisoft launcher is annoying, i never like additional launchers, but I wouldn't call it in any way "lazy". The launcher does have an upside: cloud saves across basically all platforms for it.
that looks amazing. I remember when it launched and I was trying nightly vkd3d builds to make it work and the performance was terrible in my pc with several glitches and artifacts. I even recorded a video with a tutorial on how to play it on lutris at the time. Ahahah It's great how Linux gaming is evolving real fast.
@iniOr Steam being DRM or not is already debatable, since a lot of games on it are DRM free and can be run outside of Steam. Not going to debate the cloud save but, already mentioned clearly their login gives you all platform saves.
gettin' my deck this week or the next one, wondering if anyone played elden ring on it, how does it fare given that the pc version has been a mess for the longer part of its existence
