Do British Columbia next

Wow. I thought I'd spend just 5 minutes with the free sample, and here I am, 30 hours in. Drug Dealer Simulator is surprisingly addictive!

You start out as a lowly street dealer, selling to users out of your run down apartment. From there, it's a long way to the top as you build your enterprise and gain respect throughout the city.

This isn't a game about running around shooting people, because there's thousands of other games like that. The fun comes from figuring out how to maximize profit while keeping your clients happy, and running from the police!

My biggest gripe with this game is the lab controls. Where are the keyboard shortcuts? Having to point and click your way through packaging kilos of drugs gets tedious. Also, there does seem to be a point where the game runs out of content.

Also, I can't end this review without mentioning the soundtrack. The ambient hip hop is very well made and really sets the mood for the game.

Best of all, thanks to Proton, this game is suitable for Gaming on the Linux Desktop.

There's some charm to this game. What's not to like about driving around a neon USSR? The cars handle terribly, which is what you might expect of Soviet era vehicles driven at these speeds. Good soundtrack.

Unfortunately the gameplay is very bland. All the normal things you'd expect from a racing game are here. The game's one unique mechanic (colored boosts) is not very compelling.

Overall this game is off to a great start, and I see a lot of potential. Hopefully it receives a bit more interesting gameplay, and this could truly be something special.

(Couldn't get the native Linux client to work, but Proton runs it fine)

Dota 2 is natively suitable for Gaming on the Linux Desktop. Decent MOBA.

Thanks to Proton, Rocket League is still suitable for Gaming on the Linux Desktop.

Mediocre mobile game experience. Lacks depth and variety.
