A one of a kind must play.

Get Mirror's Edge Tweaks to set all the graphics options on modern systems and Mirror's Edge Map Manager for DLC and custom maps.Also one of the best showcase of PhysX, it is not supported on Proton but if you have the hardware for it you should go through the trouble of making it work.

Its good which is why I must downvote it while PC Linux is denied despite Steam Deck working.
Uses cancerous Tencent Anti-Cheat Expert on Windows.

Most effective advertisement is finding out about an otherwise decent game by its shutdown announcement, its fun but this market is incredibly over saturated. Developers make single player focused games again, tack this on the side as bonus MP mode, would sell, this way its just a waste of everyones time.

:steamthumbsdown: BattlEye not Proton enabled.

Surprisingly fun for what it is, tho movement speed needs to be boosted, the first boot tutorial is good but in actual matches its way slower, should add more weapons too. Could run better considering it doesn't look that great and it crashes often.

As is usual with these games, get in early before it either dies or gets way too popular for its own good and gets ruined with updates, especially being NetEase, will probably have an even shorter lifespan than usual but right now its enjoyable.

No account required, AC Proton enabled.

Its a simple game, its okay for what it is, obviously the problem is with Ubisoft, who else afterall would consider releasing an early access game into 1.0 by announcing that they're taking the servers down and the game will only be playable via direct IP connection going forward, not even sure if the bot mode will work so basically you're never playing this again even though technically they have done the bare minimum to not outright kill it.
Obviously Uplay, EAC and microtransactions will stay..

Unreal Engine 5

The concept is great the execution far from it.
RetroArch is easily the buggiest emulator out of the well known ones especially, and the Steam version is even worse.
The standalone emulators should always be used for systems which have them, and sadly for the rest where you have to use RetroArch the native version is preferable to the Steam version.
Even after manually adding in the cores it doesn't work properly (at which point the convenience argument is out the window), it only starts on Linux after a fresh start of the Steam, otherwise it just doesn't open and it even broke my Steam until I restarted once. All the Saturn cores seem to be broken (or incompatible with the Steam version).
Sure it would be nice if it worked as advertised but it doesn't, the UI isn't really any nicer nor are there any exclusive features or anything which make it superior to other emulators, the only advantage especially being on Steam is the convenience but with that you get what you signed up for, its always worth it to use the standalones whenever available.
There is just always something up with RetroArch.
It just honestly sucks, it has for a long time and it still does, I don't expect it to get any better any time soon if ever and thats a shame.

Cutscenes ruined gaming
Over 70% is cutscene after cutscene after cutscene..

Just one of many mobile asset flips Tencent has been flooding Steam with recently.
Requires ACE and what is basically a Tencent account while hiding behind a bunch of shell companies to make it less obvious, just like Delta Force Hawk Ops.

This is not the Delta Force I remember playing on an 800x600 CRT.
Okay 2042 ripoff (says more about the state of Battlefield than this game) too bad it 0 effort chinese cash grab, no Steam integration, no achievements, no linux support, barely any content but good it has Tencent spyware Anti-cheat expert and requires email signup for the full game when the beta worked perfectly fine without, not much time passed since the beta so I'm really in no rush to play this again and won't just because they'd rather spend their resources thinking of new ways to ♥♥♥♥ the player just cause, and knowing its literally Tencent its only gonna be downhill from here.
