Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden on Linux (Proton)
1Another game I got from Humble Bundle (a couple of months ago).
Neither the gameplay nor the setting are very original. The former is clearly inspired by the XCOM series and the latter is another interpretation of the classic masterpiece of the Strugatsky brothers with all the typical attributes: the Zone, the stalkers, the loot.
Still this game is worth checking out, because:
1) There aren't that many good tactical games our there.
2) Only the battles are turn-based. The exploration is real-time, which gives you different possible approaches: go in "all guns blazing", ambush the enemy or avoid the battle by sneaking by.
3) The main characters are mutants: anthropomorphic animals.
The game runs really well on high settings with the help of Proton and without any tweaks. There are some occasional FPS drops, but it's completely playable.
