The game has a nice concept, but I never really felt a desire to make it through to the end. Hopefully I will one day.
There didn't seem to be any audio that played during the splashscreen. But since I haven't loaded this up on windows in a really long time. I don't know if that's how it has always been. Otherise, the audio seemed fine during the first two levels I tried.
I only played the first two levels, and watched the intro all the way through. Every thing seemed fine. No major frame drops or anything. I almost always had a stable 75 frames. And every once in a while it went down or up by 1, so nothing serious.
TL:DR; No tweaks seem to be necessary. I simply installed the game and it loaded up fine.
It was a nice little game, I only played the demo though. Reminds me a little of another indie game called Moondrop I think.
It didn't play at all without Proton. So it doesn't have native support. I believe I tried experimental, and all it did was say running. Switching to the "current" version, 8.0.3, finally got it to load up. To clarify, I've only played the demo. The demo is what worked on Proton 8.0.3.

I had some weird issues installing the game, verifying the game files didn't help. I uninstalled and reinstalled. If I understand right, the game doesn't quite have native support at this time.(12-29-2022) I tried several versions of proton, as well as a couple of GE's version. The game still refused to work without the launch options. I'm currently using Proton 7.0-5.
That being said, it appears the dev has a steamdeck and is trying to make sure the game works on their as they develop it.
As for the game itself, it's okay. I'm gonna keep it and keep playing. I like the concept of it, not sure I like the graphics. The thing that bothers me the most about this game is the movement. The character feels naturally sluggish, making it easy to hang of corners of objects.
Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Oh, Protondb thinks I don't own the game, but I do. Maybe I haven't played it long enough? The other games I bought with it and played all show up here.
Interesing concept, hopefully the game continues to get better
I originally ran this game using steam play. The dev reconfigured the game so that linux users would finally have native support. But running it that way doesn't bring over my save. I'll try to look for it. Or start over, not that big a deal.
Making another report, since things have changed a bit. I originally installed this and had steamplay running it. Someone brought it up with the dev, and they looked into it. It should no longer require steamplay to play, so it now has native support. I turned off steamplay to check, game loaded up, I even played through a day ingame. Seemed fine, if not better than what I was trying to do before. The dev hs a steamdeck, so linux support is on their mind too. So I don't think we need to worry there.

Seems like a nice pixel pizza making game.
The only issue I had was that my taskbar was still present while in fullscreen. This unforunately cuts off the text that sometimes appears at the bottom. Since I'm still new to Manjaro, I'm not quite sure how to hide the taskbar. But I was able to choose a different ratio that didn't appear distorted and allowed me to view everything.
Everything seemed fine when I ran it. I played one work day, or level. It even loaded up my save, from when I originally played it on Windows, just fine. I was ble to continue as if nothing was different.
I enjoy the game, but it doesn't really seem to be playable for Manjaro.
Seems to force it into a smaller view for a bit
64 bit doesn't launch for me. 32 bit will launch, but will crash after a while.
Not sure if it has to do with changes to Steam. But after trying the match online for the first time, all sorts of Steam windows would open. Closing them was pointless. And after my team surrendered, the game immediately crashed.
I did try someone's tinker suggestions. With them, I was able to complete a practice match from start to finish. But with those suggestions, I also played online for the first time. Which is when all the windows opening happened. A bit frustrating that the game isn't working on Manjaro. I already tried to move the .so files before Smite's update, and that didn't help. It seemed like they were already in the right spot to begin with. Maybe I'll see if I can play this through a different distro. I don't know enough to figure out why it's not working here.
Nice short game about, if I remember correctly, spending time with loved ones while they're still here.
Game loaded up fine, as if I was on windows. It even recognized that I had beat the game. There's 5 chapters, and I played the entire first chapter.
Gives vague Plant Tycoon vibes
I avoided this game for a while, wasn't sure I would like it. I realized recently that they had a demo. The demo was nice, and gave me a chance to see if this game would work. It loaded up rather quickly in the demo and full game, and immediately goes into fullscreen once loaded. I was able to put in almost 2 hours with no issues. Nor have I had issues with achievements unlocking. I look forward to playing this game to completion.
I just want to add that I'm actually on Pop Os. But I'm using the version of Steam that will install from the Pop Os store, if I'm not mistaken.
The Forest is a wonderful game. I'm glad to see it's possible for the Linux community to also play it.

Seemed just as normal as Windows
This game wouldn't get past the initial launch option after clicking play for me. I assumed, since it appeared other stuff got updated to work, that The Forest would be one of them. But that wasn't the case. So I came here and chose some launch options from an Arch-based distro. And it worked. Game didn't seem to go below 80 frames while I was playing on someone's server. And I believe I had most, if not all, of the settings on high. Audio seemed the same as on windows, and I could hear other players' mics just fine.
