Worked flawlessly for me, with good performance all the time, no bugs or glitches at all.
OS: Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon Edition
Hardware: AMD Phenom II x4 CPU + 8GB RAM + AMD RX580 GPU

I don't usually like this genre (rogue-like/survival adventure platformer/...) because I usually have awful reflexes. Yet there is something unexplicably comfortable about the controls in this particular game that made just a little less incompetent at it (at easy settings... don't worry if your better than me, it can certainly be a challenge).

What really clicked for me is the ambiance!!! The story, the voice acting, the images of the lost eldar creatures... despite in a sense these being non-essential to the gameplay, it is those details that stay in the back of my mind giving me the creeps while playing and even afterwards... these glimpses of evil, of fates worse than death are all slowly but surely oozing out of this game (like from a primal, unconscious, C'thulhean dream). Amazing how game art done right like this can tell a great story even though so little of it is actually spoken out to you.


There just enough puzzle aspects around the game to make it interesting, but it isn't a puzzle platformer. There is also fate-changing choices to be made and you'll fell the pain of the consequences in your own skin as these choices are made. This is actually the only aspect of the game I didn't completely enjoy... Despite a lot of early signs that there are such choices to be made, I have accidentally chose one path instead of another, because there is no clear forewarning on how the choice is made once it is available...

Without spoilers, I can say that once you have collected enough ancient power, be careful not to break anything important by mistake, there is no dialog to ask you if you're sure that is what you want.

Well... I'm off again now, without a doubt to a path to complete corruption and decay, that destiny chose for me ;)
