I don’t think anybody expected that the Steam Play/Proton initiative would grow that fast. Yet it’s happening. Just 2 days ago, Valve has updated their Steam Play White-List package, and here’s what new games (39!) are part of the pack now:

• 12 Labours of Hercules VII: Fleecing the Fleece (Platinum Edition)
• A Raven Monologue
• AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
• Acid Nimbus
• Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded
• Bullet Candy
• DARK SOULS™ III
• Dungeon of the Endless™
• Endless Road
• Final DOOM
• FlatOut 2
• Glass Masquerade
• Hags Castle
• I’m not a Monster
• Jamestown
• LEGO® Star Wars™ III – The Clone Wars™
• Mega Man Legacy Collection
• Mysterium: A Psychic Clue Game
• Nidhogg
• Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast
• PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition DX+
• Pathfinder Adventures
• Picross Fairytale: Legend of the Mermaid
• Poker Night at the Inventory
• Primordia
• SEPTEMBER 1999
• STAR WARS™ – Dark Forces
• STEINS;GATE
• Samorost 2
• South Park™: The Stick of Truth™
• Star Explorers
• Starless Night
• The Curse of Monkey Island
• The House of Da Vinci
• The Room
• Tiny Bridge: Ratventure
• Wuppo
• Year Walk
• Zoombinis

If I had to pick something out of this list, I would definitely highlight Dark Souls III. It’s such a major game in the genre that it’s huge news to see it white-listed.

I am also recommending STEINS;GATE. It’s not as well known to everyone (especially outside of Japan), but this is a very, very good visual novel with a strong otaku/sci-fi vibe. Very entertaining and the writing is fun from beginning to end.

They even ended up making an anime out of it, which is great, too. It has a different vibe and style, but it’s also very good. I recommend it as well.

Great job by Valve, Codeweavers and every contributor to the project. Such news are always awesome.
