This game has a native linux version. But GoG decided, once more, to punish its users for not using Steam. As such, there is a linux version, but GoG doesn't provide it. After all, who cares about linux players, right? One more thing making GoG a worse platform with time.
I won't talk about the various issues the other comments describe, but about the main thing that heavily disappointed me. You see, the game follows a story. Once this story ends, the game ends. It can be annoying for some, but I understand that choice, a strong story arc rather than a crappy endless playthrough, fine. Or at least, it would have been fine, if the game didn't force you to rush through the story. You want to do sidequests, or explore, or develop your kingdom? Nope. If you don't do the main quests quickly, a hundred negative events (to the point of getting two per day) fall on you, to force you to focus on the main quests. Alright, I'll disable the loss condition based on the kingdom's stats. Nice try, but the main quests are also timed. If you persist and don't do them, you simply get a game over. So I reached the end of the game, because I was forced to, and when I reach the final zone, I see all my side quests and such marked as "failed". No time to do them, and no possibility to do them after the final quest. I didn't even want to keep playing after that. Is it a way to artificially increase the playtime by forcing players to make multiple games, to explore the various parts of the game? Or did they simply not think about it? I don't know, but that's really enough to remove the pleasure of playing a Pathfinder game - you know, the TTRPG, which is supposed to focus on freedom and fun.
Shawden is that kind of games you think you know, but discover when you play. While the game could use some polishing, the gameplay is nice and interesting. The universe in which the game takes place could seem almost inexistant, and it wouldn't be illogical considering your character. However, listening to guards talking while walking through the levels provides great immersion and a coherent background. The more you play, the more you want to go deeper to discover what the game hides. A bit like Dishonored, but with less magic and more thinking.
