    Open Pandora's Box and all Hell breaks loose...
    Monsters invade New York and you are responsible, but in this single act of foolishness you have acquired supernatural abilites. Use your powers along with an arsenal of military grade weapons to save the world or destroy it... you choose.

    Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring and optimizing Legendary in Linux with PlayOnLinux.

    Note: This guide applies to the Steam version of Legendary. Other versions may require additional steps.

    Tips & Specs:

    Try SteamPlay before using this guide as Valve now uses a fork of Wine called Proton and should run most Windows games.

    Conclusion:
    Since Legendary doesn't have a launcher or very many video options... there are some serious stutters in the beginning sequences due to the huge amount of animations, scripted events and graphical glory. But after that it runs really well on my GeForce GTX 1060.
