If you're a bit low on funds, you might like to know that Steam is doing a 2016 Halloween sale with some nice Linux games on offer.
Here's some choice picks for you:
7 Days to Die - 60% off
System Shock 2 - 75% off
Oxenfree - 75% off (I've been told this is really good, so I just picked up a copy)
Layers of Fear - 50% off
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - 75% off
Mad Max - 50% off
Shadow of Mordor - 50% off
Company of Heroes 2 - 75% off
Black Mesa - 60% (only just came to Linux!)
There's plenty more, but those are some of what I think are the best deals going. Quite amazing that Mad Max is already 50% off and it has only recently come to Linux. Here's a chance for people on the fence to pick the game up cheaper, while still supporting Feral and Linux gaming directly from Steam.
I've been told great things about Oxenfree, so I've personally purchased it and I'm excited to finally give it a go, it's been on my list for ages. I've also picked up Black Mesa now it's on Linux.
What have you picked up? I do love a good sale. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

It's not Halloween-related, but I'm buying the three "Let's Explore" games for my kids since it's $2.99 for all three. That's 80% off the normal bundle, or 86% off buying them individually.
They run on Linux "natively" (the Steam version uses ScummVM) and they run very well. These games are kids exploration/learning games with lots of silly environment interactions. I'd estimate that they're good for ages 3-8.
I recently came across the old CD version of Let's Explore the Airport, got it running in ScummVM and my kids love it. I was planning on just getting the other two, but right now it's cheaper to buy all three on Steam than to buy only two.
Edit: They also run well in the Android version of ScummVM. These old point and click games work well on tablets.

In Bundle Stars Mad Max is for 7.49
But unfortunately as a Windows-only key. You can still play it on Linux, but Feral won't get any money from that sale, afaik.

My store page is properly filtering Linux-only titles ever since adding it to preferences. I wonder why it doesn't work for so many other people.
EDIT: Damn, Killing Floor 2 is cheap right now. A real shame they're dragging their feet on the Linux release.

Liamdawe, I finished Oxenfree a couple months back. It's a fantastic game. It's similar to Stranger Things, if you've watched that at all.

For those interested GOG has a some Linux games on sale in a Halloween themed sale as well. Not as many but for DRM free fans there's some good ones.
Here's a link

Me too, all of a sudden. I think they've fixed it quite recently.

Oh Liam, why do you do this to me and my wallet? :D
Insta-Buy of Mad-Max, Dawn of War II Compilation and Black Mesa. Just picked up Shadow of Mordor yesterday, should have waited another day :D
Anyway, I think I have more games then ever to finish now, the pile of shame grows ...

Expected Life is Strange to be on sale, disappointed that it isn't. No other game I want is on significant sale either. I should really pick up Metro Redux games, but I won't be able to play them before I buy a new computer anyway, so there is no rush.

I think one could ask for a refund if the game is now on sale, I don't know how long does it take to Steam to review the case though, I just did it for Mad Max because here in Argentina every dollar counts and just today I bought the game hours before the sale and still din't played it, so I will report if had any success with it.

Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux runs pretty nicely on my AMD FX8350 with GeForce 660. That's a Christmas 2012 vintage PC...
