Wednesday Madness, a quick look at some good Linux gaming deals

Might be a good idea to add links to games that have been reviewed on site

I'll quote myself from the "Max Max 50% on Feral store" topic:

I accidentially bought it Max Max a second time today on the Feral store (first time in Steam Winter Sale but didn't play it yet). So, whoever reads this comment and wants a Steam key for Mad Max – PM me and I'll send you the key. Though I am not 100% sure if the code still works after I tried to activate it and it failed because I already owned the game.

EDIT: The Key's gone now :)

Ill gladly take it, just switched to linux full time!

I quote myself from the comment to the topic "Mad Max is currently 50% off on the Feral Store":

Thanks for the hint. I bought it now.

I had no time to play it yet ... and today it is then in the 66% -sale at Steam ... *sad*:'(

A few decent deals I've spotted:

We Are The Dwarves on Humble for £3.98 (81% off)

Trine 2 on Steam for £2.09 (85% off)

Brutal Legend DRM free on GOG for £1.19 (90% off)

I bought Broforce last weekend from GOG, when it was on sale (75% off). Shame, but it isn't on sale any more. Really enjoyable platform shooter with destroyable environment - Highly recommended when it comes back on sale - or full price :P

Trine & Trine 2 are ~85% off on a semi permanent basis

Square Enix sale on GreenmanGaming

Life is Strange 3.57 GBP
Deus Ex Mankind Divided 10.3 GBP
etc...

Played Mad Max for the first time, and I must say, I'm not impressed. The graphic looks good, but all bugs and glitches what game still has, makes it annoying to play. In two hours I had two big bugs, when I had to restart whole game. Thought, it is because of linux, but no, in yotube I found many videos about similar bugs and glitches.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. While I wasn't blown away with Mad Max, I did thoroughly enjoy it. I had practically zero bugs or glitches while playing, and it was playing well for me even running at 4K resolution. Metacritic gives it a critical review score of 73% which I feel is a pretty fair result.

Also, at this price point (£3-£4) on sale, the game is an absolute bargain compared to the retail price.

Interested to know what games you have played and rate highly on Linux?

Lucky you. I have 2 main bugs: 1. sometimes game crash on loading; 2. Max sometimes fall underground. But graphic looks good for that price, that's true.

I played so far: Stellaris, Cities: Skylines, Motorsport Manager, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Master of Orion, War Thunder and Total War: WARHAMMER. From this list, only game that has some glitches on my pc is Master of Orion. Interesting part is, that main game is good, but DLC Elerian Fiefdoms main character has glitches with it's face (there is just black space instead of face). But none of them crashed so much times, like Mad Max. And those bugs are old (https://youtu.be/bXFTQBwZ80s?t=3m17s), so I guess, they never will be fixed.
