Humble are back of form, sort-of, with a new Humble Indie Bundle 18 stocked full of Linux games for you to drool over.
I say sort-of, since none of these are new to Linux, some have been on Linux for quite some time. It's not always a great idea to have games ported for the HIB either, as we found out with multiple games (some still not even ported as promised, hello Giana Sisters). That said, it's actually a pretty fantastic collection.
For "Pay what you want":
Pay more than the average:
Pay $13 (about £10.06) or more for:

Oh yes, compared to the last Indie Bundles where I already owned half of the games this time I own none of them. Therefore this is an instand pick for me.

Just purchased it, but it seems Little Racers STREET is not included anymore.
Edit: Shows up as a gift (inbox)

Sure? It shows up as gift in your Steam inventory. At least it did about 2 hours ago.

Oh indeed, thanks!
I thought this will be activated with the Ziggurat key.

Very nice bundle, got it right away! I'm quite looking forward to Kentucky Route Zero.

"Season pass" on Kentucky Route Zero. It's been a year since Act IV came out, which itself took two years to make. Those are some looooong seasons!
The closest thing I can see to a status update is "Yeah it's coming!" on Twitter from March.

The Goat Simulator is not working under Linux for the moment. The main binary file is missing! :(
Created a ticket yesterday and wrote the support: The download for Windows is about 2,5 GB, Linux only 542 MB and Mac even 345 MB. All three ZIP-packages.
EDIT: Well, just had a look on this and now it seems to be corrected. :) Download now for Linux: 2,4 GB. Seems more fitting!

I'm really interested in Kentucky Route Zero and Owlboy but having so many games on the waiting list I will try to be sensible and buy them at full price by the time I can actually play them.

After having tried the games I’m disappointed by all of them (except Kentucky Route Zero which I had abandonned a long time ago already).
I have to agree. I've only played Kentucky Route Zero, Ziggurat, Windward and Owlboy yet, and only KRZ looks like it could be my taste. Owlboy has exceptional artwork and good music, but sadly that's about it. Ziggurat gives a weird sense of scale and the game mechanics are rather abstracted from the game world. Windward feels like a flash game in 3D.

Windward drops you in the game with zero explanation about who you are and what the goal is, it’s almost the same for Steamworld Heist (they tried to explain things in long cutscenes but I can’t say it helped much)I've been having a fabulous time with SteamWorld Heist, actually - I can't believe it took me this long to stumble across it. I agree that the plot is pretty bare bones, but I think all the dialogue and stuff between missions provides enough context to serve as the glue between the actual missions. And the atmosphere is quite pleasant, at least if you're not tired of steampunk stuff. Anyway, I'd personally give it a pretty glowing recommendation. Scratches my X-COM itch better than X-COM does, actually.

I have no regrets about buying the bundle. I already owned Steamworld Heist and thought it was brilliant. I was mainly interested in getting Owlboy.
Compared to a game like Hollow Knight, it really doesn't measure up. I am sad to say it, because the art style is really good and the devs obviously put a lot of heart into the game. It is not often I publicly grumble about a game, but I think this one may be rated too highly on the steam store.
Owlboy has a story for 5 year olds and annoyingly slow text and cutscenesSadly, after about 6 hours I have to kind of agree with you. The art is brilliant but the gameplay is getting increasingly annoying. It takes all the things I don't like about old games and doesn't improve them.

A Story About My Uncle and Neon Drive added to the bundle. Not bad.
