Here we are again to take a look at some awesome deals going on, we might have your next purchase here.
Note: Store names are links to their sales pages to see them all.
There's tons to look over, but as usual I'm going to pick a few I don't want you to miss out on!
First up, Chrono.gg have a daily deal going on for Hyper Knights. It has ~6 hours left, so you might want to act fast to get this game with 25% off.
Next up, we have the Humble Gems Bundle 2, which has five Linux games: Cryptark, Pinstripe, Slayaway, Apotheon and The Count Lucanor. There's about 8 days left on it, so you still have time to decide on this one.
Moving onto the Humble Store, we have some nice deals here too!
- Wasteland 2: Director's Cut - 75% off
- Kentucky Route Zero - 50% off
- Torment: Tides of Numenera - 30% off
Steam has a rather tasty selection too:

What awesome deals have you picked up? Let us know in the comments and share your knowledge and help your fellow Linux gamers.
(I did misread this bundle myself, assuming that I could pick up 26 games for $1, but it actually works out as ~ $0.50 per game. You choose the games you want from a big list.)
Practically everything Kalypso is on sale including the pre-release of Dungeons III is 15% off (I know, pre-release, but dungeons 2 works well on linux, and Kalypso does do a lot of linux games and I think it releases next Friday.) The recently released Sudden Strike 4 is 25% off. Project Highrise (runs on linux, no official support) is 75% off. And tropico 5 is 75% off.
Humble Store also has a lot more on sale...
Project Highrise (runs on linux, no official support) is 75% off.
Interesting, good to know about that. There's a few games like that which run on Linux but don't show a SteamOS/Linux icon ( Arma III springs to mind ). And while bringing it up, I get irritated when key-resellers (Humble, BundleStars, etc) report incorrect operating system support on advertised games.
For example, I'm scanning through the games on sale at Humble, there'll be a game which does work on Linux but Humble has incorrectly reported it as not running on Linux, and so I ignore it and move onto the next title (unless I already know about it - 'prior knowledge' - and realise the mistake).
EDIT:
Cool. I just found Project Highrise in my Humblebundle Library. I hadn't activated it because it was a Windows game. Now I know it also has a Linux port, I have activated it and added it to my Steam library. Yeah!
