PayPalIt might not look like the most graphically impressive shooter around, but the WWII shooter Easy Red [Steam] is being reviewed rather well for the gameplay.
Linux support arrived yesterday, although it doesn't yet have a SteamOS icon to indicate Linux support it was announced directly on Steam.
Direct Link
The graphics really aren't great, but it has gameplay that actually looks decent enough, including vehicles which looks fun.
About the game:
Welcome to the Operation Overlord. Prepare to land on all five Normandy sectors: Omaha, Juno, Sword, Utah and Gold. Fight on the sand, by the forests, parachute on the fields and conquer the hills: Welcome to Easy Red.
In Easy Red you will fight on the most significant battles of the D-Day, from the sea landings to the capture of Caen. You will able to drive vehicles, use many weapons, command your squad as team leader or take cure of it as a medic, refill magazines from your inventory, parachute from the sky, and much more.
Buying Easy Red you will have access to all the future DLCs and updates.
I've reached out to the developer for review keys, so hopefully we will be able to give it some thoughts soon.

The biggest issue I had is that once you die/win, the cursor disappears, until you restart the whole game.
It's incredibly annoying
The graphics do indeed seem primitive but if the gameplay is fun then I have no objection :)

Quoting: OrkultusThis is what i dont understand about game development companies. This one dude, made this..which is still a work in progress mind you, but it is playable, and so far a little enjoyable. He made a Linux version. Now the larger development teams that use Unity, and argue about not having enough funding to port to Linux doesn't make sense.
My guess is the bigger the game the harder to port.
Also team politics might come into play but again all I am doing is speculating.
