Humble are doing a pretty good bundle once again with the The Humble Daedalic Bundle 2018 that has some good Linux games. There's a few non-Linux games too, so I will leave them out.
For pay what you want, you will get:
- Caravan
- Deponia: The Complete Journey
- Anna's Quest
If you decide to pay more than the average, they will give you:
- Silence
- Deponia Doomsday
Finally, if you pay at least $12 (approx £8.96) you get the excellent Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, a game that's really quite good and the last patch improved performance dramatically. They will also give you $2 wallet credit if you've subbed to the Humble Monthly.
Overall, that's not a bad bundle at all. Check it out here.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
That's a great bundle ... if I didn't already own every single Linux game in it!
Apparently, I really like Daedalic :)

Quoting: hummer010That's a great bundle ... if I didn't already own every single Linux game in it!I used to, when they still made P&C adventures. Oh well, I like them for their continued Linux support and some of the stuff they publish these days is decent too. From the list above I got the Deponia games (of course!) and Caravan. I hear that Shadow Tactics is really excellent, just not my cup of tea. I like it laid back and relaxed ...

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is great but it's broken for me right now.
I'm on linux mint, nvidia propietary drivers. The game crashes randomly while playing and it crashes my pc too. The logs show nothing.
I tried the steam forums but there was no answer from the developers (nor did anyone else). It seems like Mimimi (the developer) is an extremely small team and can't offer customer service. For that they sent you to Daedalic's support. I'm waiting for their help, let's hope they get back to me.
Not sure if it will work with newer nvidia drivers, I haven't updated in a while.
Other than that the bundle is great. I really liked Anna's Quest and the first Deponia game (the second and third not so much).

Yeah, these guys are great Linux game developers, the problem is just that I don't like old school adventure games.
And this bundle is also the best and the cheapest way to get Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, but again, I'm not a fan of Commandos/Desperados games, I like my strategies turn based.
They are really cool, but they just don't scratch my itch.

Quoting: morbiusAnd this bundle is also the best and the cheapest way to get Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun…
It is not always true (like, for me, it is cheaper on GOG and Steam due to regional pricing which "Humble IGN Inc." lacks for obvious reasons), but the real question is…
Does it have v2.2.2f on Humble account or the developers dropped support there as well as on GOG?

Do fetch Anna'a Quest then! It's such a nice, slightly dark but still lovely story... (Be prepared for minor bugs.)

Witch It is also a good deal, its developers are preparing a linux build for it.

This is the version reported in the files: 2.2.10.F.Linux.2018_04_13_1755 r2753. Doesn't work for me though. It tries to search for different controllers and then aborts. The real culprit is probably some missing 32-bit library that isn't mentioned in the log and I don't want to examine the issue further at the moment. So be warned - some tinkering might be required.
BTW, it was uploaded June 4th so maybe they have recently updated the GOG version too?

Thank you! It would appear GOG also just recently (i.e. today) got this update! But your warning has been noted.
As we know, "Humble IGN" has almost zero quality control and support which, coupled with its overblown prices, makes no reason to get the game there. GOG, on the other hand, times and times again demonstrated that it will not stand up to Linux users should a developer abandon Linux version (e.g. with "Sudden Strike 4" and lack of 1.08 update). And this particular developer have just demonstrated its inclination to do so (next time we might not be so lucky and the update will not show up).
So… I have my grave doubts even current 50% discount justifies the purchase. Better wait and see what happens in the next several years and get it dirt-cheap (and preferably, even cheaper :D ).
