GOG are doing another ridiculously big sale and this time around it will have special "Flash Deals" every single hour. I won't note any of those, as it's a bit pointless of course, you will just have to keep checking to see if anything takes your fancy.
As expected there's some quality Linux gaming deals to be had, here's a few picks:
- Hammerwatch - 84% off (recently had a nice update)
- Crypt of the NecroDancer - 80% off
- Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive - 79% off
- Theme Hospital (for us with CorsixTH) - 79% off
- Transistor - 75% off
- Imperium Galactica II: Alliances - 74% off
- EVERSPACE - 70% off
- Tyranny - Commander Edition - 66% off
- Darkest Dungeon - 60% off
- Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap - 50% off
Also, GOG Connect, the service that allows you to link your Steam account to GOG add games to your library there also has new titles available. Current Linux titles include Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition and Toonstruck with more on the way as the week goes on.
Their sale ends September 10th, 10 pm UTC. You can see all Linux titles filtered on sale here.
It's pretty crazy how often some fantastic titles go on sale, almost every single month some of the best Linux games available have a big discount on them. Seems like every store is just looking for an excuse to one up another on discounts lately. Good for our wallets of course!
Usual reminder—see all their Linux sales and more on our dedicated Sales Page.

Quoting: baccilusWhat is the best way to get FEAR 2 to run on Linux. I bought a copy from GOG. I also have Codeweaver's crossover.
It's very easy answer. Use adamhm's wine wrappers, it works out of the box.
Quoting: GustyGhostValve has given you a run for your money.
Well, a multi-billion dollar corporation vs one guy working alone in his spare time... :p
Quoting: GustyGhostAlso do you have any wrapper for Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)?
I don't have that game
Quoting: GuestI’d definitely buy Elex if it was for Linux, but not paying 20€ for a Windows game.
Yeah, even with things running great thanks to the likes of Proton, DXVK etc. and easier than ever to get set up with SteamPlay & my wrappers I still strongly recommend that people wait for big discounts before buying any Windows-only games, in order to give developers/publishers some incentive to properly support Linux & release more native ports.

Can you please link to it and the instructions to use wine wrappers. I have never really got wine to work for me because I have never understood how the bottles and wrappers work.

I do respect, however it won't count as Linux purchase. I already picked up Witcher on Steam and I am going to play it on Linux in 14 days just to count as Linux buyer (I already finished the game 3 years ago, but I purchased it drm free outside Steam). I also bought Pillars of Eternity 2 in one of local stores (there is no port, so Paradox will receive their money). For this month I am good.
However I must admit, that after Proton release I look at Linux titles + those that run nice on Wine and start on Proton. At some point those games will run great on Linux.

I've purchased this one, with the wrapper in mind. Thanks!
I'm still thinking about Saboteur, but it looks impressive and I'm not sure if it will run well on my poor hardware (:
