Always on the look out for a good deal, Humble Store recently announced their Square Enix sale and there's some good choices for cash-strapped Linux gamers.

They do also list Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Life is Strange 2 on sale with Linux icons already (scroll down, they say Coming Soon), these are two games currently being ported by Feral Interactive.

For those curious, I did recently speak to Feral about this and they told me "Pre-release: use a Linux machine to buy the game, then install it on Linux once it's been released. This is true of Humble as well as Steam."—so there should be no issues buying it now according to their official stance.

There's a number of other top titles included in the Square Enix sale which may work with Steam Play, take a look.

Good steals. But who does not yet own those!?

Interesting, Shadow of the Tom Raider and Life is Strange 2 already appear as available for Linux.

There are also some interesting old games, Legacy of Kain, and some console remakes, Star Ocean 4/FF XII, that even though they aren't on Linux I'm highly interested on them. Although being still full head on with The Witcher 3 I'm not sure whether those are a good idea right now.

Maybe that signals that Feral is already the beneficiary of the purchase. Just as a pre-order. Could also be a mistake of course.

I would suggest you both read the article, it's mentioned ;)

Edit: -- Never mind :) --

And now for something completely different:

Let's talk about our pile of shame.

Deus Ex: MD is definitely a good grab for this price. I really like this game so far. :)

Who reads full articles nowdays? ;)
So I'm thankful for the question, it made me read the part of the article not consisting of game titles, too.

Square! Please put any final fantasy on linux. Preferably FFVII.

Me. I've only got Tomb Raider and the mobile version of Lara Croft GO.

I'd be down for VI, IX, the remaster of X, and/or XII. I do know VII runs well with Proton at least.

I played the FF7 PC version back then and I LOVED it.

Yet, while other games from my youth (NES + SNES) typically aged well graphically, FF7 is a pain to me.
I'd like to see a remake on PC/SteamOS but def not the original version.

Why doesn't Hitman GO show the Tux icon on Humble? I had to make sure before I bought it, but it definitely sports the SteamOS icon in the Steam store. Lara Croft GO was a decent diversion, I'm hoping for more of the same.

I also bought that Deus Ex game everybody used to rave about back when my GPU (and my wallet) were neither able nor willing.
