The DRM-free store GOG have recently put up another two Weekly Sales, both running until September 30th and there's some quality Linux gaming to be had for cheap.
In their Paradox Sale for Linux you can find:
- Shadowrun Returns - 75% off
- Shadowrun Hong Kong - Extended Edition - 75% off
- Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut - 50% off
If you're a little confused as to why they're in a Paradox sale, it's because the developer Harebrained Schemes was actually acquired by Paradox Interactive back in 2018.
As for the other Weekly Sale going on GOG there's multiple good titles to look at including:
- Convoy - 75% off
- Don't Starve - 75% off
- Sundered: Eldritch Edition - 75% off
- Bionic Dues - 74% off
- Ziggurat - 50% off
- Tangledeep - 35% off
There's also various DLC for different games available and on sale too, so perhaps a chance to complete your collections. Both Don't Starve and Ziggurat are great, well worth picking up.
If you do pick any up and you enjoy them, do come back and let us and other readers know.

People that like fast fps, rogue-like and Heretic ambiance, make yourself a favour: try yet Ziggurat for less than 7€

And yet there is still no regional pricing.
Ziggurat costs half on Steam at full price than 50% off on Gog for me for example.

I get that this may be relevant to some (or a lot) of your readers, Liam, but I still don't personally like that you share and suggest buying products from GOG given their history with being transphobic on multiple occasions on social media. I don't want to start any argument or the like, but that's just my thoughts. (Won't stop me from following and liking GOL though, you do good stuff regardless.)The person responsible for the tweets was fired by GOG.

I don't play many roguelikes, but from what I see it looks to be a genre that is really well-served in Linux.
I should give a good try to Bionic Dues someday (it's been sitting on my Steam library for a while). Even though it is a bit outside my usual interests, Arcen Games always makes stuff that is absolutely unique and mixes a lot of different ideas and genres (even if sometimes a bit wonky). A shame they had to downsize a lot (as of now I think it is only Chris, with a few old staff freelancing once in a while).

Are you sure that you are allowed to share that information. I got the impression that it had been rather hush hush and GOG refused to give out any information about it.
Spoiler, click me
Anyhow, I got the impression that he wasn't specifically transphobic but rather offensive all around. I've seen several threads where he insulted and made fun of new customers, but I don't think that was deliberate, either. Just naive.

Tangledeep is great. It's one of the few real roguelikes that has animations which makes it stand out and IMO more accessible. The music is excellent. Caveat: It's made in Unity, so you might need LC_ALL=C if you use a language that has ',' as decimal separator. I'm using the Steam version downloaded through SteamCMD and that version lacks a start script, so if you have 2500 JP instead of 250 JP after character creation, you've hit the same problem.

I might double dip on Shadowrun Hong Kong - Extended Edition because I already have it on Steam. Why? Because I really, really liked Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut in spite of a couple annoying things throughout the game. (And I already double dipped that one. :))

I had heard that, but hearing it from a reliable source like you is relieving to know- I still haven't entirely forgiven GOG, given that they didn't fire that person until the 3rd time they posted something so horrific, but I am more okay with people mentioning GOG now. Thank you for confirming what I had heard, though.
Googling for it, I found this...
