Gladius is good Warhammer 40k stuff. Turn based Starcraft so you can take your time and enjoy your coffee or tea.
And it's one of the best running games on Linux I've ever seen.

The Blacksad game is quite good, though they might have overdone it a bit with the (sometimes not so) unexpected twists.
It had some minor technical issues with Proton when I played it, but nothing critical.

I honestly don't know how I've never heard of this game since it was released. First giveaway that got me genuinely excited.

I think it hasn't seen much marketing... I only noticed it during a sale too, and I would consider myself a fan of the comic series...The Blacksad game is quite good, though they might have overdone it a bit with the (sometimes not so) unexpected twists.

I can't get the Blacksad giveaway to load. I tried a few days ago and just shrugged, but still can't, no matter how many times I reload the page. (extensions disabled, cleared cache etc.). I don't have any Chrome based browsers and I don't want to.
I'm only mildly interested, but if I want this game I could get it for the full, exorbitant price of $20 on Steam. I couldn't buy it if I wanted to on GoG right now because all roads lead to the defunct giveaway (that's my point). I may look at it again some day, when I actually need a different game to play. I have games I could finish if I was bored, even.
Crap like this gives me the pox. It's Internet Explorer all over again now with the Chrome engine.

Don't think I'll be doing that again, honestly.

I found that I had to temporarily change the setting for two sites in Privacy Badger, in order to get the giveaway to work in Firefox. Don't think I'll be doing that again, honestly.
To see if I could get it to work, I disabled my "privacy" extension, and in firefox itself, I don't let the browser itself "protect" me from anything. I have "Custom" set for tracking protection with all the boxes disabled. I also have their phishing protection turned off ("deceptive content" they call it). I also have "fission" (firefox's site isolation) disabled in about:config because it has caused me problems in the past.
So there really shouldn't have been anything preventing that from working.
What I block, is unwanted crap in the first place, which automatically solves a lot of those privacy problems. Other than that, I don't like nannying software.

I would recommend the game to the fans of the comic book only. It is competently made, but has nothing really to set it apart from other games. The detective aspect is so-so implemented, the characters are meh, the gameplay is seen before done better. I completed the game recently, so at least it kept me interested enough to finish it, but it wouldn't be a waste if I didn't.
