This looks like my sort of game, I have all the Penumbra & Amnesia games, as well as Soma, Layers of Fear & Outlast, another game that's designed to give me nightmares? count me in. :D

ps I forgot to add White Noise 2 as well, I love good scary games. :D

Quoting: Crazy PenguinWiiU has a bigger market share then Linux :(

WiiU has sold ~14 Million Units and at the moment we have currently only ~2 Million Linux Players on Steam.

Puts things into perspective, doesn't it? :(
Sure does.

Quoting: iskaputtCan this be bought on steam and then played without the steam client? Nothing 32-bits to ever touch my system.

Why would you then buy it on Steam? The Humble Bundle Store has the game, and I assume it is downloadable without Steam (it usually is).

Otherwise you can use alternatives to Steam, like itch or Lutris or some other that supports 64-bit natively.

Quoting: HoriIs this game something like OpenArena / Quake ?
I've got it in my wishlist and the Summer Sales are approaching... and I see that people in this community are quite excited about this game so I feel like I have to have it too. :D
It is not quite as fast as Quake. Think Black Ops multiplayer with classes thrown in.
Quoting: razing32Hmm , if the summer sale is coming I might just buy it.

Does cross platform multiplayer work ?
Works perfectly

Sorry, but have to reject the proposal. I will never buy a game from Steam™. :(
So, I will ignore the poll as both of the answers are unsatisfactory.
Oh but its not just steam. Very soon we are entering Greenman Gaming, Itch.io and maybe GOG if this gains enough momentum:

On To-Do list - there are already other storefronts, but they are down the line, due to how few of us there is heh. 99% of them DRM-free. =)

Victor Vran: Overkill Edition (original + two new DLC) delayed until June 6th

Victor Vran is one of the very few games I've actually played right to the end, it's a shame Lemmy isn't around to see himself & his band immortalised in the game. I'll be buying both DLC as soon as I can & I'll raise a drink to Lemmy while I play. :D

All very welcome improvements. I'm specially looking forward to the queue join system and being able to join a game while spectating it. When I start playing, most of the times, servers close to me are either empty or full so I have to spectate them first to see who leaves, and when somebody leaves, I have to quit the server, try to join in as a regular player which wastes a lot of time.
I also like to see new maps and new skins for both soldiers and guns. Hope they do something about the declining player base too. Maybe make it for free for a week.

Quoting: EhvisSolid 100 fps, so I personally don't need it. I hope it brings in more players though. If anyone want to trade skill for FPS, I'm all ears! :D

Vulkan may bring a hefty input lag boost regardless of your fps, so this is good news for everyone. ☺️

Just because you want to experience a driver API?

This game supports all the graphical APIs. If it had a benchmark option I would buy it just to make comparations.

Quoting: salamanderrakeGlad I don't care about multiplayer with this game, but this is some bull shit, all the time its Linux and Mac multiplayer, no windows, thats what kills the chances in some games picking up on Mac and Linux, like with Arma3.
It's not bullshit. Different maths libraries make cross-platform multiplayer impossible because matches would quickly become out of sync. This will always be a problem for games that were built for Windows first and ported to Linux second. The only way around it is to use a cross-platform maths library, but Windows-only game houses don't think of that sort of thing and use whatever is built into Windows.

ESSENCE, a first-person non-violent exploration adventure arrives on Linux, Vulkan support possible in future
By Adam_eM, 15 May 2017 at 10:18 pm UTC

Damn, it looks like linux is starting to suck again in terms of gaming... I just bought it, and all I get is a black screen with a pointer (and game music in background). I know it says early access, but anyways... It's so frustrating. Worms W.M.D., Robocraft, Dirt Rally and a bit earlier, even the Rocket League stopped working properly... and now, the ESSENCE :(
