It's nearly that time of the year again, and with our first year of doing a Linux GOTY Award being a success we will be repeating it this year. So, what do you want to see in it?
That's quite a mouthful for a headline, eh? Nation Red does look quite cool, and I was going to write it off for being "another zombie thing" until I saw how well reviewed it is.
I am really quite interested in Hard West, as I love XCOM and a lot of Hard West certainly resembles it, but it's unique enough to make me want to play it. We have a new gameplay video after the release was delayed.
Pillars of Eternity is set to get even bigger in January, as the developer has announced The White March Part Two will release sometime towards the end of January.
I still think Prison Architect is a bit of a genius idea for a game, not only that but the game is actually quite good. The developers didn't stop after it quit early access either with update number 1.
FortressCraft Evolved has been on Linux for a while, but the official release now supports us properly. It was certainly inspired by the style of Minecraft, but it's a whole 'nother game.
The Last Federation, a strategy game about creating an interplanetary federation, has received its second expansion which brings new technologies and a new game mode.
Sang-Froid Developer Artifice Studios has released their outlandish space RTS 'Conflicks: Revolutionary Space Battles' on Steam, and a multiplayer demo is also available for Linux.
The developers themselves emailed both Age of Fear: The Undead King & Age of Fear 2: The Chaos Lord in for me to take a look at. They told me the games don't look like much, but offer a lot, and they were right.
If you like your silly arcade games for when friends come around then Hyperdrive Massacre might just be what you need. Fancy flying around a space-car and blowing up others? This is the game for you.
War Thunder is a pretty popular MMO that's for sure, and it had a lot of people excited when it came to Linux. It has recently been updated with some big new stuff.
RollerCoaster Tycoon World has officially be delayed until 2016 to give the developers some more time to fix up performance and features to a higher level.
Ars Technica recently ran a few Windows vs SteamOS benchmarks, and it shows what we here already know: A lot of ports have worse performance on SteamOS & Linux.
For the purposes of this review I will be concentrating fully on the single player campaign. I did have a quick peek at the DM tools but found them lacking for creating anything other than simple dungeon crawls or completely linear adventures.
gameinformer has reported that Origin PC has decided against using SteamOS for what was going to be their Steam Machine, so time to stop calling it a Steam Machine.
