Looks interesting. There is also a DRM free version at Itch.io for those interested. I'll probably pick up a copy at one of those two palces at some point.

Been using Solus for my main system for a week or so now. Liking it so far.

I will keep my eye on things as most will. If they continue to give me a place to purchase DRM free Linux games then I will shop there but if they cease to do that then I will take my business to GOG and Itch as I already do since no one place has every game I want.

What have you been playing and what do you think?

I recently upgraded from a R9 270 to an RX 580 so I have been trying out several games that I couldn't max out with a 60+ FPS to see how they do on my RX 580. I was playing through Soul Axiom but some of the puzzles were just annoying me so I dropped it. Will be trying Dreamfall Chapters later tonight. Depending on how it runs I may try to play through it.

The developers of "Burst The Game" address the asset flip accusations and say Linux fixes are coming

Quoting: spayder26You're being a little too hard with this game, it's free and it's definitely not the worst game out there, even among paid ones.

How could we know how good or bad the game is when it crashes at launch ?

Quoting: PublicNuisanceWaiting on the Padoka stable PPA to get this but then I am also waiting on my money to get my RX 580 early next week so I got time.

Is it updated with stable drivers or unstable ?

The Frostbite engine apparently has partial Linux support but that doesn’t mean we’ll get ports anytime soon

All we can hope for is that every step like this gets us closer to companies such as EA and Ubisoft supporting Linux. Even if you don't regard their games very well the masses do and if it helps the masses to start to switch over to Linux then it helps all of us. Consistent baby steps is good with me.

Super Blood Hockey is coming to Linux

Hopefully the testing goes well because this looks good. Need more sports games on Linux that I enjoy. Hockey, basketball, baseball, etc. Not a soccer/football guy.

Vaporum, a steampunk dungeon crawler could see a Linux release

Cyberpunk version of Grimrock is what I'm seeing and I can get onboard with that. While I agree with Liam that it is frustrating to see Linux get treated like a second class citizen with only an afterthought of support we are only 1-2% of most games sales so it's tough to argue with developers who are hesitant to go down the Linux road. Hopefully it gets better with time.
