Intel Haswell now supports OpenGL 4.5 with Mesa-git on Linux
17 January 2017 at 5:42 pm UTC

I've got an i7-4700 in my laptop, and I'm regularly surprised how well the HD4600 graphics can perform, even at 1080p. I do have a GTX765M in there as well for the more taxing games, but I often choose to play on the Intel graphics, just because my laptop stays cooler that way.

Quoting: GuestFree app to discourage native games now has better support for app by evil megacorp that hates native games...

Alternative POV: A free app that allows people to switch to a new operating system without completely losing their previous investment.

QuoteThey also note "Origin, Uplay, GOG Galaxy and many more" have much better support in this release, which I imagine will be useful for plenty of people.

YES! Origin is usually a PITA to install.

I fought with Origin last week, and finally gave up. I'll have to update, and try again!

Some thoughts on Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, the real-time tactics game

It just might be the game of the year for me. I had heard nothing about it before release, so it was a total surprise to me. It's a bit pricey too, but absolutely worth it in my opinion.

Performance wise, I've had the same experience as you: Great to good, and zero crashes.

STASIS, the amazing looking point-and-click, sci-fi, horror game is being actively worked on for Linux

That's great news! I hope the Linux version makes it to GOG as well. STASIS was one of the bonuses during the last GOG sale! I hung onto it in hopes of a Linux version.

It's always nice when they finally get added. There are a few more existing Linux ports that I'd like to see on GOG:

Saints Row 2 & 3
Expeditions: Conquistador
Metro 2033 Redux
Tropico 5

InXile Entertainment announced Wasteland 3, will use crowdfunding on fig
28 September 2016 at 9:07 pm UTC

Quoting: DrMcCoyThat reminds me: I still need to play Wasteland 2. I started it, got about half-way, then suspended it for a bit (RL, other games) and suddenly, there was a Director's Cut. So I need to restart from scratch there. :)

This is pretty much me too, although I was probably something less than half-way. I installed the Director's Cut after reading this...

Now they just need to get GOG friendly, and start releasing the Linux versions on GOG!

We Happy Few, an action/adventure game set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city will hit Linux in Early Access
15 June 2016 at 3:31 pm UTC

I am so glad I backed this one on Kickstarter! It looks fantastic! I don't really care about Early Access either, but Linux during Early Access should mean a day one Linux release.
