Red Eclipse: A Lightweight, Open-source, Highly-engaging FPS

The mechanics of this game really look like the draw here - and they look well done.

Gameplay & Mechanics trump graphics as long as the graphics are not as bad as Half Life 1.

This doesn't look fun. The art comes off as Gromit and Wallace and the comedy feels "try-hard".

The game-play appears confusing aswell, most games have some kind of Genre, like StarCraft / WarCraft / RTS or Tycoon, or MMO WOW 3rd person, or Halo/CoD FPS and you know what to expect.

This on the other hand doesn't feel like it fits in any Genre - it feels like a World of Goo meets Mario Galaxy/Planetary Annihilation (except with bad art) - I don't think those mechanics necessarily compliment each-other.

Scraps: Modular Vehicle Combat Released For Linux, Looks Like Fun

The Twisted Metal ist mechanics look fun.
The lack of textures isn't my cup of tea. Feels intended for ages 8 - 14.
$15? I think I'll wait for something else that fulfills my driving derby style destruction fetish.

Until then Robocraft is free and allows players to build death vehicles with guns so It's not really a untapped offering as there are contenders in the arena for my playtime.

Hyperspace Pinball Released For Linux, It's Quite Cool
30 September 2015 at 8:40 pm UTC

Quoting: NyamiouThis looks boring compared to a good old Sierra 3D Ultra Pinball. They're abandonware so you won't find them on Steam or GOG but you can find cheap CD on eBay (or download them like everyone else) and they run without any issues at all on Wine.

@OP - I think I'm a sucker for these kinds of games, I was jamming to Beat Hazard the other day and I love games like EDGE, Marble Blast, Geometry Wars and apparently Hyperspace Pinball.

Alien: Isolation Delayed For Linux

Quoting: MaelranePersonally I do not understand why they do not officially support AMD.

That would mean the contractor would have to charge the contractee more $$$. Offering guarantees in the software world is a very expensive thing to do - especially since it's difficult to calculate the scope of said guarantee and the cost to pay developers proper wages.

Also - as you can see from this delayed launch, the less promises you make the less you disappoint people - just Imagine how enraged AMD gamers would be if it ran less than equal on AMD - you think AMD users are mad now - they would be much more enraged after being promised support.

They're smart enough not to tie their own rope around their neck.

BRAWL Is A Reasonably Amusing Updated Version Of Bomberman For Linux

Is it multiplayer on a single Steam Machine with multiple controllers or does it require multiple computers.
