Casual Adventure Game 'Grim Legends 2: Song Of The Dark Swan' Out On Steam, Our Review Of The Game
1 April 2015 at 11:40 am UTC

Quoting: FutureSutureRead the title as Legend of Grimrock 2 now being available for Linux. Can't say I am not disappointed.

Sorry to disappoint. Not sure I'd call that a casual adventure game though. :P

Quoting: fleskAnother one that I wanted to write up, but decided against when it wasn't doing so good is The Song of Seven – a Zelda-esque, story-rich puzzle adventure. They are currently at less than $6000 of their $8000 goal with a little over a day to go, but they did get a notice written up on Destructoid yesterday, so maybe that'll give them a much needed upswing at the end of their campaign.

A massive rush of pledges over the last day brought this one well past its goal, and it still has a couple of hours to go! :D

Shadowgate (2014) Point & Click Adventure Released For Linux

I played the NES version when I was a kid, but I don't think I ever got through that one. I backed the Kickstarter campaign for this game (before I stopped backing Windows game campaigns), so I started playing the game a bit yesterday and it looks very good so far. The atmosphere is exactly as I remembered it from the old game but this one seems to have mechanics in place to make the game a bit more forgiving if you want.

Quoting: KallestofelesHow in the world is one supposed to get the Linux version off the GOG? I only get windows version...

That's odd. I've sent the developer a tweet asking about it, but in the meantime you could just download them with the Dropbox links.

Quoting: FeistI was pretty depressed over the failure of "Seven Dragon Saga", that I had high hopes for:

Me too. I had planned to write up that one, but with so little time left of the campaign and so long to go to reach funding, it wasn't worth it.

Philosophical First-Person Puzzler 'The Talos Principle' Will Get An Expansion Pack This Spring

Quoting: linuxgamerCool! Like the game, first day Linux support should be rewarded.

Yeah, I will definitely pick this one up on release. Day one support is a good way to maximize profits from Linux sales.

I hadn't looked Into Deadwood before, since I'm not a fan of zombie games, but that looks very interesting.

I didn't know that was an option. That makes the game a lot more appealing to me.

Beautiful Platformer 'Pid' No Longer Heading To Linux
21 March 2015 at 4:06 pm UTC

That's unfortunate. Pid is a great game, but it's an odd mix of exploration and hard and hectic challenges that make it difficult to explore. The boss fights are some of the most unique and interesting I've experienced in a game.
