Quoting: fleskLet us know what you think of it. (Not sure if I can resist the temptation myself for much longer.) We also have Yooka-Laylee, Lobodestroyo and Clive and Wrench to look forward to. The latter looks so much better than it used to now, after the developer got some help with textures for the characters.

This feels just like Mario 64 really, just without the portal paintings. I like it quite a bit actually.

I have had a few problems with it, mostly controller related. The axis was a bit screwy with a generic PS3 controller, up down on the left stick wouldn't work but left right would, but a PS4 controller was perfect, and the touch pad actually moved the character to the left on touch :O . I switched around on the 32 and 64 bit versions, sometimes 32 would load the controller properly sometimes 64 would. I expected problems with a Sony controller on a game built for a Microsoft controller though.

The other problem I have, and still am having is sometimes the settings don't save, and some effects don't load even though they are checked to load from the launcher. Sometimes one or two startups are required to get the controller to act normal and the effect to load properly. I seen on Steam that there was a update very recently, I might go ahead and use that Steam key to get the latest version to see it that fixed anything.

The gameplay is very smooth and solid, and even difficult at times (which is a good thing for me). The main level seems like it could have been thought out a little better, but that is probably just me. It took me a while to figure out where I had to go and what the hub level was. When I figured everything out I started to explore and find some cubes. So far I have about 1.5 hours of the DRM free version played and only have three Golden Cubes. I'll probably have a few more hours by the end of the night :D .

The freeze camera, which really makes this different is a very cool feature. You can freeze your enimies or even whole platforms at a time and is very useful to get onto fast moving platforms.

I highly recommend this to any fans of Mario 64 or Mario Galaxy.

The graphics look great, they remind me of some Gamecube games.

Finally more 3d platformers :D
Just got FreezeME, now I'm waiting on some PS2 era style platformers (Ratchet and Clank style more than anything :P )

Woo! Finally got it downloaded and what a game to test out my new graphics card! So far I really like the game, I know what I'm doing all day tomorrow :P I'm having decent performance, a few stutters here and there but overall pretty smooth on ultra :D (I love this 970)

The performance is great for me. Near constant 60 FPS on my R9 270x.
Hopefully this is one of many new releases today ^_^

The only one I haven't even got to play, Raven's Cry. I heard the game was just bad in general, but never even got to check that. I seen somewhere it was an AMD problem. The first and so far only game that I have ever gotten a refund on.

Oh yeah, and Divinity... kinda wanted to play that game... months ago :P

Quoting: WhyAmISuchABeautifulPandaAre there any Tools for Linux out there that can be used to make simple games without extensive programming knowledge?

If you ever used game maker or are familiar with it, there is Enigma. It is pretty much a game maker clone written in Java and as far as I can tell, it builds native Linux executables. (Link to my brothers GoL Article here :P )

Sounds like a great idea!
Although I can't program or really make a game, I would love to see what other people come up with!
