Probably the best gaming news this year :) This has the potential to become an ever green like Battle for Wesnoth!

The mental destruction heavy game 'Brigador' had another revamp recently

Excellent game, I just wish I wasn't stuck on one level in the campaign that is just too damn hard :(

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War is coming to GOG and you can pre-order now

Quoting: GuestOnce I can actually download a version that runs for me, aka linux, I'll buy.

I've heard this a lot "Face a challenging AI", I have my doubts. Hope its at least good enough to practice/enjoy.

This mostly looks like a re-skin of Pandora ( http://pandora.proxy-studios.com/ ), and I remember the enemies to be quite tough in that game. But always hard to say how much of that is good AI and how much computer cheating ;)

Great Linux games on Steam currently under a fiver

Quoting: buenaventuraBuying a hundred steam links just to disassemble and get rare earth metals and copper out of it to sell might make a profit with that price! ;)

Edit: or perhaps to build something with? Let's get creative, what could we build out of one hundred steam links? :D One very very long steam link from GoL HQ to my house? :D

Maybe you can get a cluster running like with the RasberryPIs: https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/cluster-computer-raspberry-pi-3/

But IMHO, with the crazy shipping fee (11€ to Germany) they are probably still making a profit on low volume orders...

Beyond Blue is an undersea exploration game from the developer of Never Alone

Quoting: JuliusBoth endless ocean games should run fine with the Dolphin Emu on Linux ;)
The challenge in that case is to get Dolphin EMU running.

This is getting a bit off topic, but at least on Ubuntu the Dev. PPA works exellent. In my experience definitly one of the easier Emus to get running :)

Definitly looking forward to that! Seems a bit more like ABZU though?

@Shmerl: As a backer I somewhat recently got an email about some Aquanox multiplayer test or so if I recall correctly. Taking much longer than expected I guess but still on track?

Sword fighter 'Blade Symphony' has delayed the next update that was due to get Linux support

Looks really cool, but does anyone know how much single-player content is in there? From the reviews it looks like online multiplayer is deserted... but if there is at least a interesting campaign with bots?

The Signal From Tolva has a free expansion with a new Polar Region to explore

Quoting: GustyGhostIf anything, this game does not need more land. It was boring enough that I couldn't force myself to finish. Signal from Tolva feels less like a game and more like a game engine sample project. Sorry to be so negative.

Good for you, as the ending is also extremely disappointing :(

It has some good sides to it this game, but overall it left me wondering why the story and overall game-play seemed very much half-a**ed... 3/10 I would say overall, but it could have easily been a 7/10 with a bit of extra effort put into it. Adding more land definitely isn't what is needed though :(

HTC Vive PRO HMD pre-orders open, standard Vive has price drop

Quoting: mike44The Samsung Odyssey has the same resolution but about half the price.

But has absolutely no Linux support and very little chance of ever getting it (being a Windows Mixed Reality headset).
