Square Enix comes to SteamOS & Linux, Hitman GO: Definitive Edition released

Nice little puzzle-game so far.

It is a low-effort mobile port - but it seems to be a port of a solid mobile game. I suspect the reason the linux version got released is that someone noticed it how easy it was to do this with this specific unity game.

Looks to become the usual dlc mess modern gaming is rife with, meh

Shadowrun: Hong Kong gets free Extended Edition update

Actually, I find 'extended edition' quite descriptive: extra gaming content. The 'extended edition deluxe' had me scratching my head for a while.

Goat Simulator appears to be getting a new DLC, the trailer is good

That marketing looks to be shooting itself in the foot; I love supporting indie devs, provided they make stuff I like. Goatsim is not in that category, so the video looks just like some bullshitting, no different from aaa, to me.

I've been so happy with Devolver digital's linux output and Jotun that I just can't remember the letdowns.

Also, avoiding aaa titles for the last ten years probably also helped ^_^

Magicka 2 Now In Beta For Linux

2 annoyances: the paradox account nagging and dlc ads in the start screen. Enough reasons for me to instant refund.

(got more games than time to finish them, so I have zero tolerance for BS)

Hacking Simulator Hacknet Released, Eventually Coming To Linux
14 August 2015 at 10:15 pm UTC

Quoting: MyeulCIt's now on my wishlist (well.. Sort of). The best (imo) hacking simulation I have tried to date is uplink. Any word on how this title cimpares against it? (besides the fact that it doesnt' seem gui-based :P )

Thanks for reminding me, still need to dig in the hollywood-style-hacking-sim of choice.

Note: if you have the humble bundle Canabalt version you get a steam key!

This new version's performance is finally good enough that I can retire the c64 version I have been playing.

GOG Treat Linux Gamers To More Star Wars, Star Wars: Rebel Assault 1 + 2 Now Available

I have found gog linux releases to be excellent. So far I have not used the money back guarantee on my ubuntu 14.04 system, not even for the wine releases (in my case planescape torment).

They also don't go out of their way to break unofficial ways of installing a game on your linux system. If linux is not supported by gog for the game in question, it is very easy to extract the required data from the installation files to install your games in your linux install of dosbox/scummvm.
