February's Humble Choice is up with a new bunch of good looking games

A lot of decent games in the bundle, but nothing I really care about. Might get it simply for high trading value.

I have long given up that we'll ever see the Act 5. This is a pleasant surprise.

Slay the Spire's fourth character to be released on January 14

Looking forward to trying the new character. Managed to beat act 3 with all three current characters, but I could beat the Corrupt Heart only with Silent, they've made the act 4 a lot harder than it needs to be.

Thanks to Proton, this was my best year for gaming on Linux so far. And the only way forward from here is up!

Always liked GOG, but sadly, even their new beta client doesn't have a Linux version. It's not likely the platform will ever come to Linux. Still, happy to add Wasteland 2 to collection.

No reason to hold grudge against this developer, NS2 supported Linux when hardly any game did. And by now, NS2 has ran its course, this sort of move is well justified.

Slay the Spire's fourth character is available for Beta testing

So, I won't even be able to play the new character, as I haven't completed the game yet. Reaching the final boss isn't that hard if you had some luck with the relics. But beating the corrupt heart is unbelievable pain, not only do you need a great deck, but also a ton of luck with the draw, as the boss is a huge damage sponge and will kill you in just few turns.

Quoting: 14Oh my. Did anyone not want Slay the Spire or Distance from last month? ;) I might need to head over to Steam Trades.

I got the bundle for Slay the Spire and it was definitely worth it. I'm thinking about maybe keeping State of Mind, the rest is trade bin material.

One of our favourite games Slay the Spire is getting even better on Linux with a new beta up

Problems that I've run into have been screen flickering and trigger buttons on my joypad not working. Oh, and the artefact that was supposed to return me to life with 50% health didn't activate during the last boss fight, that was annoying.

I too wasn't overly impressed with the game in the beginning, but it has a way of getting you addicted. Which is perfectly ok, since it doesn't do micro-transactions and other nefarious stuff.

I'm thinking about Danganronpa, game ratings are amazing, but again, these niche games with their own fan base tend to have overinflated ratings. Not sure if a Japanese visual novel is actually my thing.
