To the moon and A bird's story are worth every cent (and much more). Great story, nice atmosphere, great music, ... I am eagerly waiting for the new game that should be there in a few months

I only had time to play the first levels, but it's quite funny so far and works without a problem :)

Moebius: Empire Rising adventure game finally arrives on Linux & SteamOS

Well, it has a demo, so I will at least take a look at it :)

EDIT: the demo is only windows/mac at the moment…

Sunday chat: what games have kept you busy with week?

Not much time to play this week, but I did catch up in the end buying on-sale (and completing) Firewatch :)
Also a few tries at No thing level 7.

Tomb Raider released for Linux, thoughts & port report included, the first Linux game to use TressFX

Release on my birthday :) That's good timing!

For people using VPN (I leave an openvpn connection to my server), the game will crash on start if you have it running:

Workaround for now: disable your VPN when playing!

90 minutes of play time already in, and so far quite good on Ultimate with a GTX970, only a few occasional slow downs in some scenes (mostly with multiple humans - all this hair must really be cpu-intensive, but looks nice)

Steam is having a whopper of a sale right now

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) appeared with a Linux/SteamOS icon just in time for this sale :)
Download in progress!

Company of Heroes 2 patch released for Linux

At least for Linux, it should no longer crash at start if you have a VPN interface :) (until recently, I only coud play it after changing the network interfaces)

A big Steam sale is now on, get some cheap games for Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: enzEuro Truck Simulator 2 – Scandinavia. I was waiting for a sale because I found 17.99€ a bit overprized for an extension, but 8.99€ is a fair price. ETS is a great game. I'm already looking very forward to American Truck Simulator.

Indeed, expensive for a DLC, but it almost feels as a new version compared to ETS2! At this price, it got in my basket along with broforce and Star Wars KOTOR 2 :)

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut Released, Looking Good For Linux
17 October 2015 at 7:26 am UTC

(also posted on the inxile forums)
It crashed for me before the logo video at start (nvidia with binary drivers, no pulseaudio)
It is now running fine from me after removing ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpulse* files in my Steam install, probably mono trying to interact with missing system pulseaudio if it finds its library?
Anyway I had only played a few hours on the original WL2, then waited patiently for this Director's cut edition! Now it's finally time to roam the wastelands :)

Valve Looks Like It's Removed The SteamOS Icon For Games That Work On Linux, But Not Perfectly On SteamOS

I understand it for Evoland (and probably "games" like Settlers Online), it is a pure Flash game, and only works out of the box on Ubuntu systems with Google Chrome 32-bit installed.
For the others it's back to editing the configuration file to point to a (manually downloaded in some cases) 32-bit libpepflashplayer.so, so indeed not very Big Picture-user friendly! Plus I am not sure SteamOS is allowed integrate Google Chrome directly.

I'm all for quality control here from Steam, especially as we can still download and tweak and play the faulty games! I completed Evoland, but I was disappointed about its Linux "support"
