I've been playing Underworld Ascendant quite a lot over the last few days. Very well optimised and it runs well on my system (AMD FX-9370, 16Gb RAM, GTX 970).
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen runs well through Proton and is another game I've got quite into.

Finally, Knightin'+ 'cos it's good fun with old school pixel action :-)

QuoteWe are also patching Ion Fury ASAP to remove all unacceptable language.

I've played through the EA release, though I haven't yet fired up the completed game. Makes me wonder what the above statement refers to as I wasn't aware of any particularly insensitive language within the game?

The developer of Streets of Rogue recently commented about supporting Linux

Slightly OT, but the website the developer is talking about is renowned for actively injecting their Windows packages with their own custom DLLs. So it's *really* not recommended downloading from that site!

This is a really professional-looking indie game, and the dev is active on reddit. Give him your money :-)

The Steam reviews are talking about ~30min gameplay at the moment. Might leave it to become a little more developed, though the price is good!

Cecconoid, an 8-bit inspired "flick-screen" twin-stick-shooter that looks awesome is coming to Linux

This is looking good and I'm having serious pangs of 80s nostalgia :-)

Space Haven Alpha 2 released, you can now build a fleet of ships

Looks very interesting. I take it this is not the same Bug-Byte who were behind Plan B and Plan B2? ;-)

Vambrace: Cold Soul is my current favourite. Version 1.05 fixes a lot of niggles I had with the balance and gameplay, and the game is faultless to play. It also looks, ahem... stunning ;-)

Also looking forward to delving back into ATOM RPG, with its new content. Also on my list to play are Hedon and Undead Horde.

Can someone tell me what all the fuss about having GOG Galaxy on Linux is? Speaking personally, I couldn't care less whether there is a client for GOG or not. Whilst clients for storefronts can be useful, I'm interested in the availability of games for Linux.

If Galaxy was to be available for Linux then what real difference is there from Steam? After all, some games even come with Galaxy dependencies.

Some thoughts on Gravel from Milestone, the 'ultimate off-road experience' tested

Picked this up last week. Do we know if the DLC will be ported as well?
