Steam Next Fest - February 2023 edition brings lots of demos
8 February 2023 at 10:29 pm UTC

Quoting: whizseLinux native and Deck-ready.

Yes, they don't advertise the Linux build of Coven on the Store Page but it's there and a blast to play! The game is a little too dark by default so I push the brightness slider all the way up, but aside from that I'm enjoying hacking the bad guys and eating corpses.

Looking forward to the full release

I played this game back when it was simply Gene Shift, but apparently it's a bit different now to the game that I remember! I'm sure I'll give it another try at some point.

Mystery adventure Kona II: Brume gets a Linux demo ready for Steam Deck

Quoting: morbiusGood games guide you towards what they want you to discover. In Kona, there is a magnet that you don't know that you need, hidden behind a house that you have no reason to go around back. That's just bad game design.

I disagree. Some games encourage and reward exploration. If all the player has to do is follow the game's lead then it doesn't seem much of a game to me.

Back in the 80s my friends and I would spend hours trying to figure out something obscure in a game until we got it right. The games were often short but frustratingly difficult, but we found that rewarding

Mystery adventure Kona II: Brume gets a Linux demo ready for Steam Deck

The original game was excellent and the hour-or-so that I've played of the demo of Kona II looks good so far. Sadly, I've been experiencing a few CTDs whilst using the Linux build, though the game works excellently in Proton.

I have two Boss Cells and the regular game gives me enough pain. The Boss Rush can wait for a while :-)

Quoting: Liam DaweSeagulls are the true enemy of the people, I agree.

I once had a seagull sh*t on my fish and chips. I hadn't even taken a bite!
