F1 2016 won't be coming to Linux, as sales of F1 2015 weren't strong enough

Can only speak for one person, but I prioritized buying other feral games ahead of F1 2015 (and still haven't picked it up yet) because a) I haven't 'finished' all the racing games I currently own and b) the dismal reviews on the steam page (for the game in general, not the linux port itself).

Well, I haven't had to worry about crashes with Vulkan on my GTX 560ti (thanks Nvidia, simplifying my life for me, so considerate!), but this game is still running really well via OpenGL.

Aspyr Media have teased that the 'Australian Summer' Civilization VI update will be on Linux soon

Quoting: AryvandaarI'm still considering if Civ 6 is worth it. What I heard about the game didn't make me interested. AI problems, graphics, too much simplicity etc.

I'm optimistic it will improve further, even if it isn't there yet.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

I had a decent gaming start to the year by finishing/beating/clocking Talos, XCOM:EU, Plague Inc, Mini Metro, Mirror's Edge, and Refunct. All within January. But I'm stuck on Hand of Fate now, have been since early Feb, and I can't for the life of me beat The Dealer. I would have put about 30 runs in to him so far. The curses that stack up at each dungeon level are a killer. I'm too stubborn to retire it and move on to the next game, so I'm counting on the satisfaction at getting past him making all this time spent seem worthwhile.

This gets harder and harder to do each year. Spoilt for choice!

What game are you truly thankful to have on Linux & SteamOS?

Ahem. In all seriousness, probably Rocket League for me too. Getting it going in Wine was hit and miss, and dual booting to play as frequently as I was was a pain.

Looks like mech combat game 'Dark Horizons: Mechanized Corps' is coming to Linux

Looks good! Mechwarrior 2 is still one of my favourite games of all time.

Sah good. I can imagine your opponent would have been getting nervous at around 0:39 after your second goal. Crazy to think you might have beaten him in regular time - if you'd had another second or two that last one would have gone in?!

Looks like Homefront: The Revolution might be gearing up for a Linux release now

Quoting: BeamboomWord of advice: Ignore amateur "reviews", read real reviews to make up your mind. You'll find them on the metascore sites, for example here:

See this one also for a pretty balanced view
