Quoting: GuestIs there any possibility to share some steam keys with other Linux users? Not that I'm expecting much, but I would rather give away a key if I knew it will be used on Linux or steam play.

Hi. There are a number of ways forward for sharing steam keys on GOL:

You could just post the key, and the first person or automated bot to claim it would get it. (Problem is that automated bots might not be Linux users.)

You could mention the games that you have spare keys, and ask that people Private Message you, and then decide if you want to give to one of those people. (Most regulars on here are Linux gamers, and would claim the game as a Linux title on Steam, as you prefer that.)

You could hand over the key to Liam, and he could then pass it on, maybe to a GOL supporter.
- The key could become a prize in a competition on the site, either random winner or chosen winner.

Finally, you might find someone who has a steam key that you want, and you could use it as the basis for a swap.

Hope these ideas help you make up your mind.

Unlike Prodeus retro-style FPS reviewed earlier today, this does not look good.

For a retro-style game, I think it looks very good indeed. They hint that the game is very customisable in their developer chat section, and I'd probably dial-down the amount of blood if I was playing.

Quoting: ShmerlSteel Rats is now 90% off on GOG...

Indeed. I think I'll grab it and fingers-crossed for the Linux version being put on the GOG store.

I consider myself somewhat conscientious when it comes to writing Steam reviews. I don't write reviews for the majority of titles I play, but the special few tend to get a decent review. These are usually favourite titles, although there might be times when a game has been so bad that I've reviewed it negatively. Statistically speaking, approx 11 reviews per 200 games played = 5.5%. Noting that Chasm's 500 reviews out of 7000 kickstarters is 7.1%.

I'm liking the art style and the new races, i.e. not all focussed on the usual elves, dwarves, orcs. At this early stage, hard to see how the game will play. From it being based on a board game and hexagonal floor tiles, I'd say it'll be turn-based, and probably not too different from Warhammer Quest, Chaos Reborn, Tales from Candlekeep.

I'm liking the look of the game play on this. My first thought is the similarity to Broforce game (which I love). But then, this title allows you to perform all sorts of sneaky and stealth-based attacks on the enemies, changing weapons (e.g. choosing to use grenades for maximum impact), throwing bricks to draw guards' attention elsewhere, silent attack behind one enemy so that other guards aren't alerted. As such, using strategy can get you further in the game rather than just pure gun-play/joystick skills.

I guess I'm going to have to revisit their earlier titles at some point (Gunslugs and Gunslugs II) where I already own the first one but haven't played much of it.

One gave in to temptation, aware from playing on the free web-browser-based early version of the game that I like it. Noting that I did not (yet) receive a Steam key, but happy enough to wait until full release for that. Bearing in mind that Slay The Spire doubled in price on its Full Release, I thought I would take advantage of Dicey Dungeons' early deal.

Very happy to get the lowest tier of the bundle - I didn't have any of those games and both Tangledeep and Among The Sleep were titles I wanted (Yey!)

However, in the higher tiers, I had all the games except Dream Daddy Sim, which isn't really something I would have played. Pretty much a perfect bundle for me then ;)
