Quoting: qptain NemoI'm very glad they have fully adopted Linux support, I really am, but based on my experience with early access of Sunless Sea and their overall sadistic game design philosophy I wouldn't pick up their game during early access even if my life depended on it. Not to mention that story-driven games and early access isn't really a good combination to begin with. But don't get me wrong though, after I finish Sunless Sea, if I still want more, I absolutely might buy it once it's released.

How do you feel about Darkest Dungeon? Tried that one? [ I like how the game plays, but it is just too mean a game. I don't play games to start the next run worse than the previous one. Gee, my whole party is diseased and insane. On top of that, some RNG event has just taken 8 items out of my inventory. Pow! ]

As a big fan of the Serious Sam franchise, I'm very happy to hear about these improvements. Looking forward to playing them again :)

Quoting: TuxeeGot it from the Humble Store. Never played it in the old days - really looking forward to do so now.

Very tempting to get it via Humble store - You get the Steam key and the DRM-free version too.

EDIT:

And got it on Humble for myself.

Looks like a game that might work well with VR.

Just checked out that game-play video: It does look good. I will keep an eye on this one.

From the Steam page, it says it is due to leave Early Access in August.

Speaking for myself, I like AAA titles like Dying Light, Mad Max, Hitman, and so on. BUT I also really like a lot of Pixel Art games. I highly recommend these Pixel Art games:

Broforce, Rogue Legacy, FTL, PixelJunk Shooter, Dungeon Warfare, Mini Thief, Hotline Miami, Kingdom: New Lands, The Curious Expedition, Crypt of the Necrodancer.

Haven't got around to playing Owlboy, Party Hard, Chroma Squad, and others - But I'm sure they're pretty awesome too.

Finishing off with - There are plenty of junk Pixel Art games too - One needs to sift the chaff from the wheat.

Ahhhh.... so tempted.... Tyranny Commander Edition is at its highest ever discount - 60% off on GOG.

But.... Maybe wait another year or so, and get the GOTY edition, when that eventually arrives. (I'm not happy buying games and then buying DLC later.)

Still, Tyranny was probably a Day 1 Release for the Linux version, and I think it is well worth supporting developers that give so much love to Linux (Obsidian, Paradox).

I played Shadow Warrior (2013) about 8 months ago. Personally I was very happy with game-play. It was quite a linear game, but each level had secrets to hunt out, and the story was reasonable. I did like the differences between the weapons. The Katana and the different ways to use it, did make the game more interesting. It took about 20 hours of play to finish the main story. I also liked the differences between each of the enemies. For me, it was a big upgrade compared to the older 1997 version.

EDIT:

Also, I wonder if giving away Shadow Warrior for free has any bearing on Shadow Warrior 2 - Still looking forward to a Linux port of the new game. Pretty please!

I bought Dungeon Warfare for Sale on Steam this week. It is 75% discount (£1.74). It is working on Linux fine for me.

The game is a well-crafted Tower Defence game, in a Dungeon Keeper style setting. I've played it for about 5 hours, and have been thoroughly enjoying it. The various Steam reviews do a good job of describing it.

It is a bit smarter game-play than your average Tower Defence, because you can adjust the flow of the Heroes attacking your Dungeon core, by putting obstacles to force them to go another route. For instance, adjusting their route so that they wander into the tracks of mine-carts, and the mine-carts bear into them.

I'm particularly keen on the Harpoon trap, so far - which you place on the other side of 'bottomless' pits, and when an enemy comes along, it harpoons them, drags them into the pit and down they go.

Quoting: razing32

Quoting: g000hWell, out of curiosity I have just activated The Walking Dead: Season 1 from my recent $1 Tier purchase, and it has Mac and Windows, but no Linux install - and that includes under the Properties field on Steam client.

That's odd. I have it on steam under SteamOS+Linux section.

Very interesting. I just bought "The Walking Dead" and it only has Windows and Mac icons on Steam:

Noting from this very website GOL Waking Dead link that Walking Dead had a SteamDB Linux Depot, back in February 2017.

So, did they release it to Linux, and then pull it again due to Support or Stability issues (but allowed existing owners to keep it in their accounts)? Or maybe you have access to some sort of hidden beta programme? Is it still going to come to Linux - Anyone spotted SteamDB Depot activity?

Any news on the other Telltale games and whether they might be coming to Linux (eventually)?
