X3TC is the best game of all the X games, in my opinion.

If you play it, play it with X3TC-Extended mod, it's simply awesome, if you like the genre.

Outside of X, the Early Access game Helium Rain, form Deimos Games, is great too.

Current Beta is broken (no Play/Install button after entering the beta branch), but there is good hope they will fix the issue soon enough.

I'd like to see same kind of analysis with GoG, Humble and Itch.io

I take my games from, in order : Steam (less and less), itchio (more and more), Humble, Dev's websites, random Bundles like Fanatical

The price goes up from time to time, they announced it several times, and they even remind people before the deadlines "next week it will be more expensive blah blah" so i'm perfectly fine with this policy.

Parkitect is an excellent game and was one of the best alpha for me so far, with almost never missed weekly devlog, and monthly update, since mid-2016 (i jumped in with Alpha 2 i think).

What a waste... After all these years and pushed back releases, they should have had a great "medieval Eve Online"...

Instead, they made an "open world sandbox", with enclosed small regions, instances, not much sand to play with, several market's limitations, and a collapsing community only a few months post-release. And release feels more like an Early Access pre-Alpha as they made huge gameplay changes on the last minutes without proper testing.

I wanted to like the game in beta, 3 or 4 times. Then at release, but i quit after a month or so.

I don't believe a Linux console is a solution for Linux gamers. I don't know about you, but around me, me included, all Linux users are doing much more than playing, on their PC.

It's a workstation for video, music, 3D, development, internet, social media door, games, all together, and if there was a Linux console, they would NOT buy it or use it even for free. It would require a split between the PC and the console, while with the PC they have all in one machine.

Quoting: ageresI heard The Cave is similar to this. Trine may remind The Lost Vikings too.

The Cave yes actually, it's the closest i know about, but still taste something else.

Trine, nah, not even close.

Earthworm Jim 1&2 are one of my best memories of game of Sega Genesis / Megadrive, along with Lost Vikings. I never found any game close to Lost Vikings gameplay until today, by the way.

That's so... something... Shame ? Frustration ? Sadness ? Despair ?

The itchio version was/is quite fun but very shallow, i will keep a eye on its development for sure.

I don't think we are going to play Mantis anytime soon.
