Some thoughts on 'Planet Explorers' now it's out of Early Access
15 December 2016 at 9:12 am UTC Likes: 1

I played it in 2014, completed the part of the Story then. One of my best advanture game memory. I played it again at release, completed the Story, accepted the few bugged scripts and odd AI, dicided it's still one of my best advanture game memory.

It's a sandbox with a story. It's a story within a sandbox. You can do the quest (going from A to B like mostly all games) and nothing else, or you can take time to build you explorer, jeep, motorbike, chopper, boat..., explore, build more, explore again... There is nothing to gain from exploration, no hidden loot, no special event... Only the immense pleasure to climb the mountain, use the jumpjet to be even higher, and open your wingsuit to fly all the way down and enjoy the landscape.

They mananed in my opinion to create a real atmosfere, not just a random generic world. I love the fauna, the flora, as soon as i step inside i feel i'm exploring Planet Maria.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun now has the Linux demo available

The demo is awesome ! I loved Commandos 1 and 2, i'm glad they have a demo, and Linux. It seems it will be 40€, too much for one game for me currently, as i have burnt my wallet for Warhammer already, but i will get it as soon as i can i'm pretty sure about it.

The Exiled, an open-world survival arena that combines MMO and MOBA together supports Linux

Played a little, and it feels much more "open" than Albion, and much less grindy. Albion has lost its focus, i think, i'm quite disappointed with the past year. Maybe The Exiled can do it well.

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

I think about Grim Dawn and Blood Bowl 2 for full release, Space Hulk Death Wing for upcoming, Battle Brothers for Early Access.

QuoteAsk before updating anything

It was on Steam until when, last year ? It was really better, but i suppose "the mass" was sometimes lost with up to date games...

So, when i pay 2,40 euro to Patreon each month, how much arrives to Liam's pocket in real ?

My top list of must-have strategy games on Linux as of right now
25 November 2016 at 12:27 pm UTC

My opinion on the list :

1: Company of Heroes 2 - I didn't play CoH2, but i loved CoH1 back in time, so, maybe.

2: XCOM 2 - Xenonauts + Mods, or even UFO:AI are much better in my opinion. Less shiny, more depth and attachment to characters.

3: Stellaris - Overrated, empty, boring. Star Ruler 2 is my favorite in this genre.

4: OpenRA - Cool, but with some old UI and mecanisms not so fun in 2016

5: Planetary Annihilation: TITANS - The planetoid maps is a bad good idea, making all hard to read, and the UI is much less functionnal than SupCom. Plus i don't support their behavior with Titans DLC.

6: Retro-Pixel Castles - Fully agree, i love it and its develloper is at hard work making it even greater.

7: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution - I didn't manage to get into yet. I tried it a few hours but without being really attracted.

8: Particle Fleet: Emergence - I play 2 or 3 hours before i get bored. I know i will play it more, a little, but something is not fine. More a puzzle game than a strategy one, maybe ?

+ Currently playing Total War Warhammer, first time i play a TW, it's fine, i need to learn more.
+ Didn't enjoy any CiV since CiV3.
+ You should keep an eye on Shallow Space, a real 3D Homeworld/Nexus like.
