'Sky Break' [Steam, Official Site] recently released and it's also available for Linux, it looks like a fantastic single-player open-world action & adventure game.

To me, it almost looks like a mix of No Mans Sky in visual style, with Horizon Zero Dawn styled robotic enemies. I think it looks extremely cool and i really want to give it go!

I've requested a review key, so hopefully I can cover it in more depth soon!

About the game
Humanity is threatened. A deadly virus is rapidly spreading.

The particular flora of Arcania, a planet once used by humans for space colonization, may help in the creation of a cure. But the planet has been abandoned ever since working drones turned against humans.

A group of researchers has been sent to this planet to find a solution. You are one of them.
But as you arrived, your spaceship crashed… Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Seems like "No Man's Sky" without the hype. Wishlisted! ;)

Why no GOG release?

Does this have a story and an ending? If yes, I am definitely interested.

I am quite sceptical of these survival/exploration games that seems to be the thing now. I find it really hard to get into an endless game, because it feels that there is no point to whatever I am doing.

Shoot the developers an email maybe? One reason why Megabyte Punch now has a Linux version up on GOG is because I contacted the dev about it.

I hope this will not derail the discussion, but I personally appreciate Steam and the service it provides. I used to prefer DRM-free when I had tens of games. But when it went into hundreds after a bundle frenzy, I have no way to store or manage all of them myself. It's like trying to download all of Netflix.

Pretty good game for its price. Art Style is nice and the setting. story is pretty generic but there are logbooks to get more background info in the game. AI pathfinding is pretty bad tbh. theres crafting but luckily no food or water requirements. you can also build a spaceship at some point to travel faster between the regions.


quick gameplay video as always:

This seems like one of the 8 billion survival games out there. Is that correct, or am I getting the wrong impression?

I have the same impression myself. I forgot which game started this genre ( was it Don't Starve? ) and only but a few truly stand out.

I can only speak for myself but I for one don't wish games only on GOG. I prefer to buy them on GOG but understand other people prefer Steam. I think it's the best for everyone when we both get the versions we want.

I am actually the opposite of you. I started to prefer DRM free as my collection grew because it became more of a risk and a realization that Valve has the power to take my games away by banning my account. They may never do that but they have the power. If GOG were to cease to exist tomorrow I have all of my games downloaded in multiple locations so I would be unaffected.
