Another day, another big sale is going on. Today is the turn of Valve as they're doing a big Lunar New Year sale. Valve have also revamped Steam's Wishlist feature.

I decided to pick ten games I think people should pick up for various reasons. It's extremely difficult to condense so many awesome Linux games, but my varied choices here I think are a good set for people to look into (if you still haven't!).

  • Tomb Raider - 85% off, Since Rise of the Tomb Raider is officially coming to Linux, getting this played through is a good idea (the price is also ridiculous!).
  • Insurgency - 85% off, It's a solid tactical FPS and if plenty of Linux users buy it, hopefully they will continue to stay committed to getting Insurgency: Sandstorm on Linux.
  • Victor Vran - 75% off, a pretty damn good action RPG. Tons of content and tons of loot! It's also from the studio developing Surviving Mars, which releases with Linux support next month.
  • XCOM 2 - 67% off or XCOM 2 Collection (including the excellent WotC expansion) - 50% off.
  • Dying Light - 60% off or Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition - 67% off.
  • Stellaris - 60% off, with the huge expansion due soon it's a fab time to grab it.
  • Oxygen Not Included - 40% off, probably one of the most engrossing space-colony simulation games I've ever played. Klei have a great history of Linux support too.
  • Overfall - 40% off, not one I've mentioned for a while, but it's a solid RPG with turn-based battles where you travel across the sea and visit various islands.
  • Rusted Warfare - 40% off, I could write paragraphs about my love for this 2D RTS. It brings back so many good memories of Total Annihilation and the recent Steam Workshop update, plus all the other updates makes it really damn fun.
  • Streets of Rogue - 33% off, we had far too much fun during livestreams with this one, absolute madness!

Be sure to share games you feel people absolutely cannot miss in the comments, why don't you pick your top five games that maybe aren't too well known, but you love them? Will be interesting to see what you come up with.

As for the Steam Wishlist, Valve put up a blog post here announcing the changes resulting in a total revamp of the Wishlist system and it's tons better. You can filter per platform, filter out certain titles like Early Access to only see them when they're done and so on. Good stuff from Valve, was long overdue. Now Valve, about the Steam Library and how it's really needing a revamp…

Ps. You can see Linux sales on our Sales Page, which updates constantly.

I can't see anything that would interest me. However, I found Dungeons 3 is there as well, so at least anything. Any good RTS/city-builders/RPGs there?

Finally I've acquired Hollow Knight which I just played for almost 2 hours and it seems pretty cool, and Divinity: Original Sin EE which I tried to launch but it just crashes instead. Bedtime now so I'll have to investigate that tomorrow, but worst case scenario I'd just get a refund but I really would like to get it working.

Anyone seen this error before?

Gong Xi Fa Cai for all the Chinese GOL readers! (dunno if y'all exists)

P/S: RIP my stomach. Lots of Mandarin oranges. At least got some angpaw funding for Steam sales. :D

The unexpectedness of this event just gave me a flash back to Fuck You It's January.

This game is great. Don't give up too fast, but it's some kind of broken when you use mesa drivers. Read here...

Compiling the "LD_PRELOAD shim" works for me.

I have many games on my wishlist despite also having many more in my library which I've not even played. Anyway I was in the habit of sorting by Discount so that I could see what was on sale. That update says this wasn't possible so I guess it was an Enhanced Steam feature. Unfortunately it this isn't working anymore; it seemed useful so hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

Quoting: sn0rlaxVictor Vran ... worst performing game I've ever played
Worked fine for me.

Thanks for clarify this.
I use Intel iGPU, so I have no choice other than mesa.

Quoting: EhvisThe new wishlist is functionally good, but I would have preferred the items to be a bit smaller.
Holy shit, yes.

Feels like it's not scaled right at all at 1080p :P
