Category: Initial Thoughts

With the Saints Row 2 report out of the way and performing terribly, I have also taken some time to look at Saints Row: The Third.

Now that I've had a chance to play some Saints Row 2 on Linux, here are some thoughts on the performance.

I really liked Retro-Pixel Castles when I played it initially last year, and after trying it again now it has had some major updates I have some more thoughts on it.

AuroraRL is a space exploration game where our precious earth is in crisis, and it's your task to seek out alien life and make new friends.

Today I have been creating some mighty fine dishes in Space Food Truck, it recently launched out from Early Access so I was keen to take a look.

NeuroVoider has probably one of the most amusing license agreements around, and the game looks great too. It's a slick new twin-stick shooter RPG, and the developer sent me a key.

I have been excited about Enter the Gungeon for a long time, and now that it has been released with day-1 Linux support I took a look at it.

The trailer for CHKN delighted me with how weird it was, so I got a key from the developer and took a look at the Linux version of this weird sandbox game.

The rather pretty action adventure game Hyper Light Drifter is now available after a lengthy development period. I dove in right away to see if it was any good.

Epistory - Typing Chronicles the unique atmospheric adventure typing game is now fully released. I have taken a look to see what you might expect.

Blacksea Odyssey, a top-down rogue-lite space shoot ‘em up is now available in Steam's Early Access. You fight off massive creatures as you seek glory with your harpoons.

I know a few people who have been waiting for this! Discord, a newer chat app used by gamers now has an experimental Linux app ready for some testing.

Race.a.bit is a new retro inspired 2D racer that is now on Linux, it doesn't have many reviews, so I took a look to let you know if it's worth it or not.

I love city/town building games like Banished, Settlers and the like, so a brand new one on Linux was too good to pass up. Here we go with Villagers!

Faeria is truly one not to miss out on, not only is it a good answer to not having Hearthstone on Linux, but it's also healing my wounds over Scrolls never officially coming to Linux and then getting shut down. The hook in Faeria is that you build the board as you play.

American Truck Simulator arrived on Linux day one which is fantastic, and I was eventually sent over a key by SCS directly to check it out.

I've been looking forward to trying out Balrum since seeing it on a crowdfunding site some time ago, and now it has had a day-1 release on Linux I got a chance to play with it.

Today I took a look at Trulon: The Shadow Engine, a new RPG on Steam. It's a spin-off of the upcoming fantasy novel ‘Shadow Gears’ from Shadowrun author Jak Koke and Trulon creator Johan Lillbacka.

I had a chance to take a look at Overfall, a very interesting mix of rogue-like exploration, RPG and strategy mechanics wrapped up in a funny looking shell.

Out of nowhere, Daedalic decided to release a sequel to their most popular (and often divisive) point-and-click game series Deponia, announcing it just a week before release to the surprise of many. This will be spoiler-free for both Deponia Doomsday as well as the original trilogy, since some might still be intending on playing that.
