The crowd-funded choose-your-own-adventure survival game Dyscourse by Owlchemy Labs launched on Steam yesterday. We've had a look at the game and offer our thoughts on it.
This War Of Mine is easily one of my favourite survival games, and I gave it a pretty great review recently. We have been gifted 10 discount codes to give you 50% off, so snap them up quickly!
Don't Starve Together is now in Open Beta. Don't Starve is a wilderness survival game and this standalone expansion adds new content as well as multiplayer.
Rust from Facepunch Studios (notable for Garry's Mod) should once again work on Linux thanks to some more Unity engine updates, I've tested it and it works for me.
So... Dying Light. A triple A day one Linux port. Now that would sound awesome but sadly releasing games in a horrible state is trendy and Techland seems to have wanted a piece of that cake. Let's list the problems, shall we?
Several years ago I made a number of standalone Linux binaries for the Chzo Mythos using the then closed source Adventure Game Studio runtime as a base. Now that the source code to AGS has been released, I have updated the builds to use the superior free software engine.
I have been following this realistic survival game for about a year now as they stated Linux support on their homepage. Some of its main features include an infinite procedurally-generated world, dynamic weather, hunting, crafting and on top of all that it has great graphics.
Banished is the harsh city building and survival simulation that the developer had always planned to port to Linux, but it looks like it's about to happen now.
Zombie games can be usually placed into one of two categories, survival and gore-fest. You either attempt to survive the day to day life or you chop large hordes of zombies into pieces. Project Zomboid takes the survival route.
Project Zomboid is the fantastic zombie survival game that you can play in single-player, co-op, or online with other survivors. Myself and Samsai have really been getting into it, and a massive update was released.
BlazeRush had confirmed they were going to do a Linux version, and with no announcement it has landed. BlazeRush is a dynamic arcade racing survival game with no health, no levelling and no brakes!
The post-apocalyptic survival RPG was officially launched yesterday after nearly four years in development. A demo of the game is available and it looks good.
This War Of Mine is the brand new survival game from 11 bit studios, for those that don't recognise the name, 11 bit created the "Anomaly" series, and they also run the Games Republic store.
Don't Starve Together is the highly anticipated update to Don't Starve that features the much request multiplayer! We have a new trailer to show you too.
In the second of a two part opinion series, I will offer up my own personal conviction that the Amnesia games do not actually live up to the full potential demonstrated by their predecessors.
