Heads up GOG fans, they just recently released some more great Linux games to build up your DRM free collections. It's really great to see them getting a bit quicker at it now, and building up their Linux catalogue is a must.
Joining the Linux ranks are:
Samorost2 - Requires a browser with Flash 11.2 or greater.
Machinarium Collector's Edition
To The Moon
Botanicula
Have you picked up any games from GOG recently? What has been your favourite?
I am rather impatiently waiting for GOG Galaxy to hit, would really love to see the client release for Linux. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

In GOG I don't see any words about AIR in Botanicula. Can any confirm this? If I good remmeber this game needed AIR?

The version I have here (from /via Humble) indeed uses AIR. But it's included in the game, and doesn't need an external installation of AIR.
As for recent buys: I bought quite a lot during the summer sale, and have not played through everything yet. Still, clear favourites so far are CLARC and The Bards Tale.
Maybe also Edna: The Breakout. I loved the demo, but the full version didn't run with recent Java, so I had to pay in wine, which I sort of dislike. But there has been a patch recently (1.2) that claims fixing the Java issue.

Just downloaded the GOG-version of Botanicula and AIR 1.0 is bundled with the game, no separate installation of AIR required, just like the Humble-version.
Had to install 32-bit version of libnss3 to get it running in Ubuntu 15.04, otherwise it seems ok.
Hopefully the Linux-versions of the Amanita games will find their way to Steam.

Just to add. Bought Botanicula through Humble some time ago and although it doesn't affect gameplay as a whole, I got some annoying errors. Probably wasn't tested enough or something with AIR. Even so, I still recommend it and hope the devs will continue giving us Linux versions.
