The GOG summer sale is now live

By - | Views: 17,017

It's hot outside, meaning you all want to stay in and play games right? GOG have you covered with their summer sale.

We've once again teamed up with GOG with our own special summer partner page, where I've personally hand-picked some Linux games that are now on sale that I think you might be interested in. We may even be doing another giveaway with GOG later in the week, so stay tuned for that!

If you would rather ignore my picks and head right on over to see all their Linux games on sale, click here. There's a good few hundred Linux games on sale, so you're likely to find something interesting.

Also, Xenonauts is currently going for free for 48 hours, well worth a look if you're a fan of XCOM-like strategy games. You can also bag a copy of Sunless Sea once you spend a small amount too.

Finally, it might be worth taking a look at GOG Connect again to see if you can bring over any more games from Steam to get a copy on GOG free too—handy! Looks like a few good titles going right now like Prison Architect, FTL, Hotline Miami 2 and more.

Before anyone asks, there's no update on GOG Galaxy.

Quoting: adamhmFallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

God damnit, we've been having issues getting fallout 3 to run stable in wine for a few days now. If this works well I wish I had found this before fiddling with it on my own...

How reliable are these Wine-wrapped games? I've never bought a Wine-wrapped game before, so I don't know what's involved, or how compatible they are, or how much setup I have to do.

I would consider buying some of the older ones that have no chance of coming to Linux (but I won't buy anything that may have a native port coming).

Any info is appreciated.

These games are NOT Wine wrapped by default. These are scripts that contains certain Wineprefixes for certain games.

So ; if you buy them you would end up buying a Windows game , not a Wine wrapped game by default.

I try to make them as easy to use & as much like playing a native game as possible. As long as you have the dependencies installed it's simply a case of putting the files in one place & running the build script to assemble the wrapper, then once that's done the resulting wrapper can be treated much like a native game - simply move it to wherever you want it & run the start script to play.

None of them are likely to come to Linux officially; I don't buy any games for Wine until they're old/discounted enough that an official Linux release is unlikely, and I strongly recommend that others do the same - save the high/full price purchases for Linux titles in order to encourage more official Linux releases.

Quoting: GuestThanks, I'll keep that in mind. Perhaps I'll get a cheap one, and if it works out I'll consider more.

Feel free to ask if you need help with any of them :)

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Really quick question does the saboteur work with a controller from your script, 3rd person shooters are not that much fun on mouse and keyboard for me.

I've never tried before, but I quickly checked with an X360 controller just now and the game didn't recognise it. It might be possible to get it working with some tweaking but it's not something I have any experience with as I almost exclusively use kb+m.
