It's question time today here on GOL, so sit down and come have a chat. Today I ask a very simple question: what game would literally blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?
Vilmonic is another late night discovery, this time thanks to the itch store. It has a free and a paid version, so there's nothing stopping you taking a look.
Angeldust is a late night discovery after trawling through Steam around midnight last night. It's free to play, looks amusing with the colourful cartoon-like characters so I gave it a go.
The mystery is no more, the previous teaser from GOG was for their Winter sale and you can get Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition free.
Kingdoms and Castles is a city-building game set in what looks like middle ages. It has some really cute graphics and it's confirmed for a Linux release.
Solitude, is a short game about leaving everything behind to become a shepherd, sort of. It looks utterly bizarre and quite unique.
Cyber Chicken is a parody action platformer from WHOA! And published by Groupees Interactive. I grabbed a key to see if it’s worth a laugh or not.
Issue 1 of free isometric adventure series Kith: Tales From the Fractured Plateaus, from the creators of The Maker's Eden, is now available on Itch.io.
Stratus: Battle For The Sky looks like a pretty great RTS game, as a fan of the classic Netstorm Islands at War I am looking forward to this different form of strategy game coming to Linux.
The game finally has its finished version available on Steam since November 17th. If you count all the reviews from Steam users so far, it has collected 187 positive ones against 6 negatives only. There is also a demo available.
Unity 5.5 has been released as a pretty major update to this popular game engine. One interesting bit for us is that games built with 5.5 onward will only have access to the modern OpenGL system.
I have been waiting for this one! Anima Gate of Memories looks fantastic and we don't have many good third person action RPG.
In January 2017 it will be 4 years since a bug report was opened about Steam not closing to the tray on Linux. On Windows it works perfectly, but on Linux it has been left to gather dust like so many other issues.
Darksiders was supposed to come out for Linux a long time ago and never happened. The developers haven't forgotten about it, but it seems the issues are proving difficult to fix and they have been busy.
If you want to play games in VR on Steam, the list of compatible headsets just got bigger. OSVR is now a supported option.
If you're in the mood for a good-looking 2D RPG with turn-based battles you may want to know that 'The Great Whale Road' is now on Linux.
GOG are going all mysterious on us, with their Twitter account simply popping out a big teaser image for December 1st. Time to get our thinking hats on.
Tower Unite is an interesting MMO, it's a community-based virtual world full of other games to play online. An interesting concept, sounds a bit like Second Life to me.
Thanks to my contact at Paradox, I have been able to test the new Cities: Skylines - Natural Disasters DLC before release. Here are my thoughts on it.
The enhanced remake of this indie game will be getting a Linux release on launch. Players will be able to explore a mysterious world where their actions have consequences and multiple endings abound.
