We're all waiting for EGAVK.

Cyberpunk action RPG 'RUINER 2' with co-op announced by Reikon Games
8 Mar 2026 at 12:58 am UTC Likes: 1

I think I bought the first one because it looked decent and was a Linux native game. But then they basically gave up on the Linux version.

I did finally play the game about a year ago. I quite liked it.

The gameplay was fun. The 'city' interludes between the combat areas felt kind of pointless, with only a few basic quests. So if they could tune that up, it would improve the game.

This was also one of the few games that I think I enjoyed more because I attempted to chase all of the achievements. Attempting speed runs and no death runs in the game was fun.

Quoting: PhlebiacThey say screen saver, but it's really just a lock screen, is it not?
The blog post sort of addresses that point, pointing out that screensavers now are less about having an animation to prevent burn in and more about privacy.

Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified

I gave up believing that there would be a Steam release I finally broke down and bought this like 2 months ago on Battle.net. I have it working on Lutris, but it took a bit of effort. I would have preferred a Steam option if it is more seamless.

I'd be interested in the DLC, but only at a deep discount.

Four FINAL FANTASY games have arrived on GOG in the Preservation Program

I didn't really expect Square Enix to allow Final Fantasy to be DRM free.

Good to see these available. I have them in my Steam account, but I think the 3D remakes are delisted now. That said, they are the worst versions of the games.

Quoting: StellaI should get through my massive backlog before buying anything new 😆
Me too.

I really hope the Steam Winter sale of 2046 will have some good sales.

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined announced for February 2026, already rated Steam Deck Playable
13 Sep 2025 at 11:29 pm UTC

Despite not having the time to play the game back then, it was something I wanted to get back into and now, this announcement just reminded me about revisiting it again.
You expect to have more time to play the game now? Good luck with that.

I remember playing DQVII on an emulator years and years ago. I don't remember much about the game. But the one thing that stands out was that the game felt like it was endless. Something like 100 hours to beat.

Heretic + Hexen get a definitive re-release with new content from id Software and Nightdive Studios
9 Aug 2025 at 11:43 pm UTC Likes: 2

I actually just played through these not long ago. I remember playing Hexen as a kid and never finishing because I was totally lost. I figured it was because I was just a dumb kid.

But re-playing it now, the maps were so labyrinthian and the changes done by the million switches you have to hit were at times so subtle that I still couldn't beat it without consulting a walkthrough.

They were decently fun to play through, but I am kind of sick of them after having gone through all of it. I'll have to give it a while before I try the new content. Hopefully by then gzdoom will support the new episodes.

Turok: Origins announced and it's now a third-person shooter with co-op

Quoting: XpanderIt's this time of year where we get trailers that tell absolutely nothing about game.
At least this shows tiny clips of "gameplay" in the end, but yeah. Basically zero stuff about how it will play.
Is it open world? is it mission/lobby based?
Looks very generic tbh.
What do you mean? How can it possibly be generic? It features incredible, noteworthy and innovative game features such "Fight Against Enemies"!

Descent 3: Piccu Engine is a new open source build focused on quality-of-life improvements

Quoting: Leahi84I loved Descent and Descent II back in the day when they came out. I bought Descent 3 back then but couldn't get it working on my Pentium 2 PC, even though I had a Voodoo 2.
I'm not sure if you could come up with a more 90s PC gaming sentence if you tried.
