I don't remember hearing about this before..

Oh well, glad it's out. I might buy it one day, but with all the awesome games coming out it might slip through the cracks for a couple of years. :P

Quoting: OZSeafordEDIT - noticed that dwarf fortres did not make it...Oh well....Still, worthy win for 0AD.
Dwarf Fortress, while one of the most amazingly complex and fun games going, is very much an acquired taste with a steep learning curve that puts off a lot of people. I'm disappointed that it didn't get the recognition it deserves, but I'm not too surprised.

I am surprised that OpenXCOM didn't even get 10 votes in the FOSS category. The amount of work that's gone into that project this year is phenomenal. I suppose it has been a year and a half since the last stable release though, so maybe it's fallen off a lot of people's radars. When the next version lands with TFTD support, maybe it'll catch a few people's eyes.

Played this game to death back in the day. I'm glad it's coming to Linux!

Slime Rancher pre-alpha, DRM free, available for Linux

Ooh, I played the alpha of this briefly, and it was quite fun. There was a bug with grass rendering though, making the ground all black, which made exploring a bit difficult. It certainly looks like it'll be a fun game.

GOL Asks: What have you been playing recently?
9 Jan 2016 at 9:51 pm UTC

I have been playing Armello, Dwarf Fortress, Cities: Skylines, ARK: Survival Evolved, and just recently Windward, The Long Dark and Saints Row IV.

EDIT: I also played through The Fall, which was a short, but good point&click story game.

GamingOnLinux's GOTY Awards is now open!

Shouldn't OpenXcom be in "Favourite FOSS project", not "Favourite open source games"? It's not a game by itself, you need the original game(s) data files.
