'Sky Break', a single-player open-world action & adventure game now on Linux

Does this have a story and an ending? If yes, I am definitely interested.

I am quite sceptical of these survival/exploration games that seems to be the thing now. I find it really hard to get into an endless game, because it feels that there is no point to whatever I am doing.

Quoting: InverseTelecineI'd like to be able to play it single player when I can't play co-op.
Isn't the standard Don't Starve supposed to be the single player component of the game?

I think those are different. It says DRM-free in the widget on the page I linked. Maybe it's not Humble Store, just the widget looked very familiar.

Quoting: HamishGreat. Now they need the Linux version of Penumbra so I do not need to depend on my old Desura copy.

Is this the same Batman game that doesn't even work properly on Windows? Was it ever fixed?

Well what about the gameplay? Is it a walking simulator like Gone Home or a puzzler like The Talos Principle?

Steam Hardware Weekend sale, bag some cheap kit, Steam Controller now has accessories

Quoting: Beamboom... while we in Norway still only get the "coming soon" message on the controller page. :(
In Denmark you can buy it at your local GameStop. It is often not on display though, so you have to ask. I bought it a while ago, and it was about the same price as the Steam price plus delivery, without having to deal with the actual international delivery.

Edit: Swedish GameStop also seems to have it available.

Quoting: manero666I first played Amnesia Dark Descent and Machine for Pigs. Afterwards, Penumbra unfortunately didn't cut in anymore.
Penumbra games are my personal favourites. I think the atmosphere is way more immersive and realistic. I also liked Amnesia a lot, but it is more theatrical.

The Machine for Pigs well... it kind of sucked. But it was not even made by Frictional Games so it does not count.
