First-person puzzle game Attractio has been released on Steam

Vaguely remembering the title I started looking through all the sites I ever bought games from, and there it was. Including a Steam key. That's the good news.

The bad news is that I also found a bunch of promising games that never got completed. Many even were greenlit on Steam just to never be seen again.

Anyway, it does seem like the game got a healthy chunk of development since I saw it last. Looking forward to finally playing it.

Escape from Tarkov, the new Russian Survival MMO FPS looks like it's heading to Linux

Love the voice acting. Like when the character throws a grenade and shouts "here's a present for you, bitch." I have heard people complaining about English versions of Russian games, but they do not realize that it is actually quite hard to translate Russian slang accurately. For exampe the previously mentioned phrase is only 3 words in Russian.

Long story short, learn Russian, play in original language. :)

Ok, so pearls are made under water. Bioshock takes place under water. One is for the first Bioshock. Pearls are shiny, means it is a remastered version. Guys, remastered Bioshock 1 is comming to Linux!

Quoting: MohandevirLocal coop... Yes!
It was added quite recently. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I will in the weekend. Already stocked on beer. :)

The game has improved a lot since beta, so whatever reservations I had before, can definitely recommend it now.

I watched the trailer and looked through the website, but I am still puzzled over what genre this is?

Quoting: Beamboom...I'm just worried about when we will start seeing fabricated submissions here, like the "user reviews" on Amazon & co. This is already the one major site for Linux gaming news (with barely any competition at all), and it's only a question of how big the platform must be before this open article submission will be (tried) exploited.
When that happens, we will know that we have won.

It's a regular user writing a game-inspired short story, what's not to like.
Nothing. I always liked how open GOL is to user submissions.

Ori and the Blind Forest developer clarifies why a Linux port is up to Microsoft

I understand the developers. When you sign with somebody like Microsoft, they basically own you, and your firstborn child. It is not going to happen unless at some point they can get their IP back from Microsoft. It is not even about Microsoft somehow conspiring against Linux. If they could make a nice truckload of money from a Linux version, I am sure they would do it.
