nice! I didn't think we'd get it. It's a definite buy for me, although some of the twitchy bullet guiding puzzles look too difficult for casual scum like me.

PS: anyone know anything about Rain World? That's another Adult Swim title I'd love for us to get

I own the original on GoG already but I think I'll buy the enhanced edition anyway; it's such a fantastic game (as Liam said- so long as you don't mind reading).

been following for a year, glad they're getting close. In the meantime anyone who wants a great 2d darksouls with linux native should try salt and sanctuary - it's very good.

it really is a fantastic game, huge strategic depth - check it out if you haven't already... a lack of good hotkeys/controller support was one of my only complaints.

I got all excited about this deal, then realized I have everything :(

You might want to keep an eye on 'Silence', the new point & click adventure from Daedalic Entertainment

Quoting: tuubiI sure will keep my eye on this one.

Quoting: LinasHowever the mechanics of solving arbitrary puzzles, and not having direct control over the character and being limited to certain predefined actions really puts me off. :(
That argument stands only if you compare them to RPG's or something. Most game genres limit you even more and require much less of an imagination.
If we compared solutions to point and click game problems they would likely be identical (by design). If we compared how we survived a room in a FPS they would likely be quite different. If that's not a limitation...

Meadow, an odd 'forum in games clothing' is now available with Linux support

it's so cheap I picked it up and gave it a whirl. First twenty minutes I was on my own and the environment got a bit same-y. After a while I found the map feature, met up with a veritable menagerie of forest creatures, and romped about the environment breaking up big rocks for XP.

Think of it as a less-pretty, less-immersive Proteus, but with more interaction and stuff to do.

does the onscreen keyboard work for anyone, inside or outside of big picture mode? For me it still doesn't work.
