Serious recommendation, how about Thea: The Awakening?

They've got a Linux build in their beta branch on Steam, but aren't willing to go ahead because there's only one programmer so they don't have the resources to fix the remaining issues, including multiplayer. Here's what the dev said today:

There were a couple technical issues with non-windows platforms and having only one programmer on the team, we just didn't have the resources to spend on trying to figure out what is wrong. At this point it's hard to say if Thea 2 will release on Mac/Linux, we'll of course do what we can to include these platforms. We may possibly make it available for testing just as we did with T1.

Sounds like just the thing for Mr. Gordon's talents.

I'd love to see Spiderweb Software's catalogue (particularly the Avernum remasters and the Avadon series, but ideally the whole thing) ported to Linux. Humble ported Avadon 1, but the creator hasn't shown any interest in doing the rest.

I just got this month's pay, so I'll probably get Goken pretty soon. Looks like the sort of thing I'd enjoy, but having a gameplay preview on stream would be nice.

Quoting: lucifertdarkI tried an early Windows demo of this & it was VERY VERY creepy, it's like Bioshock & Outlast got together for a quick night of passion & this game was the result, if it ever gets a Linux release I will happily take my daily dose of Joy. ;)

I guess we all know what to make Samsai play when the time comes! :whistle:

So did they finally create a third difficulty level between "no threats at all" and "EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE AND ON FIRE"?

Quoting: BladeforceStarcraft, DIablo 1 and 2, dungeon keeper 2. Nothing new interests me. it's all just eye candy

for Diablo look at Victor Vran & for Dungeon Keeper check out Dungeons 2 & War for the Overworld.

I wish there was more than just Victor Vran and Torchlight 2 for the Diablo-like experience. I find Victor himself way too cookie-cutter of a character to be stuck behind for a whole game, even though the mechanics can be fun.

Obviously Skyrim, but I'd like to actually see a Linux client for Wildstar since someone mentioned PvE MMOs. Maybe one (or more) of the Tales Of games or the remakes of the Final Fantasy series like FF X and VII. Some of the Batman games and maybe the first two Bioshocks would be great. I hear the Dragon Age games are good, so they'd be a fine addition to the Linux catalogue.

Hey, and I'll be a heretic here and suggest No Man's Sky.

Probably going to look into getting this when I get paid later this month. I've racked up a bit from cards to give me a reasonable discount.

Here's hoping that the next one will be Brütal Legend.

This one's definitely on my wish list. Looks like a fun experience.
