Nice, I like the surrealist touches!

Quoting: abelthorneI don't think there would be so much work to port that new extension

They said that they wanted to add more shiny to the PC version instead of being constrained by what they can reasonably do on a mobile device.

Quoting: dubigrasuMouse issues, vsync issues, gamepad issues, graphic issues...you name it.

Sure, bugs are understandably frustrating - I just don't get it when there's still bashing in cases where there are zero issues.

Fortunately, problems like the one you mentioned above are getting fixed as they get reported - the mouse look problems have been resolved, vsync (which was initially disabled on some WMs to work around a bug in Compiz/Unity DE) has been reënabled on all WMs, etc.
Additionally, Unity 5 takes a more SDL-like approach to gamepad support (see Fight the Dragon), meaning that things should be more likely to Just Work, and it should be easier for users to override them if they don't.

Ok, in what way is the Linux support bad? You mentioned that you didn't experience any problems...

It uses Unity, which is a shame. But I haven't noticed any bad performance or glitches

So ... why is it a shame?

Endless Space seems unlikely - they were using Unity 3.x, and I don't know if they ever even upgraded to 4 (the first version with Linux publishing support).

Quoting: OZSeafordTo come back to The Witcher 2 and eON, I think results may vary from machine to machine.

+1 - I played through the entire game on Linux, ~40 hours, on a macbook pro 10,1 with an nvidia gt650m. Performance, while not flawless, was certainly acceptable, and in line with other AAAish titles that have come to Linux.

The unique question for December should have "about as much" as an option - that one would be most applicable for me.

I'm looking at:

• Baldur's Gate:EE [External Link]


• TRI: Of Friendship and Madness [External Link]


• Maybe Darkwood [External Link]

Quoting: antarcticianI think I'll go with:

• Warlock 2: The Exiled [External Link]


• Deadfall Adventures [External Link]

Especially Deadfall Adventures looks like another AAA with good quality port for GNU/Linux. Not sure about the Warlock though, reviews don't seem to be so good.

I'm playing through Deadfall now.
It's an ok first-person exploration game with some shooting and puzzles. Massive load times. If you're planning on playing with a gamepad, check the Steam discussion forums before buying - the control scheme is a bit quirky and buggy (however, I've been able to work around everything so far).
