Sadly it looks like Shadow Warrior 2 won't be a day-1 Linux release

Depressing, I was(am) really eager to play this game and despite the multitude of AAA disappointments that have struck this year I really thought FWH would deliver. Still I hope it´s just a temporary snafu.

Sunless Sea expansion Zubmariner releases on October 11th with Linux support

Darn, still haven´t bought this game yet. First I kept waiting for official support to be announced on the steam store-page and then when that never seemed to come about...I forgot about it.

Guess I´ll pick it up before the expansion arrives.

State of Mind, a fantastic looking futuristic thriller game built with Unreal Engine that's coming to Linux

Sounds like a bit of "Deus Ex" possibly mixed with some inspiration from "SOMA". Could be really nice although I admit that the useage of so many "big words" (transhumanism, separation, disjuncture, reunification, existential, post-material) leaves me wondering if the game can do justice to the description.

New trailer for first-person horror game Syndrome looks good, Linux supported

Yup, this looks very interesting indeed. I´ll almost certainly buy this title probably as soon as it´s released.

Although...I do agree about the voice acting, it´s almost giving me "parody-vibes" like when some kid in a youtube video attempts to imitate an adult of somewhat advanced years. The other two voices aren´t that great either, they sound far too stilted and unnatural given what they are saying. Still, for me voice-acting is mostly of minor importance. In most cases I simply read the subtitles while keeping the sound volume relatively low anyway.

Some thoughts after finishing episode 4 of Life is Strange on Linux
16 Aug 2016 at 7:49 am UTC

Really nice game and the scenario with Chloe in ep4 was really heartwrenching, unfortunatly I think that was also the point where I started to lose interest in the plot. Before that, Max special ability was like some type of superpower from the tv-series "Heroes" (or some other metahuman/mutant/accidental power). However, at that point the "feel" of the story switched tracks over to the magical, mythical or karmic arena. Basically it felt like I was just playing a modern variation of the classic "Monkey´s Paw"(link [External Link]) story.

This lessened my enjoyment significantly for the rest of the game. :(

This pre-alpha video of BATTLETECH looks quite amazing

I loved their "Shadowrun" titles, so I feel confident that this will be very enjoyable. I must admit that I actually have zero experience with "Mechs" previously (not counting some lame movie by Guillermo del Toro) but this looks both beautiful as well as damn fun!

Hard Reset Redux is not coming to Linux despite appearing in SteamDB

Pretty sad! This title was quite high on my "most-wanted" list.

I too feel that the reasoning about "popularity=porting" seems kind of weird. On windows, this is a small fps title that competes with the recently released "Doom" and many other similar high profile fps games. On linux this would be a high profile singleplayer fps in itself and would recieve much more attention by gamers. It wouldn´t have much more actual competition than the "Half-Life" and the "Metro" games (that surely every single linux-gamer must have played through)

Looks like Stardew Valley is starting to gear up for the Linux release

Sweet! I´ve been very curious about this title and the reviews are pretty glowing, so it´s an insta-buy.

I only wish I had a linux-pad to play it outside in the summer heat, I considered trying to install linux on my Asus-Transformer but it seems like there is some loss of hardware functions and the process is pretty involved.

System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now available on Linux, nearing stretch goal

Works great! This is really a dream come true. I bought the original game twice, once on 3.5 disks and once on cd and this feels just like I remember it, with all the modernizations fitting perfectly with all my idealized memories of how impressive it was when originally released.

Day of the Tentacle Now Available On Linux

Finally! I was starting to think I wouldn´t find anything new to buy until autumn (the first steam summer-sale since the start where I bought nothing)

It´s gonna be great to play this one again, I always planned to re-play the original but now I´m thankful I never got around to do it.
