That's great! Originally, Master of Orion was the game I had my eyes on, while Stellaris was more of a "dark horse", but since the early access build of MoO has gotten some pretty mixed reactions, Stellaris is now the title I have the highest hopes for.

It's good that it's released with some space to the sweltering summer warmth. ;-)

Whoa, that´s quite a relief. The BG games are among my all-time favorites and I am really eager to see if this special "in-between-game", can live up to the old titles. I´ll pre-purchase as soon as the listing goes up on steam! ^_^

Quoting: KeyrockThe Witcher 3 - Is this a game that is still going to get ported? I am worried.
Styx: Master of Shadows
Styx: Shards of Darkness
Technomancer
Hard Reset Redux
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

These titles would rank high on my list as well, but I would like to think (hope) that all the above games does have a reasonable chanse of being ported/getting a linux release. While on the other hand, there are other titles that I feel would require a significant miracle to show up on Linux.

It´s tough to choose between "Fallout 4" and "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided", but I´ll have to go with Fallout because of the game length and expansions that would probably give me 100+ hours of gaming.

I guess my list would look something like this:

1. Fallout 4
2. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
3. Dishonored II
4. Mafia III
5. GTA V
6. Sherlock Holmes: The Devil´s Daughter
7. Rise of the Tomb Raider
8. Doom
9. Fallout 3 HD remake (not confirmed but a speculated release)
10. Cyberpunk 2077 (though probably not this year)

I´m only including titles that I feel are quite unlikely to get ported. (maybe with the exception of Tomb Raider)

So basically it's very short, very primitive from a graphical standpoint, quite expensive but on the more positive side it's really innovative & fresh.

Humm, well I can't deny I'm interested in trying it but not for 20,69€, maybe when it's down to neighborhood of 6,69€.

Sweet! I've had both the new "Thief" game and "Styx: Master of Shadows" on my wishlist for a long time now (with little hope of seeing a port) and this game looks like it has quite a bit in common with both of them.

Modern 3D, stylish graphics, high production values and a possibly interesting story to boot, we need much more of this on Linux. :)

Quoting: wolfyrionJeez!!! Not another turn based strategy game!!!

Quoting: GuestI’m also very sick of all these turn-based strategy games.

Well, I for one love turn based strategy games! ;)

However, having said that, I love *variety* even more. It feels like it was just a few years ago that I was desperate for tb-games and I felt like this genré was a dying breed but then came a rennaissance and a veritable flood of tb-games have arrived since then.

Now Linux has an abundance of this particular type of game, ranging from awful to fantastic. So...I must admit that I'd rather see other types of ports these days. (not counting the "fantastic" examples of the genre obviously)

Don't really know anything about this particular title though (and never played a "Hitman" game), so I'll have to do some more checking before deciding.

I've wanted this for quite some time as well. At first, it was because I thought it was some kind of Lovecraftian horror game but as I learned more about the game it seemed fascinating enough on it's on merits.

Hope it shows up soon.

Quoting: GuestThe timed missions in XCOM EU/EW were okay, but I had the most fun with the non-timed missions so I'm not sure how much I'll like XCOM 2. Until the game is patched though, and until the price for the full game is reasonable, I will be playing a copy for free or will be playing something else.

I must confess that I was a bit worried at first, since I think the first 2 (3?) missions were timed. While I don't mind timed missions, I certainly wouldn't want a TBS game were *all* the missions were on a clock, then I might as well play RTS for a similar "stress-factor".

Fortunately, that was not the case and 18 hours in I think it's a pretty good mix of "run-for-the-goal" missions and "sneak & flank" missions.

Btw. going off topic for a moment. The release of "Firewatch" is imminent and the game is pre-loading on Linux. Based on the first reviews I've seen it's supposed to be pretty great. (if you're looking for a more "reasonably priced" game that is)

Very nice & well deserved! I practically do not dare to play for more than a mission at a time anymore, otherwise I lose all sense of time and miss out on eating, bathroom breaks and any time-sensitive tasks.
