Very nice review!

From "Spiders", I've only played this and "Mars: War Logs" and I believe I enjoyed them pretty much equally.

Two action oriented rpg-romps with a bit of a "gamey taste", an expression which I use to mean that they are ambitious projects and at the same time a bit unrefined, a bit unpolished, a little flawed and lacking that "AAA-Studio Feel". I much admit that I have a real soft spot for that special "pseudo-category" of game, and I have on more than one occasion found myself enjoying them just as much as their far more "well reviewed cousins " in the crpg genré.

Happy New Year!

May Vulcan come swiftly and with many blessings for us all. <3

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this release will have a positive impact on the porting of "Underrail", a very interesting rpg that I bought in early access about 2 years ago.

It uses XNA and a port doesn't sound out of the question.

Nice, I often switch between surfpadd/desktop and it's neat not to need to constantly log in (when you're responding to different comments at different times 'n stuff)

Quoting: flesk

Quoting: FeistEdit: Btw. has anyone played through ep 1 &amp;amp; 2 of "The Detail", that title seems a little similar to this game and I'm thinking about buying it too.

I played episode 1 and liked it, but I forgot to write about it (I think). There's no action in it though.

Action is not a requirement for me as long as it has atmosphere and interesting characters/story. I remember wanting to buy "The Detail" earlier but I was put off by the fact that it had no "season pass" or some similar arrangement. (I see now that it still hasn't changed)

"Sunken", "Halfway", "Never Alone" and "Blues and Bullets" so far.

This would be a fairly great "linux-christmas" if only some titles among : "Stasis", "Darkest Dungeon", "Clandestine", "Rebel Galaxy", "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" or "Technobabylon" could have a "Surprise Linux Release"! ;)

Bought! Not quite sure about this one but I've had it on my wishlist for quite a long time so I guess I must have heard/read something good about it at some point.

Bought! This one I had missed completely even though it certainly looks like my kind of game. I went all in and got the whole season.

Quoting: TheBossThis is taken from their Kickstarter for number 2:

Believe us, it's not that we're not interested in producing a version for Mac/Linux/Console, it's just that we want to get the gameplay and world fleshed out in all the detail that it needs first. Once we have the game fully worked out, we'll start looking at porting it to other platforms. That’s not something that’ll happen during the Kickstarter or indeed this year.

But - and it’s an important but - we do have most things in place to support several other platforms, since we are starting work from the Divinity: Original Sin- Enhanced Edition engine. We just don’t want to make any promises yet.

Thanks!

It does sound like Linux is a distinct possibility for the sequel maybe it's even likely...
Still, not sure if I'm willing to bet on "we'll start looking at porting it to other platforms", as a guarantee for a continuation of the series on linux, which means I'll most likely put this game on hold until something more substantial is said by Larian Studios.

Does anyone know what the "Linux status" is for the upcoming sequel to this game?

Because I can't see much reason to bother with this game, if the studio has removed Linux from their plans completely after this debacle. (I still bear an old and strong grudge against MS for releasing Halo 1&2 to windows but keeping Halo 3 an "xbox exclusive")
