I've only played through the tutorial but it does seem very promising (despite the troublesome camera/movement). Charming graphics and an enjoyable combat-system, if only level-design and puzzle-solving becomes as well done as in "Legend of Grimrock", I think it can become a real hit.

Still, like others I too will await the real launch when it leaves early-access. With "Worlds of Magic" that I'm currently playing and the just-about-to-launch "Pillars of Eternity", waiting shouldn't be too hard.

I was pretty depressed over the failure of "Seven Dragon Saga", that I had high hopes for:

However, now when you have opened my eyes to both "Halcyon6" and the possibility of "Dungeons of Aledorn", I do feel a bit better. Thanks !

Hmm...unfortunatly there's not much left to buy.

I have every title with a linux version, except "Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel" and although I bought all the story-dlc:s for "Borderlands 2", I never felt like playing longer than the main-story ending (and barely that long). So that was a bit of wasted money...

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for more mayor publishers like "Square Enix", "Deep Silver" and "Bethesda".

I bought this game in early-access but I have managed to abstain from playing it until now.

Master of Magic, that this game is supposed to attempt to emulate or act as a spiritual successor to, used to be my favorite pc-game for a looong time. I have probably spent over 500 hours with MoM since v1.31 was released in 1995.

Lol, now I'm almost afraid to start playing for fear that it won't live up to my expectations.

This was a pretty good game as far as I recall, not a favorite among TPS/FPS by any means but still plenty enjoyable. A game well worth playing for those who haven't had the chanse.

Considering that this game is already supposed to be a great experience, I'm really thrilled to see what the new "coolness" is that they'll be adding. In any case it's certain to be a great addition to the Linux "crpg-library".

As a side-note, I'm also eagerly awaiting "StarCrawlers", another rpg that now has a linux-beta available. Starcrawlers appears to be something like "Legend of Grimrock" in a space/sci-fi setting.

Just started playing "X: Reunion", not very happy about it this far.

The start of the game simply dumps you in the seat of spaceship that seems to have a ton of options and various functions to become accustomed with. No introduction to the game-universe or the back-story. No tutorial at all for navigation, flight, combat, the cockpit viewscreen and other important aspects. The help-menu did seem to contain some technical instructions though, now all I have to discover is how to increase the text-size about 4 times, so I'll actually be able to read it.

Oh well, maybe there's a pdf-manual included (been a long time since I felt I had to read one of those, guess I have become a bit spoiled) ;-)

EDIT: Yup, there certainly was one. I suppose I'll spend half an hour or so with that, before I try the game for real.

OK, thanks again! I just noticed that "X3:Goldbox" (Albion Prelude, Reunion, Terran Conflict) was only 8,49€, while "Rebirth" is 13,59€. So I think I'll go for those 2 after all.

Quoting: edqeThe game had really bumpy start but has improved drastically since then. Unfortunately the damage had already happened and the game got very bad reviews. Egosoft has always had bumpy starts but they have very long and great support for their games.

X games requires quite much time. They are not fast paced shooters or 30h game play games. People plays these games hundreds of hours. Reviews written by people who has played only 20h hours or less should take with grain of salt.

With this price tag I would definitely buy all games from X series. If you still have some spare money after that I would buy Elite: Dangerous and later Star Citizen as well (especially if they will be available for Linux).

Thanks! Considering that the price-tags aren't very high, I think I might give it a chance. However, there is "Reunion" (2006), "Terran Conflict" (2008) and "Rebirth" (2013). A bit difficult deciding what to buy and what might (possibly) be better to skip.

Is there some advantage to playing these games in chronlogical order, or might I as well start with the latest (most modern by 5 years) game and get the others in case I should really fancy the most recent title?

(while they *are* pretty cheap on sale, it feels a bit risky to buy all 3 in one go, just in case I shouldn't care for the series as a whole)

Hmm...looks pretty appealing as far as graphics are concerned.

Although, honestly I don't really know a thing about this game/series. I think I pretty much always assumed that it was some kind of "massive multiplayer" deal, and consequently of no interest to me.

However, it has mostly negative reviews on steam and I feel a bit uncertain about it's appeal. Maybe waiting for "Star Citizen" is the way to go...
