Quoting: zimplex1I personally have no interest in this. The graphics look very bad, especially for a $12(US) game.
Graphics don't make a game :)

Quoting: Xpanderhmm video has been removed...

but looks good indeed
Weird, they uploaded another one, they must have noticed an issue and re-did a bit or something. Fixed in the article for the fresh one.

Silence from Daedalic Entertainment is an absolutely beautiful story-rich adventure game, my thoughts on it

Quoting: MGOidWitch engine are they using? Looks like it lacks advanced lighting effects.
It's a Unity game.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, as I said,
I have yet to see a smidgen of evidence that Steam Machines in specific helped foster game development on Linux.
So yeah, I think your talk about all the games and so on, implying that they are there because of the Steam Machine, is simply wrong.
Oh really?
Quoting: FeralThe catalyst has been the Steam OS and the Steam Machine. That convinced us that Linux could support AAA games.
Are you sure sir?
Quoting: Aspyrwhen Valve decided to enter the market with SteamOS we knew we would be well positioned to service a small but growing community

Quoting: liamdaweDoesn't look like I'm getting a review key.

I emailed them directly, included a link to GOL and their reply was essentially "do you have a website", I pointed out the obvious fact that I already sent it to them and then they asked about our traffic. Since then, they didn't reply again.

Looks like I won't be giving this one any thoughts or videos.
I sent them a final reminder and they did actually send me a key, so I can actually take a look now.

Quoting: mahimahisSeems like I'm overestimating what this card is capable of,

lowering the resolution to 1280x800 solved most of the issues

my bad :O
Quite possible you were hitting a VRAM limit then by the sounds of it.

You might want to keep an eye on 'Silence', the new point & click adventure from Daedalic Entertainment

I'm playing it through at the moment, and I can already tell you that the Linux version seems to work perfectly.
Really? I think this would be the first Daedalic game to at correctly save and restore options (all about four...) on Linux!
It uses Unity, so maybe that's why.

FEZ and Enclave are now both available on GOG for Linux

Quoting: Beta Version
A user requested it back in 2003 on the forum

Oops, fixed!
