Nice, I might have to have a wee look next week. I see they released the 2 standalone expansions for COH2 today as well - they have been busy cats lately :-)

PAYDAY 2 now available on SteamOS & Linux, free to try for a few days

It seems to be a solid port - good stuff. It looks like they use a large amount of vector shading which might partially explain the good performance. It looks like the wait was well worth it, especially for the Alienware Steam machine owners :-)

Shadowrun Hong Kong
The Banner Saga
Total War: Attila

Each of them are great games in their own category.

DiRT Rally also looks like it's coming to SteamOS & Linux

I'm really happy they chose to port this instead of Dirt 3. This just looks so good.

Star Citizen update, they are considering Vulkan

It will be VERY interesting if they choose to focus on Vulkan over DX12! Of course we know it makes total sense from a cross-platform perspective, so let's see the ball start rolling.

A Linux & Mac version of Stardew Valley depends on sales from Windows to happen

If Steamspy can be believed, they've out-sold SFV in the first 5 days since release, so I don't think sales are a problem. Steamspy do warn that they're still in Beta, so the numbers a just guidelines. It's a positive indicator in any case though.

The Witcher 3
Total War: Rome2 (At least an official status update this year would be good!)
Mad Max
Dirt Rally
Some Tomb Raider goodness.

Deponia Doomsday coming to Linux on March 1st

Quoting: Blob
Quoting: Segata SanshiroWhaaaaaaat??? How did I not know this was in development?!?! This is an instabuy for me, I love Deponia and coincidentally replaying the trilogy now so this is perfect timing. Really excited :D

Quoting: NatedawgI could be wrong, but weren't the Deponia games made in Godot? :)
It's Wintermute engine like Daedalic's other games. I don't think Godot was even around when the first game came out. Would be super cool if they switched to it though!
I'm pretty sure it was made with Visionaire Adventure Game Engine.
Yes, the Deponia games are made with the Visionaire engine (www.visionaire-studio.net/cms/adventure-game-engine.html).

It`s really nice to see a new Deponia installment - I didn't see that coming.
