There's 2 games I would categorize into the awesomeness of this game; Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons (sadly never left the windowed garden of Eden), and Papo & Yo. Both games I only played once, but both were a gaming experience to be remembered in their own right.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionIs Dungeon Defenders mouse sensitivity still broken on Linux?
I'm not aware of any mouse sensitivity problems in Dungeon Defenders. We normally play 4 player local co-op, with M+K, 2 x 360 controllers and 1 steam controller. Just avoid the Series EV class, because that will crash the game at some point. Otherwise it's solid, and still one of the better local co-op games in my book.

Quoting: leillo1975Can someone install the game in a NTFS partition to test if this is the problem?
I've got it running fine on a NTFS partition. I've done a couple of quick battles and started a campaign without any crashes.

The only game that would not start for me on an NTFS partition was Viktor Vran, and there I had to add my user ID to the NTFS mount because default permissions were not enough - no idea why.

So will this be the first CryEngine game released on Linux? I'm a bit lost how Deep Silver ended up publishing this - looks like I missed something there.

I got this with the Steam Controller order (like many I guess), so I'm looking forward to finally hittin' some ball around! According to Steamspy there's more than 2 million copies sold, so the game is huge.

Looks like Total War: Rome II might not be coming to Linux & SteamOS now

I would read "There's no updates" as meaning that he has no news on it. Anyway it would seem a strange move to release only Attila and not Rome2 as well.

Hand of Fate is a brilliant game, you should really give it a go on Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: FredOThis game is really great, and I've put quite a few hours into it since release. The 4 free updates add plenty of replay-ability, and that together with the Murder at Sea update from June. I still haven't been able to beat the final battle in the story mode though, still working on that one...
What difficulty level are you doing it on?
I've been playing on the "normal" level, but I also tried on apprentice for the final battle. The issue is that it's in multiple "waves" and no chance to get health back in between, unless there's a health regeneration item that I've missed. I've been close a couple of times, so I'll just keep trying I guess.
