A new Steam Client Beta adds new Steam Controller features

Quoting: slaapliedjeI wonder who's fault it is that the steam controller doesn't work in Hero Siege on Linux. It works on Windows, but under Linux the game doesn't recognize it properly and so won't work at all. I'm guessing they need to update their controller detection library. Seems it really only detects an xbox 360 controller.
I have the same problem in Euro Truck Simulator 2. The Steam Controller is only recognized as a mouse and keyboard and not as a controller. The deverlopers told me in early-January that they're aware of the problem and working on a solution but a fix has yet to be released.
Even when launched through Steam Big Picture with controller config set to Xinput Gamepad in the Big Picture menu?
From what I've gathered, if Steam overlay isn't working for your game, the Steam Controller won't work either.

Shame on them for continuously updating their game and making other developers look bad. :D

In all seriousness, I've put in 40 hours, and I think I'm only about halfway through it. It has all the things I like: good story, decent combat, crafting, leveling, character customization and good visuals. I think it's probably the best turned-based game I've played.

Life Is Strange looks like it will come to SteamOS & Linux

Quoting: ziabiceI played the game under WINE, it works very well (it's an Unreal 3 game). Overall the game is not that great, my vote is 6/10.

Story is filled with cliches, ambiental interaction is near zero, you'll move into corridors and on rails, the story development is very slow. Some good characterization here and there, but nothing memorable. I was so bored I don't played the fifth episode (the game anyway ends at fourth episode).

I suggest you to buy it when on sale.
Yep, it works in Wine, and I like the game. I think the story is quite memorable.

Guys, this is quite obviously Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which runs on the Fox Engine. :D

Shadwen, the new stealth game from Frozenbyte has a playable Linux demo
24 Feb 2016 at 11:02 pm UTC

At first I thought there was a bug in the game making it freeze whenever the character wasn't moving. Now I see it's a "stop time" feature. This game will probably drive me crazy, but I'd buy it anyway. According to PC Gamer [External Link], the more we play the demo, the lower the price goes.

OVERLOAD, a Kickstarter from the original creators of Descent

Quoting: GoboI am amazed that they kept the deformed cube as the basic building block in level design for the reboot more than 20 years later. And in contrast to Underground Overload puts singleplayer first, multiplayer later.
Modders could really have a field day with those cube-based levels. And I prefer the singleplayer over multiplayer, so this game definitely gets my vote over Underground.

Stainless Games announce another Carmageddon game, Linux & Mac gamers not happy

This pretty much makes the name "Stainless" ironic.

This XCOM 2 video shows Linux and Windows very close in performance

This might be one case where I'd actually like the game to run slower so my soldiers aren't dying so quickly. :D
