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

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
Nvidia release Linux beta driver with Vulkan

Quoting: fishxzthe nvidia driver doesnt seem to run on newer kernels: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5501095#post5501095 [External Link]

same problem for me and even with the workaround the xserver keeps crashing after few seconds.
It kind of makes you wonder what Nvidia is running in their internal tests. It would be nice if they shared that kind of information. Anyway, it's great to see them making progress.
XCOM 2 strategy game reviewed on Linux

I found a potentially game-breaking bug (on all platforms). If you are on a mission where there are Chryssalid pods, do not attempt to save. That save game will be corrupted. If you are on an Ironman run, you could potentially corrupt your game completely and have no way to fix it. You can read more about it on reddit [External Link].
Cities: Skylines to get a free Theme Editor, with way more map customization options

Quoting: GuestLike other comments, still also waiting on that OpenGL performance patch or upgrade to Vulkan before I donate to those devs. Points for getting it on Linux, but I refuse to support shoddy OpenGL development and shoddy Linux releases in general.
Unfortunately, I think you might be waiting indefinitely if performance improvements depend on the Unity3d Engine developers improving their engine.
Tomb Raider really does look like it's coming to Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: wleoncioSo, if this comes through, who do we thank (besides Feral, obviously): the developer (Crystal Dynamics) or the publisher (Square Enix)?
It looks like Squenix finally drank the Linux kool-aid. There's no turning back now.
