Almost seems like this game is going for a similar vibe as The Division.

From a purely graphical standpoint, it looks phenomenal, at, or even beyond, Metro Redux quality. Hopefully the game plays as well as it looks good.

Edit: After reading more about it on their website this game sounds amazing, like, too good to be true amazing. Hopefully it delivers.

Quoting: runeI did a google search, and i found more info about the game [External Link]:

From driving to shooting to scene-searching, Kôna combines the atmosphere and immersion of a modern survival title with the deep storytelling and puzzle-solving aspects of a traditional adventure game. By blending and wrapping several gameplay mechanics around its scenario, the game aims to blur the lines that define today’s genres.

Cool. At least it sounds like it's more than just a walking simulator. Hopefully it turns out well.

There was a graphical glitch on Nvidia Maxwell cards where you'd have small squares sometimes appear on screen, but that bug has since been fixed. It wasn't game breaking, or anything, but it was annoying, so I'm glad they fixed it quickly. The voice acting in this game is next-level cringe, but the puzzles are pretty good. The difficulty curve, for me, has been quite good, granted I've played for just under 3 hours. Hopefully some really devilish puzzles pop up later. The puzzles all revolve around gravity and manipulating it to achieve your objective.

I'm having fun with it so far. If you want to see the game in action (and hear the hilariously bad voice acting), check it out:

Nice try, still not pre-ordering. I may but it around launch, though, assuming it reviews well. Full launch, not early access. Honestly, I still don't know exactly what you do in the game. Is it a walking simulator? Are there puzzles? Does it have survival elements?

Well, it has got System Requirements for Linux, so I hope for the best ;)

My guess is that they wrote their game description and what platforms it was on before they added Linux support. As recently as December they didn't have plans for Linux, yet this changed about a week ago, as evidenced in this thread:

A point & click detective mystery? Color me interested.

Formula 1, meaning likely F1 2015 is the obvious answer here. Maybe too obvious.

Quoting: FredOSo 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.

Sometime in 2014 Crytek fell on hard financial times and did some restructuring. For a period of time Crytek was unable (or unwilling) to pay employees, including those working at Crytek UK (formerly Free Radical Design). Crytek sold the Homefront IP to Deep Silver and laid off the entire staff of Crytek UK. Said staff became the newly established Dambuster Studios owned by Koch Media (Deep Silver's parent company) and continued to work on the game.

I'm really happy to hear this. The first Homefront game had a lot of potential but was a rather underwhelming experience that was fairly quickly forgotten by the public at large. When this game was first announced I didn't have much interest in it, on account of the aforementioned first game being so underwhelming, but when they showed off the first gameplay footage and detailed how the game would work, I was impressed.

Then the whole Crytek financial situation happened. The studio making this game nearly shut down and it was looking like this would be a cancelled project. Deep Silver stepped in and bought the IP and essentially the entire studio that was making the game, saving the game. Still, even with Deep Silver's recent Linux-friendly attitude, I was worried about the status of the Linux version of this game, given how close the game came to not existing at all.

Seeing this response makes me quite happy. Assuming the game gets a good reception, I'll happily pick this up on launch or shortly thereafter (depending on when reviews appear) at full price.
