I expected to love the game because I loved Savage 2, but it just never worked for me. Others mention the problems, but in addition to that, the game is just too dark, fast and frenetic. It would actually be much better if you could play it from third person, like Savage. Aliens move too fast and in combat it's so easy to get lost and not know where you or the enemies are.

The game is generally good, but battles last a bit too long for my taste.

I've worked in technical support half my life and a lot of customers can be rude, even corporate customers that I'm dealing with now, let alone garden variety video gamers. So when they say they didn't port the game because people were rude to them, I can't help but laugh. People are quite often rude when your product is buggy and Witcher 2 for Linux on release was buggy as hell.

Port didn't make money, that's the only real reason we didn't get Witcher 3. I'm quite sad about that and hope they change their mind at some point. It's quite silly that we ended up only with the middle game which is considered the weakest of the three, we don't have either beginning or the end of the story.

It's almost certainly Rise of The Tomb Raider. While I appreciate that you ported the first Tomb Raider, I don't really care about the sequel. Sorry if I sound spoiled, you guys are doing a great work, it's just lately that ports are not really getting my attention.

What I'd really like is something like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Bayonetta, Dishonored, Brothers: Tale of Two Sons or Dragon's Dogma, although I get that those games are old and there is not much money in them anymore. I think most of us would prefer those rare 'must try' games rather than yet another shooter or RTS.

Could this be the first Steam summer sale where I don't buy anything? Few games that I had my eye on (Firewatch, Knee Deep, Cradle...) are still pricey.

HIB always had this way of mixing the games I really like with the games I couldn't care about less (yes, I'm looking at you, Goat Simulator). Fortunately, you can now separate how much you are giving to each game and I'm also overdue for a charity donation anyway. I'll be buying the full bundle since I want Owlboy, although it's not a great sign for the game when it has much higher critic score than user score on Metacritic.

I played it few years ago,but it quickly became stale with too few characters, while new ones were available only in paid DLCs. It will be fun at least to try out the new characters, though I don't know how much will I like the game this time around.

I also played a lot of it during early access when there wasn't much to do. I crafted the best armor and weapons and stopped playing, as that was about it.

The game is so much better now, but I couldn't get myself to play it, I lose interest after 10 minutes.

What other Mech game is there for Linux?

I played and quite liked Hawken back in my Windows days, I wouldn't mind having something like that.

In the end, this was a good thing. Unity was not bad, but there was honestly no need for it, we already have a bunch of desktop environments and it's best that the most popular distro follows the mainstream instead of trying to break away.

Mir is also gone, which is good, we don't need fragmentation there when the dev community is still small, let Wayland be the future for now.

This is also the final death for Compiz, a composite manager like we never had before or will have again. The development has already stopped years ago, but it still was used as framework for Unity. Eh, when I just remember what awesome effects Compiz had at its peak, people from other operating systems couldn't believe their eyes.

I'm sorry for the effort and money Canonical lost in development, but it's better for all that they finally decided to give up. I haven't seen what Gnome 3 looks like now, but if I don't like it, I'll just improve it with Cairo.
