Oxenfree is a clever, narrative driven supernatural thriller you should check out, my review

I personally liked it more than Life is Strange, I recommend getting it when on a larger discount. It has its charms, though it's not without flaws.

Faeria, the rather good free to play turn-based card battler has a final release and now official Linux support
8 Mar 2017 at 8:15 pm UTC

Tried it during beta and somehow didn't sit well with me. Don't get me wrong, it's a very fine game, but feels more built for rush then control decks, playing control makes games last long. Somehow it didn't hook me, but maybe I'll give it another chance at some point.

Looks like Telltale's 'The Walking Dead' may be coming to Linux
28 Feb 2017 at 8:26 pm UTC

I'm looking forward to other Telltale games being ported, The Wolf Among Us was something special for me couple of years ago. Very fun games, if you don't replay them and realize that you really only had illusion of choice.

The Exiled, the sandbox PvP MMO is now available on Linux in Early Access

Wanted to try it while it was in alpha, launcher didn't work, didn't want to bother any further. Maybe it's more polished by now.

AMD officially announce Ryzen 7 CPUs for launch on March 2nd

Upgrading my PC is well overdue, but I will hold out a little longer until Ryzen R5 comes out with 6 cores. With the price of around 250 euros it should be in the sweet spot. Add about 100 euros for a motherboard and as much for 16 GB of DDR4 RAM.

One thing missing is the graphic card, but for that I might have to wait. Nvidia's Volta should come out in May, mid-range offerings probably in the summer. AMD's new GPU architecture should come out as well, I just wish situation with the drivers for Linux was not so bad, right now they offer better bang for a buck, but only if you're running Windows.

The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' is huge and well worth picking up

Nice bundle, but I already own everything from it that I care about. Maybe only if someone has an extra key for No Time to Explain or Mini Metro.

Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port again
28 Jan 2017 at 11:06 am UTC

It's almost certainly Hitman, I'm afraid that game is not really my cup of tea. I'd really like Valiant Hearts: The Great War or something from Capcom or SquareEnix.

Some thoughts on the Shadowrun series
23 Jan 2017 at 9:10 pm UTC

Dragonfall is one of my favorite games. Hong Kong for me is a bit weaker, mostly due to more cliche writing. Some characters are interesting, like a crazy Russian; some not so much, like a generic angsty Duncan or some Bond villains. But HK still qualifies as a very good game.

I haven't played the first one yet because reviews mostly said you can skip that one and user reviews were lukewarm. I might give it a shot when I pick it up for cheap one day.

Appreciating how far Linux gaming has actually come in the past few years

I remember how I played a lot of Savage 2, as it was the only available Linux game that I liked back when I was starting with Linux.

Mesa 13.0.3 released with numerous bugfixes
5 Jan 2017 at 10:00 pm UTC

I'm happy that Mesa is developing quickly, but I don't know if Radeon cards are worth it on Linux. AMD currently has better offer in mid-range graphic card segment, but what's the point if many games won't work.
