It's really refreshing to see devs care about their game even after release. I wish we'd see such dedication more often.

It's a really good game and a lot of fun to play. I already spent more time with it than I thought. They could add some more objects for the inmates and staff to interact with (sports equipment and more entertainment maybe), and do away with some quirks (if you expand your building it will tear down the walls you attached the expansion to for no good reason, and the rehab programs -really- should get their own time slots in the regime setup instead of using "work"). But I am pretty happy with it overall.

I am absolutely not a fan of using voice com when gaming, but a lot of people are. So it's great to see these applications getting supported in Linux, so Linux gamers aren't left out when playing cross-platform games.

I rarely use Wine myself as I can't be bothered getting a game to run using the usual trial-and-error method it takes to make Wine run...basically anything. Without much hope that it will actually run well, of course. Seriously, anything tagged as "Bronze" or "Silver" in their DB is usually an unplayable mess. And that's the majority of the games listed there, after all. Even the "Gold" tagged games usually remind me why I am keeping a Windows partition around. So if someone can bundle me a game with Wine in a fashion that it -feels- like a native port, be my guest. In the end I just want something that runs out of the box.

Quoting: lucifertdarkDid anyone ask about the DLC? is it worth buying the GOTY edition?

I can't remember the DLC being all that meaningful.

Quoting: KimyrielleI can't find a single reference if this game can be played in 3rd person view. Can it?

No, sorry mate. It's strictly first person.

Awww, too bad. Thanks for the reply! :)

Quoting: jf33Is there any chance they release it on GOG.com? Because I would really like to buy it, but I don't spend money on non-DRM-free games.

Very little. The person in charge at SE is a huge fan of DRM. At least it's "just" the regular Steam DRM, which, for what it's worth, is comparatively non-invasive by DRM standards. They are not Rockstar or Ubisoft.

Awesome to see SE coming to Linux and porting major titles. SE is one of the very few major publishers I still was missing on Linux (Bethesda is the only other one I can think of right now.)

Can we have Rise of the Tomb Raider, too? :D

This is still probably my overall favourite game on Linux and by far the best city builder ever made (it's so much better than that garbage that is EA's latest SimCity). I am glad to see continued support for it. I wish they would add tunnels to the map maker tool as well, though. And add roads wider than six lanes. I know that in Europe six lanes is considered a lot, but here in North America a proper freeway has at least eight if not ten lanes. :D
And if they wanted to be really nice they could change the botched Snowfall DLC to using actual seasons instead of permafrost.

The performance seems to be still mostly ok for me, though. It might be better in Windows, but it's still playable in Linux.
