GOG have new games up on GOG Connect, big sale still going

I am wary of the procedural generation in Chasm. It rarely works well - although Sundered nailed it, much to my surprise. It always seems to be an excuse to avoid hand-crafting levels. Does Chasm tie it well enough to the story?

Quoting: scaineChasm, btw? Absolute excellent! Like Hollow Knight with pixel graphics, only better gameplay (no constantly working back to your shattered shell) and faster progression (I still have a few abilities to collect though) and less weird characters/atmosphere. It also features different weapon types and the enemies are generally less frustrating to deal with.Thanks for the perspective. I didn't find Hollow Knight frustrating (just hard).
I realise that sounds like I'm shitting on Hollow Knight, but I really enjoyed the game, but couldn't get past its frustrating failures.
Chasm is really superb.

I have drifted away from GOG with the development of Proton. For Linux, it really is Valve's killer app.
In principle, I like what GOG does and Valve needs good competition to stay honest. My one question is: Do any of these FOSS clients support incremental updates? Downloading 2GB+ every time a dev patches their game is another reason I don't use GOG as much.

Just to add - I voted for Supraland for best game award. I really thought it was an awesome surprise with a great mix of gameplay ideas. Pure fun.

The main change seems to be four grip buttons on the back (instead of two). Maybe force sensitive this time.

Some thoughts on Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power

I remember enjoying it back when I played it. The new perspective didn't bother me much and the visual style, voice acting, and basic puzzle design were still good. Being only half a story was an issue, though.
Some day I might pick up number 4. Too bad it won't be native on Linux.

So, instead of HL 3 they release HL 1.5 in a form I can't play. Smooth...
Well, I still hope they sell a boatload of copies and start actually making more (real) games instead of only online crap I don't care about.
Me, bitter?

Great style. If it is as good as Hyper Light Drifter, that would be awesome...

Thanks for the heads-up. For $3 CAD, I thought it looked promising enough to pick up.
It is actually quite good. Remarkably polished. Challenging without being frustrating. The music is good for a simple puzzle game.

Quoting: GrifterThen why is this line in the update?Quoting: no_information_hereI like that it will enable the steam overlay for the controller without forcing me into big picture mode.It's always done that for me previously :s
