I want to watch, but spoilers.
Nothing is happening, just few minutes running around the city.

Quoting: CreakRendering is better with Unity 5, but shadows are almost inexistent...
They were definitely too sharp with Unity 4, but there are almost missing with Unity 5.
All shadows are still there, only this time they are soft shadows instead of hard shadows, so harder to notice.

Should have featured this in the article if I'd known about it. The difference in lighting is also great, far more realistic shadows in Unity 5.
I added it to your article but no one seemed to notice.

In this light maybe we should be more grateful and helpful to devs that do and plan to support Linux, even when their games are not running perfectly at first.

I must be lucky since I had zero issues with this game (two monitors etc). But then again, I didn't played much.
In any case, look at the bright side; we have another engine (Silk?) running on Linux.

A Four Way Comparison For Alien: Isolation Shows Off The Performance Difference

Quoting: XaeroVincentThanks for the info. Hmm. Have you by chance tried these games on other modern distributions? Could it be the more modern Linux OS stack (compared to SteamOS 1.0) causing problems? I wonder how games would perform doing a SteamOS 1.0 vs 2.0 vs Ubuntu 15.10 vs Archlinux / Antergos benchmark with all the same latest Nvidia drivers.
Don't know about Arch, but Ubuntu 15.10 also has a somewhat lower performance.
