I transferred 3 games likewise (Not a Hero; Dropsy; Amnesia Dark Descent). Plenty of Linux titles this time around on Connect.

Shotgun Farmers, a totally hilarious FPS where your bullets grow the guns is out in Early Access

I wish the weapon growing mechanics were better illustrated in the trailer. They just show that it exists, not whether you can do anything interesting with it.

Quoting: strycorePaladins and Ubisoft DRM are not fixed in this release.

Are you referring to the 'connection lost' error on UPlay?

Sigh... be sensible, you casuals. Your silliness tickles my innards. Alas, Linux gaming is now infested by silly people. Here are some guesses based on my immaculate knowledge of the industry:

Final Fantasy 18
Uncharted 5
Halo 8
Super Mario Galaxy 4

It has to be one of these, hurr durr durr.

Playstation 3 emulator 'RPCS3' has improved Linux support recently
18 Apr 2017 at 9:52 am UTC

Cloning from git right now. The official website looks interesting, though it puzzles me as to why they explicitly list all those commercial games, and have patreon links, etc. I'm asking this as a totally clueless noob, but wouldn't that draw the ire of Sony et al.?

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition officially announced with Linux support
29 Mar 2017 at 11:00 am UTC

The 3D character renders and animations in this game really haven't aged well, IMHO. The environments are great; but especially in cutscenes, the awkwardly moving blocky characters look distractingly ridiculous. I would've expected them to retouch those; but it doesn't look like they're updating the graphics at all.

Persia & Macedon coming to Civilization VI with a double content pack and a big update
24 Mar 2017 at 4:11 pm UTC

Do 'leaders' speak their own languages in diplomacy screens? I wonder whether there's any improvement in that regard over Civ V, where a few of the languages reportedly had absurd scripts, and amateurish 'voice acting'.

I can tell from my own knowledge that the Turkish was appallingly bad (unidiomatic, awful choice of words, 'acted' by an obvious amateur); I'm told some of the Greek (either Alexander or Theodora) didn't make much sense either.
