Rise of the Tomb Raider is now officially available on Linux, here’s a look at it with benchmarks

I know this has been discussed before, but I'm still unsure. Got RotR with my Humble Monthly some time ago. If I retrieve and claim my Steam key now - will Feral get anything? Are Steam keys linked to a certain price? I suppose if I buy an additional key on Humble Bundle now, they'll get more or less the same amount as they get when buying on Steam, right?

As a fair warning , the grind can be a pain.
Well, after all it's F2P and if it wasn't for the grind it would be difficult to create new content, keep existing players interested and attract new players. OTOH: Up to tier 3 the grind is quite bearable (particularly if you spend some real money on some premium vehicles) and IMO the fights there are the most entertaining ones.

Ended up being quite put off by the amount of pro Russian bias in the game though. I'd sunk a bit of time and money into the German tree but at mid tiers the t-34 is all you'll ever face and it completely owns.
If this bias really existed - why don't you play the Russian tanks? For my part I'm at least as successful with the other nations (with the exception of Japanese and French tanks).

Quoting: fractalWord of advice to any new users - skip Arcade mode and go straight into the Realistic mode, this is where the game shines and actually differs from miseryware such World of X series.
Depends. I like arcade with planes. Fiddling with engine management and observing maximum speeds before your wing rips are kinda "too much for the quick in-between game". With tanks I wholeheartedly recommend realistic. Most of the possible tactics with different types of vehicles are gone, when you are marked on the map and highlighted in the aiming sight.

Shooty Skies from the creators of Crossy Road is now on Steam with Linux support, it's nuts

Indeed. I should have thought about the locale setting. Works properly now.

Can't confirm that. Even on the lowest level the difficulty is absolutely absurd. I wonder whether this is a bug. It is definitely buggy since at one point my aircraft was invisible, the level scrolled on to the first boss and stayed there. All I could do was Alt-F4 the game.

Edit: Definitely a bug. Comparing with a gameplay video from the Steam forums my version runs about 10 times as fast as the one in the video.

KING Art may be doing a Kickstarter for RTS 'Iron Harvest', they're asking for feedback

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhat a weird question...

On which platform would you like to play Iron Harvest on the most*?
*We are developing IH for PC first. The Kickstarter campaign and all Alpha/Beta builds will be PC-only. We’d like to gauge the level of interest in versions for other platforms.

Windows PC
PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 4 Pro
Xbox One / Xbox One X
MacOS
Linux
And it is single-choice.
Should be multiple choice, really. Even people who dual-boot are rather likely to pick Windows as they just know it makes most sense.
Why? It says the most. If this is too difficult to grasp: Just click the Linux option and be done.

Doom (2016)
Wolfenstein (preferably II: TNC, but I'd also accept TNO or TBO)
Witcher 3

Realistic racing game 'DRAG' coming to Linux soon, built on Linux and it looks astonishing

If this game lives only half up to what screenshots and blog posts promise it is gonna be something truly astounding for a two-man team. I'll definitely buy it and if it is only to support something that inspiring.

Just bought. Mainly because I like the developers attitude (demonstrated by having the source on GitHub). All the better if the game is good, too.
