Vambrace: Cold Soul is my current favourite. Version 1.05 fixes a lot of niggles I had with the balance and gameplay, and the game is faultless to play. It also looks, ahem... stunning ;-)

Also looking forward to delving back into ATOM RPG, with its new content. Also on my list to play are Hedon and Undead Horde.

Can someone tell me what all the fuss about having GOG Galaxy on Linux is? Speaking personally, I couldn't care less whether there is a client for GOG or not. Whilst clients for storefronts can be useful, I'm interested in the availability of games for Linux.

If Galaxy was to be available for Linux then what real difference is there from Steam? After all, some games even come with Galaxy dependencies.

Picked this up last week. Do we know if the DLC will be ported as well?

What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

I've been playing Dusk and Amid Evil: both really good old-school FPS games. Also recently completed the second level of the Ion Maiden demo.

Have also got back into Sunless Skies recently with the full release now being available. The writing and lore behind the game is amazing, and the music really suits the atmosphere. Love it :-)

Talking point: What are you playing this weekend?

Was trying to play Shroud of the Avatar: FV this evening but it began running like a stop-motion video and so I had to bail. My internet connection isn't shoddy either!

An update on INSOMNIA: The Ark for Linux, still coming but no ETA

The game 'runs' on Wine/Proton, though the FPS is often criminally poor (it has improved with the 1.4 update a little).

Some of the mission logs have yet to be translated and some of the inventory images are still placeholders. However, underneath all that is a pretty impressive and deep RPG story which I am thoroughly enjoying at the moment!

Some Linux games we’re excited to see in 2019, a list to keep you going

I'm definitely looking forward to Hellpoint, Jupiter Hell, We Happy Few, Indivisible and SS4 (of course!). Still got a load of unplayed games from the recent Steam sale, plus several LEGO games to play with my daughter :-)

Compulsion Games confirm a Linux version of We Happy Few is coming next year

Good to hear. I honestly thought this had been quietly dropped :-)

Quoting: liamdaweOuch, another botched release? Was hoping that wouldn't happen after The Witcher 2.
Works fine on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system. The videos are rather lumpy but the gameplay is fairly smooth on my GTX 970.
Yes, they did multiple patches and so now it should work.
Ah, fairy 'nuff :-)
