I second the review. The game is good - not great like Life is Strange, but very good. It kept me interested and immersed in the story. Yes, both the audio and art really helped. The length is ok for such a single-plot mini story.

I really liked time limits on responses, you can get conversation flow nicely. One difficulty: I'm not a native English speaker and listening, reading responses and assessing the impact of choice was sometimes too much for me.

One of few games that made proper use of my Gravis Ultrasound back in those times :)

Yes, yes, yes, moar Warhammer on Linux/SteamOS!

Pity that Vermintide or Eternal Crusade are not available on Linux/SteamOS. Hoping to see Dawn of War 3 ported.

(yes, I love both Warhammer Fantasy and WH40k)

8GB and I haven't experienced any swapping yet while gaming. I don't play modded Cities Skylines though.

Quoting: elmapul

Quoting: edowhat if one of those games is an exciting continuation of the portal story, but 99% of the gamers cant play it since they does not own a VR device?

portal? impossible, vr makes people dizzy quite fast

A recipe for great fun in VR:

1. Put both portals on the floor.
2. Jump into one of portals.
3. Emerge from the other portal.
4. Flip 180 degrees and fall back into the portal.
5. Rinse and repeat.
6. Puke violently.

With Vulkan becoming mainstream, SteamVR about to be released and the next Debian stable release round the corner, can we expect a new SteamOS release and a new push for Steam Machines soon?

I recommend getting and playing To the Moon. It has this old jRPG graphics, but is more of an adventure/puzzle game than an RPG. The story is engaging, music excellent. One thing that might be negative for some: overwhelming sadness, even if the story offers some glimpses of hope and even joy.

On another note, Fumiko!, a platformer about an AI, has been released and it's 25% off. http://store.steampowered.com/app/563810/ [External Link]

I have been a fan of Bethesda games since, well, Daggerfall. Morrowind is for me the best cRPGs ever, even today. Dishonored, Skyrim, TESO, even Fallout 3.

But while I'd love to play DOOM or Dishonored 2 (or Witcher 3, though not from Bethesda), I don't feel like paying Bethesda (or CDProjekt) and then having to struggle to get them running with Wine. Between Feral and plethora of great indies I have more than enough to play. It's not like it's Nethack or Quake and little more.

Quoting: TeodosioNow if these games were SteamOS, GNU/Linux exclusives that would be good. Yes I know this comment is not politically correct but we need to start some serious pushing if we want to get somewhere.

I wonder how big is the intersection of Linux players and early VR adopters, and how much would each buyer need to pay to for the game to break even?
