This and Shadow of war are my most anticipated games.

Thanks to the developer for supporting Linux.

Quoting: mrdeathjr
Quoting: SpykerWhile DX11 support is making progress, I still have some bugs and issues with older games like Lord of Shadow 2.

WineHQ is advertising "platinum" support for this game, IMHO it's not the case even with this latest staging release.
Last time i test lords of shadow 2 runs stable in my case

Well it still runs now, but it's not without graphic glitches.
For example I miss the red halo effect when the hero performs a "soft" punch.
The game is also anormally slow when enabling vsync.
In any case it doesn't deserve the platinum support rank.

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2

Well, hopefully this will serve as a lesson for both customers and developers.
As customers we should not overreact to a bad product/port, especially if we can have a refund.
Now developers must also learn that shipping a broken product is terrible for their reputation (no matter the platform, or the later patch). Imagine if CDPR had shipped the Windows version in the same state the Linux one was in the beginning, they would have received a shit load of backslash.
I don't think the problem was with the Linux community, it's (unfortunately) a common behavior among gamers in general to overreact.

Insurgency: Sandstorm looks absolutely stunning, still planned to release on Linux

I'm glad they add a solo and coop story mode.
I don't like all those soulless multiplayer shooters, where all you do is fragging others.
Multiplayer only games are good for e-sport but not for me.

Quoting: ShmerlI wonder what happened to the Shadow Warrior 2. It was still supposedly coming, but there are no news.
It may be canceled if the Windows version didn't sell very well.
Sometimes Linux support drop out is because the game had poor reception in the first place.

Jonathan Blow's next game looks like it might support Linux

I watched the video, but still I didn't understand what the purpose of his new language. What problems does it solve that cannot be done in other modern languages ?

Flinthook, a fast action-platformer with roguelike elements releases day-1 for Linux

Quoting: GrimfistBoy, the pixel art and chiptune sounds are amazing, this is how pixel art should be done in 2017! For the gameplay, I think I am out here, looks to fast for me, I am not getting younger and my reflexes aren't that good anymore.
Don't worry you can slow down the time using the hero's "chrono belt".
