'Duke Grabowski, Mighty Swashbuckler', a great looking point-and-click adventure is now on Linux
20 October 2016 at 9:48 am UTC Likes: 1

I backed this one through Kickstarter. It's not a bad game, it's just a shame it didn't have a bigger budget to play with. The music and background art are quite well done. Has a bit of a Monkey Island style feel.

The animations are a bit of a let down though, and I'm not sure if the voice of Duke (also Duke Nukem) is quite the right fit. That could just be how I imagine him sounding in my head though.

The controls are also a little clunky, though pretty easy to pick up. The puzzles themselves don't seem too taxing (so far!)

Quoting: hidekinI could max out the game in 4k with a 770 at 60fps with windows. I don't know what configuration you've but if the port is good it wouldn't be so difficult :D

But could you mad max it out? ;)

What have you been playing recently, and what do you think?

Very fun stealth game, and one I may actually finish.

Same. Aragami has been fun - and frustrating when I screw up!

Have also gone back to Pillars of Eternity, to try and get it knocked over before Tyranny comes out.

The test download worked fine for me, just had to follow the included text file. Game looks good, so hopefully they can do it quickly!

Been a long time since the good old text parser has been in a game. Looks a bit more modernized than the Kings Quest days though.

I backed Gianna sisters as well, but I was still using Windows at the time. I thought they gave no guarantees on Linux support..?

The Steam Hardware Survey for August 2016 shows Linux has grown again

Quoting: GuestLack of a competitive e-mail client is truly the bane of Linux for business. If it wasn't for that, Linux would have a much easier time competing in the business space.

There is always Office 365. Can't install the client though.

I picked this up the other day on Steam. Runs beautifully. Haven't come across any problems at all (as yet anyway)

Dear Valve and Steam Machines OEMs, you have it all wrong

QuoteThe Steam Linux client and the games that have ported may be all we end up left with - which is a lot! But it's not a future very bright for Steam Machines.

I clicked like because I agree with what you're saying. But it made me sad inside :(
