Yooka-Laylee released with day-1 Linux support, some quick initial thoughts
12 April 2017 at 8:41 pm UTC

Well had a chance to play this for an hour today.. correction, my 6yo daughter did, she would not let me have the controller (except when it was tricky)

Once the libudev tweak is done the game launches just fine with a controller. The game was nice and smooth via steam link and no need to configure the controller.

The game is a nice open-ish world platform game with mini puzzles (got beaten in some damn race).

I haven't tried the arcade section yet.
It's a nice fun platformer and seems good for kids or general time wasting

ok it looks like it is hte libudev that ships with steam clashing with the distro provided layer...
I am now playing via steam controller. Ill try via SteamLink tomorrow (I just need to get to the 1st save point because the 1st cust scene is unskippable and it is now damn annoying)

Quoting: Naibthe game crashes with any controller plugged in ... YET reports are saying to stand a chance to play well you need a controller HERPDERP...

This explains why the game crashed for me via steamLink. Went in via the desktop and yup.. crash

Quoting: Whitewolfe80
Quoting: ElvanexI picked this game up a few months ago on your recommendation, and it has quickly become my go to shooter, and replaced CS:GO for me completely. :) Definitely more than worth the price, and a very high quality Linux version. This game needs more attention for sure.

it needs more players for sure very worried it wont be around in a year
That is my concern. I like going to csgo for a quick frag but sometimes I just want to run around and shoot and csgo isn't the greatest for that

This is, but as you say... it might not be around. its cheap so i won't be too out of pocket as long as i play it a bit more but still...

Why do I get the feeling this isn't actually a game BUT a virtual terminal into real world big brother activities and big gov'n will make use of its citizens...
