And the following month, in roundtable interviews with PC Gamer, Newell said that Valve was working on "three big VR games."

• Half Life 3


• Portal 3


• Left 4 Dead 3

I am less sure about the last one but the first two seems obvious.

Portal 3 is the obvious choice for a VR game. I'm not so sure about HL3

I'll consider buying it when they list it as linux compatible

Quoting: PatolaThis game is on my wishlist, I am really looking forward to buying it at some time. Curiously enough, at some time I bought the game "Satellite Reign" because I found it beautiful and it was super cheap, but I thought it was a simple action game, or in the best case a dumbed-down action RPG. After trying to play it a few times and being killed at every minute, I let it down for a while, and at some time I started looking at some gameplays and saw that the game is incredibly sophisticated, complex and rich, and THEN I started using tactical and strategic thinking and now I am addicted to it, enjoying every little moment, and somehow upset because it offers "only" about 90 hours of gameplay. So, I saw that Shadow Tactics is pretty much the same kind of game (a weird mix of RPG + RTS) and I will buy this game to fuel my newly acquired addiction. Any of you know any good games in that style for Linux besides Satellite Reign and Shadow Tactics?

I own both and while on the surface they may look similar, they are totally different genre imo. Satellite Reign has rpg/progression components and the world is more "sandboxy", and people compare it with the old Syndicate (I haven't played it) while Shadow Tactics is a Commandos-like: each level is carefully designed, enemies have a predictable behaviour and everything is laid out almost like a puzzle that you have to solve using specific abilities of each of your characters.

There are not many games like those, let alone in linux. I would take a look at Commandos 1+2; they are old games but still let themselves play very well and at least the first works in Wine without a problem. Also "Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive" and "Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood"

Glorious Linux Master Race

Quoting: scaineBloodwych! Nostalgia ahoy! I played hundreds of hours of that as an early teen with my best friend at the time, two characters each. Amazing game.

Also, Hired Guns - not joking, me and three mates completed that over various sessions by playing two mice plugged into the Amiga, and one player on each side of the keyboard. What a game!

But yeah, it was Dungeon Master that made it all possible. Completed it countless times - four player party, three player party, two player party, but I don't think I managed it with just a single character.

So, yeah, played a lot of these - Fall of the Dungeon Guardians was the most recent one, but I found it just too much to keep track of. Much more tactical than something like Legend of Grimrock.

Bloodwych was my first RPG ever IIRC when I was like 8-10 years old :)

If you are up to it, try Eye Of The Beholder I and II. These two are dungeon crawler perfection imo. The first one is not that long, but it has extremely good atmosphere and straight forward mechanics.

Looks awesome. I'll definitely keep an eye on it.

Quoting: Al3sI play Picross Touch on Steam for free. It's pretty similar to this, although a bit simpler, but it has a workshop with hundreds of user created levels.

Don't you have a problem with game color? I've just start playing and no matter what the color of the game is light green. More people have this problem on Linux :( (steam topic [External Link]).

Yeah, I have that problem, too. What are you going to do? *shrugs*

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI cried like a hungry baby with To The Moon.

I cried like a fountain with Undertale! Still need to play To The Moon. So many great games, so little time!

To The Moon is only 4 hours, there is no excuse. I would recommend playing it in one sitting, tho.
