Like in 2015, still lots of DOTA and lots of Insurgency. Recently picked up the great adventure game named The Raven, by KingArt studio.

One reason I used to love Desura so much was their open source app, although that turned sour due to licensing changes for contributors, and now Desura is bankrupt so Itch.io is now my favourite smaller store.I can also recommend IndieGameStand, no desktop client, but a nice alternative supporting Linux from the very beginning.

Quoting: AsavarTzethYes, that is correct :)Quoting: hardpenguinThat would be a huge step backwards considered that SDL2 and Unity3d freed us from the no ALT+TAB misery of old fullscreen Linux games.Correct me if I remember this wrong, but SDL2 basically handles all fullscreen games like a borderless window, by default. This is one of the reasons we have so few alt+tab/workspace issues. I tend to hear a lot of Windows gamer/enthusiasts much prefer this setting. I can see why.
This is great when you are convincing switchers if you ask me.

Hybrid Beasts, a quality looking turn-based action game like Worms coming to Linux

Since I can play Worms Reloaded (from original Worms series) and/or Hedgewars (the best Worms clone available), which are both pretty good, I don't think this game has anything new to offer...

Quoting: KeizgonPorting their Mac catalogue to Linux would require refreshing (extending to Linux) the deal with the original publisher and putting some extra work into it. My guess is that releasing a new game for both Mac and Linux is usually just more profitable than doing it for Linux only. And they have limited recources considered Steam Machines being around the corner etc.Quoting: maodzedunI hope they port the previous games as well - Arkham City is effing amazing.Which makes me wonder why they (Feral [External Link] and Aspyr [External Link]) haven't ported their Mac catalog over?
Though, I'm not complaining. They're doing pretty well as is with newer titles.
