Your description makes it sound kinda like Star Wars: Episode I: Racer, a game I loved as a kid. Might need to check this one out… :)

Crusader Kings II: Holy Fury smites its way to release, some thoughts
14 Nov 2018 at 9:57 am UTC

Does anyone know exactly how many new provinces got added to the map? I lost count somewhere around the sixth or seventh occurrence of "Added X new provinces to region <Y>" in the changelog, and haven't had time to go back and recount. :P

Equilinox, a relaxing nature simulation game launches with Linux support later this month

Wow, looks (and sounds) quite pretty, I'll have to check it out. I'm a big sucker for those low-poly stylized art styles. :)

Quoting: fabertaweI so nearly bought XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen in the last sale but have such a backlog of games I put it off. Looks like I'll miss the free expansion now.
It looks like if you pick up XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen before December 3rd you'll still get this expansion for free? I'm not 100% sure but that's what it seems to be saying.
Yes but not on sale ;)
Ahh, gotcha! :)

Theme park management tycoon 'Megaquarium' has fixed some Linux issues, Linux build now on GOG (updated)

Time to pick this up then! I was waiting for the issues to be resolved and the Linux icon to reappear on Steam. :)

Spaceship building and exploration game Reassembly has a major performance update
2 Oct 2018 at 9:11 am UTC

I helped Kickstart this game, then played a few hours and discovered I just wasn't as interested in it as I'd thought. I don't regret it, though, my little brothers got a lot of playtime out of it and I'm happy to have helped bring something to fruition that other people can enjoy in the future. :D

Build the aquarium you always wanted in Megaquarium, out now for Linux
15 Sep 2018 at 12:33 pm UTC

Quoting: DraconicroseI've been following the development of this one for a while. It's funny, I really like it though it's a bit different than my usual games. Kinda reminds me of the old zoo tycoon: marine mania. :P Too bad we don't get whales. Anyway, just in case anyone is interested, have my let's play [External Link].
I actually bought Zoo Tycoon (and its two expansions) after being inspired by visiting a zoo (the San Diego zoo, maybe?), and spent a lot of happy hours with it. This looks like a great game, I'll check out your Let's Play while I wait for it to return to Linux. :)

Europa Universalis IV: Dharma is now available, some thoughts
8 Sep 2018 at 9:50 am UTC

Quoting: "BTRE"It’ll otherwise feel a little threadbare if there isn’t more variety possible there for fan-favorite nations like the Ottomans or Prussia.
Note: I bought Dharma today but haven't had a chance to play it yet, but: I think I remember reading in the developer diaries that countries that had unique governments before now have unique government reforms. It might be just the initial one, but they'll still be unique. That being said, now that this new system is in place, you can be a hundred percent sure future DLCs will introduce unique reforms for a lot more countries now that it's so easy to differentiate them without having to code up a whole new government.
