What Linux games are you looking forward to this year? Here's my top picks

There is no game on the horizon that I am looking forward to at this time.

I am still playing

  • The Fall Part 2: Unbound

  • Butcher

  • Sage Fusion

  • Sage Fusion 2

  • Sunset Rider: Mask of Arcadius


I will say that the next game that I plan to get must be a text based game since I've been going back to a lot of text based games and playing a lot of freeware VNs. A lot of games that I put on my backlog list and finally got around to were really underwhelming. These short horror and sci-fi text based games have been hitting the mark. So if anyone knows of any up and coming drm-free linux native text based games - feel free to recommend them to me.
There's hints of the 'SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics' pack coming to Linux

Awhile back DOTEMU gave out many of these for free as a promo when they were selling them. If they come out with a DRM-FREE version of these like SNK/NeoGeo/Playmore did with Humble Bundle and now GOG. I think all companies that still have legal claim to ROMs should sell ROMS. Make it easier for the retro scene to get their stuff legally and without issue.
What are you playing on Linux this weekend and what do you think about it?

  • Brutal FreeDoom - Unloved

    • This wad recommended to me awhile back and I got it running but never ended. I just got to the point where I got a red skull key. Totally lost in the maps but I am loving it.

  • Tales of Maj'Eyal

    • I've been playing this game at night for about 30 mins at a time before going to bed on my bedroom HTPC. My wife loves the music and like to read out loud the story as it unfolds. She also like to heckle me when I make a dumb move and get my character killed.

  • Protostriker M

    • I am on the search from SHUMPs that are no twin stick shooters since I hate using the sticks on modern day gamepads. I just want a gamepad and buttons to enjoy my games. This is a great little freeware gem. I am about it end this one as well.

  • The Fall 2: Unbound

    • Still on the first level of this game. I loved part 1 and I am eager to see what's in this game. I just ran enough of it to make sure it runs excellent on my machines and it does.

  • Xonotic

    • I have guest coming over tonight for drinks, potluck dinner and fragging. I have 16 machines ready to roll but due to weather only 12 are coming. We doing no bots then 1) Domination 2) Last Man Standing 1 Life Each and 30 Deathmatch. Winner gets bragging rights.
Sounds like Linux game downloads are popular on game store itch

Steam still has one big advantage left over the others so far : you can get a refund.

I left Steam last summer because of their refund policy. 14 days and under 2 hours of game time. If I find a game breaking bug at the 2+ hour mark, within the 14 day period, I am stuck with a broken game.

On GOG and especially on itch, I get my money back.

itch.io is my number one store. GOG is number two. That's about it for me unless the devs or publisher are selling linux native versions on their own site.

itch's app is excellent but I also download the binaries and install those direct.
Beautiful space combat game EVERSPACE officially out of beta for Linux and now on GOG

Man. This looks great.
Compact action-RPG 'The Swords of Ditto' is out with day-1 Linux support

GOG link is not working and is listed as TBA.
The new GOG profile system is out, looks quite slick

Quoting: ArehandoroNow that we are talking about GOG support. I contacted them to remove certain games from my account and the agent mainly told me that it was a difficult task for them to perform and didn't want to do it for me. They suggested then that I should hide the games and get on with it xD

A long time ago way before they came out with Galaxy, I made the same request and they remove over 100+ games many of which were Windows only games, I got over the years. I recently made another request since I had so many giveaway games that were Windows only, they gave me the same answer.

Quoting: x_wingMy problem is that they don't help us to get new Linux users in our platform. I can teach my girlfriend of how to install games on Linux using Steam but trying to teach hear how to use Linux installers from GoG or how to install an Windows only game with wine it's out of question.

They can be very nice guys and help advanced users to workaround some problems, but they're not being helpful in order to improve our platform for gamers.

I had the reverse happen. My wife hated Steam and Humble Bundle linux native games because 3 out of 5 games would not install or be missing executables and she had to file reports and/or file for refund.

With GOG, she right clicked and gave the .sh files permission and installed her games. The one game that did not work was Witcher 2 at the time and she got refunded same day. She never wants to mess with Wine unless it's already wrapper like the FlatOut series.

Quoting: x_wingI mean, it's just a game downloader launcher, there is no technical difficulty for doing so (well, at least if you don't start your project using .net technologies :/).

That is not what Galaxy is, though. That is exactly what itch.io itch app is.

Galaxy is meant to connect GOG games with their online games which is a different monsters then just download apps.
