Probably about an hour after it came available for Linux/SteamOS, I began downloading (less than 3GB) and was ready to play fairly soon. It started off with a small-ish windows start menu, and from there I was able to select the options. I selected 3840x2160 full screen mode, and soon I was up and playing. First place I went was the Training mode, and had a go with keyboard and mouse. Not so bad, but decided to try gamepad instead, and that was definitely working out better for me.

Then connected a second gamepad (Xbox 360 wired controller) and played split-screen with a friend. Working very nicely indeed, good frame rate, controls responsive. Took some time before getting used to the play and the controls. I found the game play nice and responsive, once I was playing better. At the start, I was all over the place.

Got Rocket League, decently cheap on the Humble Monthly subscription, a few month's back. I'd heard it was due to come to Linux (Actually, the messages were hinting it'd be out end of July, so I've been expecting it for a while). Still, finally it is here. My "Windows Only" and unused Humble Monthly Steam copy of Rocket League is now no longer "Windows only" and I'm able to enjoy it on my preferred operating system (Debian Linux).

The pair of Xbox 360 wired controllers were detected fine by the game, and ready to use with no fiddling around. I was actually impressed at how seamlessly they were just up and running.

My first posting on your site. Just spotted that Shadow Warrior 2 on Humble Bundle is listed as having Windows, Mac, Linux steam-key versions. Here is the link: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/shadow-warrior-2

Now, I realise that it is a pre-order, and it doesn't mean there'll be a Linux version on day-1 but it is still promising. The release date is listed as 13th October 2016 on HB.

Looking forward :)
