I'd recommend Dungeon Warfare [External Link] in the Humble sale. Basically it's a Tower Defence game, but quite different to the regular ones. Thoroughly enjoyed playing it and after 56 hours of play, I'm close to completion of all the missions.

A shame we don't have percentage Linux sales on this. (I got Dicey on itch.io during early access.)

Personally, I'm all in favour of GamingOnLinux being a family-friendly website. It should be safe for youths to visit and check out Linux games, and also Dads and Mums to visit, when their kids are in the room. I'd be mortified if I was showing my nephew or niece a link on this site and suddenly the next game in the list was a sexually-inappropriate title for their viewing. Also, there is the viewing of this site in the workplace and the NSFW meme. On top of this, a proportion of gamers would find such content distasteful and it could cause them to actively avoid visiting the site.

Added to the wishlist, heh.

I think this might set a precedent for kickstarter campaigns. Make lofty goals of Mac and Linux releases, and then go back on those goals with refunds later. If only people kept their promises, eh.

Just spotted Iron Marines [External Link] ~ RTS game by the developers behind Kingdom Rush ~ at 70% discount. Probably going to get it, moments after posting this.

Got my copy of Shadow of the Tomb Raider *at last*.

Also I recently purchased Stay Safe: Labyrinth of the Mad [External Link] (which is very affordable at full price), and Rats, Bats, & Bones [External Link] which are great indie titles.

Similar idea to the tower defence game Dungeon Warfare (also on Linux). I like this type of game, and was upset when Dungeon Warfare II wasn't released as Linux native.

EDIT: Bought it within 3 minutes of the discount expiring. Heh.

I picked up a number of titles very cheaply in the Fanatical Horror Pick 'n' Mix [External Link] bundle.

I already knew that STASIS had an unofficial Linux build (It isn't listed as a Linux game on the Steam page) and was one title I chose. I also chose Downfall, assuming that I'd play it with Proton, but pleased to say that it also seems to have an unofficial Linux build.

There are probably numerous other "Windows only" titles which I'd be more willing to buy if I knew they had a hidden, working Linux build.

From reading this, I decided to check out the Dying Light offer just for interest, and that lead me on to notice something that annoyed me. I originally bought "Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition" about 2 years ago. After buying it I picked up a few of the DLC packages when they appeared on discount, e.g. Bozak Horde.

Now, when looking at this deal, it seems like my "Enhanced Edition" has now been downgraded to plain "Dying Light". The reason for this seems to be that the Enhanced Edition now seems to be the equivalent of a Definitive Edition or GOTY edition, which includes all DLC and Season Pass (although to my mind the Season Pass is pretty much all the current DLC, as I expect not much more of value will come out for this game in the future).

I hope it is just a name-change and this doesn't mean my actual owned game has lost graphical fidelity or its "enhancedness".
