Interestingly, it is currently free-to-try for the next few days on Steam (as well as discounted if you buy it).

Not quite getting how they can be DRM-Free, and also give the game out for a free trial. Doesn't that mean a load of people will grab the game (in its current release state) and then keep and play it beyond the trial deadline?

Already on my wishlist. It's the sort of game I'd like, I can just tell.

Not played that much this weekend, but just completed (killed the boss) on FTL, using the third Engi ship, which I've not done on my present install before.

Also, I'm playing plenty of "Slay the Spire" the past few weeks. If you've played it a lot, then you're probably ready to get the Beta, and access the third character (which plays very differently to the first two).

EDIT:

Just bought and just started playing "Space Grunts" (currently discounted on Humble store). It's a simple rogue-like, turn-based, x-com-like, pixel-art game, but reasonably deep and strategic decisions to get further and further through it. Liking it so far.

Good luck with the new job.

Time for some amusing comments:

Maybe off to join CD Projekt Red - Finally The Witcher 3!!! Also... Cyberpunk 2077 .... spooge!

More likely, poached by Square Enix ... and if that the case, I guess yet more of their titles coming to Linux. (Shadow of the Tomb Raider :) ).

Finally, as someone has already suggested, maybe working in the heart of Valve, bringing new Valve titles to the masses!

Getting closer and closer to 800 Linux titles on my Steam account =P

Got the BTA bundle, as I already own Rocket League. Quite nice to hand out extra copies of Tumblestone keys to other Steam friends (Done two so far). Also played Tumblestone for an hour, quite decent.

I really appreciate Broforce too. Toying with the idea of buying a second copy to show the love to the developers. My first one is on GOG.

AAA game with a promising Linux release schedule. Great!

Darkest Dungeon is a fantastic game, well put together, fun to play... but it is just too hard and brutal for me. When I play, it just is too painful to go forward. I'd say you have to be masochistic to really get on with it. This game kicks you when you're down, and you start off your next mission worse than you were in the last one. If this wasn't the case, I'd probably have played lots and lots of it.

However, there are two similar games (semi turn-based, rogue-like, perma-death, RNG) which I adore:

FTL: Faster Than Light
Slay The Spire

Both of these fill the void that I was hoping Darkest Dungeon would have filled for me. Oh well :(
