Quoting: whizseNot to be confused with 1NSANE of course.

I mean, one's a 19 year-old car game I had to Google, which is only available on Windows from GOG and this is a 2D story-led side scroller available on Linux on Steam!

So I don't think too many people will be confused, no! :grin:

I loved Limbo, refused to buy Inside when it went windows only, so this game is of interest for sure. But I do subscribe to Humble Choice and if you like this style of game and you're willing to play via Proton, I can HIGHLY recommend Planet Alpha, which was/is one of the best games I've played this year. I mean... I still wouldn't have bought it, because it's also windows only, but it was free in the bundle, so... up to you!

But this goes on the wishlist for sure. It's got to be better than Orphan, which was a huge disappointment.

I have to say, the reviews for this game are atrocious. The number of reviews that basically say "technical flaws everywhere, awful bugs, 100%" or "flawed execution, distracting bugs, got to hope for the first round of patches, 100%". It's embarrassing how many truly huge houses have just bought into the hype... the sheer HOPE that this game will one day be good.

They're not reviewing the game. They're reviewing its potential.

So again, it's a "no, thanks" from me. Maybe I'll pick it up for a fiver in a few years, like I did with Prey.

Quoting: ShmerlInteresting and it's too bad CDPR still don't have Linux developers in-house. Such big company shouldn't be cheap about it, by outsourcing their work.

You realize that you just called Valve a cheap company? They outsource most (or all?) of their Linux work.

Pretty sure that the main driving force behind Valve's Linux work is in house. What's outsourced? Or are you conflating sponsoring Collabora and Codeweavers work with outsourcing?

On a side note, this probably means Cyberpunk (Windows) won't be coming out with a Vulkan renderer either even though it's already working with it on Stadia... What a huge shame.

Are you sure that technically this is how it works on Stadia?

This crops up quite a lot, but yes, all Stadia games are run on Linux, with Vulkan.

As for Cyberpunk - it's a no from me. CDPR is just not a company I'm interested in supporting.

Quoting: docofkult

Quoting: scaineWow, that was really quick. Presumably a result of the original being open source, so little to no reverse engineering (or guessing/trial-and-error) was required.

Are you saying TES: Daggerfall is open-source? This it the first time I have heard that and I can't seem to find any references to it online. Only that Daggerfall Unity is an open-source project.

Ah you're right. I conflated that a) DFU is open source and b) Daggerfall is available as a free download.

So still some reverse engineering was probably required after all. Maybe as a much earlier game, there wasn't as much though.

Great work. I'm gonna have to try this, although with OpenMW also clamouring for my attention, not to mention all my modern games, god knows when I'm gonna get a chance to fit it all in. I have a couple of weeks off over Christmas though... so... :grin:

I bought the first one when you covered this a few months ago. Absolutely insane, but a lot of fun. I'll definitely be getting this when I run out of love for Noita.

This one reminds me of the old 16-bit title, Trailblazer, but mixed with SEUM-style graphics. I love the destructive terrain too, which also reminds me of Samsai's twitch run a couple of years back... cluster trucks... I think it was called Cluster Trucks?

Might have to pick this one up. It looks great!

This game is superb. I absolutely battered through it in just 3 hours, but there's not a single bit of filler in there. Loved it. Hopefully this leads to more content via Workshop as I'm pretty sure there's room for some absolutely evil puzzles to play out!
