Quoting: EikeDon't know if there are enough such games, but I gave it a try:

Please add what you're aware of.

Nice! I added The Swindle, then thought it would look nicer as a table. Feel free to revert, of course.

There's probably some real gems to be found, but since I own all but two of your recommendations and since I'm abroad and mobile phones are slightly rubbish, I buckled like a cheap belt and bought a wishlist recommendation that popped up that was SteamPlay only. I'll be playing A Plague Tale Innocence this weekend when I get back from Dublin.

Oh, and just before I left for Dublin, I discovered that there's a tiny hack to get Space Marine working working on SteamPlay too - I purchased that in early 2013, about a month before I ditched Windows forever. Now, 6 years later, I get to play! Result!

Not a great 'native gaming' story, but still important, I think. I suppose I would though...

It's been Ubuntu led for as long as I remember, but I might have been thinking of 'ubuntu-based' which is still leading by a decent margin, rather than a specific distro.

Haha - there are still 4 participants rocking a 32-bit architecture! Wow.

Also, how long has Arch+Manjaro been more popular than Ubuntu+Mint? I find that quite surprising.

Better for us Linux gamers, of course, because now we get to see what we can actually play, instead of taking a gamble each month. I'll be pausing this month, for example, because the main reveal is COD:WWII which is "borked" on ProtonDB, and I've no interest in the other two reveals. But I'll be gutted if the remaining games are games I'd buy.

The price increase is tough to take, but I guess it won't affect me for a while anyway since I'm a current subscriber.

I've been playing a lot of 7 Days to Die obviously, both on stream and single player. The new A18 build is just fantastic to play, despite a few frustrations. Great to have some challenge back in the game.

I also bought Steamworld, Hand of Gilgameck. It's a slow starter, but my team has just gained an interesting new member and the tactics are beginning to really show. Looking forward to more of that.

I might buy Noita for SteamPlay. It's getting a lot of attention from streamers right now and looks like a lot of fun. Maybe after SteamWorld.

I haven't played this for a few weeks after being utterly hooked on it for about a fortnight or so. It's excellent, but after about 8-9 hours or so, I felt it became a bit grindy, needing two or three dungeon runs back to back to be able to afford the "next" upgrade. My only other gripe is that the snake boss is nearly unbeatable, so I ended up doing the dungeon runs every time instead - but that requires that you do the mage/knight boss sequence instead (

Spoiler, click me

talk to them in one run, find a key in a second run, then find the secret dungeon entrance in the third run, and finally free the prisoner, which unlocks the dungeon area

).

Now that they've added so many new features, I think I'll be playing again.

This looks like my kind of game. I was considering a 505 Games ban a while back, but I think they're only in the shade over the admittedly awful handling of the Bloodstained kickstarter cock up, so I'm willing to cut them a break.

And yeah, this looks like my kind of game. I think I'm gonna have to pick it up, but now that I've upgraded to the latest Ubuntu LTS, I think I might send my money back to Steamworld Quest instead - I refunded it when it didn't launch on Ubuntu 16.04. And it looks awesome.

Then I'll probably buy this.

Huh - I'm the opposite. I love the new design. So much more engaging and eye-catching. I especially love the little "player" icon that appears next to games in your library to show that friends are playing that game - it gives you so much potential to hook up for a game with friends, instead of arranging it manually, or checking friend lists (which I rarely bothered with).

The only thing I'm missing right now, and I haven't spent long hunting, is a way to show what games are taking up the most space on my disk. I have to periodically do that to remove the big-hitters. Even with a terabyte disk, I have to some house-cleaning occasionally and it was pretty straightforward on the old design.

It also doesn't seem to be amazingly obvious when a game is using Steam Play (or am I missing something here)? No big deal though really.

So yeah, huge improvement in my books.

I'm still loving this game. Fantastic to see it develop to aggressively.
