Well, in the end, I had to go from there it. I'm hanging fire on the DLC for now, since I'm not huge on multiplayer, but looking forward giving this a try.

Quoting: g000hYou mentioned Arma 3 as running on Linux, even though in the Steam Store, it is not visible as a Linux / SteamOS title. I'm quite keen to get a list of other similar titles which aren't shown as working on Linux but still work (e.g. Linux experimental betas, etc).

Quite often I buy bundles, and in some cases I'm pretty sure the game is listed as Windows-only, but there's a Linux version lurking there too, if only I knew about it! I tend not to install the Windows games in bundles, unless I really like the game or I know the game works on Linux.

A good example is Everspace, which doesn't show the Linux/SteamOS icon on Steam store, but there is a working Linux version available.

Here you are [External Link]

Yes, I found that page as well... but... It shows all the working Linux games (2500+) including the ones which have the Icon showing on Steam store. I want to filter out just the ones which work on Linux but don't show a Linux/SteamOS icon on the store.

The only one I know about it The Swindle, which I wrote about a while back on this site. There are likely to be others, but you really just to hear about them through word of mouth.

For some reason, this reminds me of a cross between Nintendo's Pikmin and Klei's Oxygen Not Included. I'm also looking for a good excuse to spend money at Itch.io, so I'll be checking this one out.

Not sure I wanted to "like" this article, but a great review nonetheless. Rubbish that it turned out to be so negative. I'm not a fan of pirate/buccaneer games, but the Warhammer brand gave me some hope that this would be a worthwhile purchase. Obviously not!

Well, after a few hours of playing this awesome game, I got drunk. Yay! You guys knock yourselves out on the DRM/Free holy war.

Remember though, we're here, on this site, because we have three things in common: 1. We love games. 2. We use and love Linux and 3. <mumble mumble mumble>

There was definitely a third thing. Community? Zombies? Beer? Probably beer. Yeah, I'm drunk.

Be cool peeps. See y'all in game.

Quoting: LeopardSo ignore this simple fact while you can , until the very end Shmerl. Being a Polish person is not automatically means being an advocate of GOG , CDPR. Drop it. Please.

C'mon, no need for the attitude. Everyone is a friend here and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: NarvarthThese people just forget that DRM-free games on GOG are also DRM-free on Steam...

Nope. You forget that nothing is DRM-free on Steam.

What? That's not true. Plenty of DRM-free games on Steam [1 [External Link]]. Unless you're being all Stallman-like and saying "goddamit, I want to use a web page to download my game... not a client". If you are, then <sigh>. You're entitled to your opinion, but you'll never convince me that you're on the right path. Remember - I don't want the hassle of "web download, make executable, run dubious executable, never gets updated". I want that client, to take the pain away. Then, I'm only doing that shit ONCE. Even Itch realise this. Only GOG don't get it.

...back on topic, I'm really enjoying this game. The play styles between the core four characters is pretty extreme, but it does feel a bit grindy at the moment. The problem with that grind is that all you fight in the first three levels of the mines is grubs and bugs. Then you get murdered by the mine boss and you start again.

I'm four hours in and all I've done is those three levels, then murdered. It's a bit samey.

Of course, part of the problem is that I've tried all four characters to at least level 2, which means that I'm never quite levelling up one character to be powerful enough to take the boss, but still.

And you need that grind anyway, to unlock all of the town features which allow your character to upgrade beyond the first tier.

So yeah, great game, probably needs multiplayer to be properly fun and a bit grindy in solo mode. I'm gonna keep playing for a bit longer though - there's a "just one more shot" addictive quality to the game that keeps bringing me back for more, even if it does end a rock monster murdering me repeatedly.

[Well, literally after posting this comment, I picked up my controller and "had one more game". Beat the stone boss! Yaay! The game becomes much more interesting after this, with early mines levels filling with grubs/bugs and that resulted in my Warlock zooming up another level. Plus, there are portals to challenge levels. Not sure if I can start in the new "Dungeon" level though, seems like I have to grind though the mines each time and beat the stone boss again <sigh>. Maybe I'll just have one more go...]

Quoting: KimyrielleYes, they are good at their core competency - getting good old games to run on newer machines. I buy games from them for that reason, too. But make no mistake, GOG is NOT a Linux friendly company, and they really don't deserve that fanboyism displayed by some here. When I doubt, I give my money to companies that actually support us...

Well, I think the "fanboyism" is really about DRM-free, and that's fine. Those guys tend to be fairly open between GOG, HB, and Itch. Although these days, HB seems to be mainly a steam-key reseller! At least they still offer downloads for a lot of their bundles, but you have to do your research on their store to make sure you're buying a downloadable, DRM-Free game, or a DRM-Free game via Steam. There really shouldn't be a distinction, but for some people, there is.

I'll stick to Steam though. They're definitely the biggest wrench in the toolbox when it comes to disrupting Microsoft's practices.

I'd love to buy this. Hopefully all these betas will eventually give VP a process by which they can "go gold" and offer official support. I wouldn't even mind if that meant a lag on release. I just want the steamos logo on there and I'll put some money down.

Jaycee, can you clarify if VP are picking up money for the unofficial Linux sales already, even without the logo? I might pull the trigger on the next release if so.
