Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter is now waiting on SteamVR being updated for Linux
16 Feb 2017 at 2:59 pm UTC

It's really great to see Croteam supporting Linux so well. I'm really looking forward to the Fusion Update 2017 for SS1-3 and the upcoming SS4. In the meantime I'm playing through the Talos Principle. If I ever get VR, I'll be sure to buy the SS VR games.

Croteam say all Serious Sam games are on their way to Linux with Vulkan, also VR on Linux teaser from Valve

This is great, I've been wanting to go back and finish Serious Sam 3, but it's sometimes buggy on my multi-monitor setup. I hope this fixes that.

They should update their Itch.io page [External Link] then. It still says they support Linux.

Could also be Planescape: Torment...
Could be great to have Icewind Dale 2 as it's the only one I haven't played at all!
I was hoping for PST too, but the line

makes me think otherwise.

Is this only games where the game was new this year and it supports Linux or games that got Linux support this year?

Quoting: km3kI haven't played Infinifactory, but with TIS-100, I think it would be very difficult to make a good tutorial.
Did you play Human Ressource Machine? (You should! :) )
It does a better job in slowly introducing what you need.
I did! (I was a tester for the Linux version too. :D ) If the structure was more like HRM, it might be easier to do a tutorial.

I haven't played Infinifactory, but with TIS-100, I think it would be very difficult to make a good tutorial. There's a lot of concepts to cover. It might be possible, given that it's "only" Assembly-like programming, but it would be tough to do and still wouldn't help everyone. With Shenzen I/O, it looks like that would be an even more difficult task. I haven't played it yet, but it looks like there's a combination of Assembly-like programming as in TIS-100, plus circuit design and signal processing.

For the type of people they seem to be targeting most, the fake manuals are exactly what are needed.

I only just started TIS-100 and I'm liking it so far, but I already see it's a game that requires a lot of focus. I'd like to play Shenzen I/O, but will probably wait until I have time to digest that manual.
