I hope they'll continue being awesome in regards to Linux support when Vampyr comes out! :D

Quoting: harfieldFor now I believe Rimworld and the modded version of Spacebase DF9 seem to be far ahead...

Modded Spacebase DF9 you say? Tell me more!

Quoting: EhvisI also noticed a large amount of negative reviews on Wasteland 2. All with less than half an hour of play time. Looks like someone is using the free weekend to take down the rating.

Haha, no, I’m pretty sure these are legit.

Several of them seem a bit... odd. ~0.1h play time and no real comment (eg. "li ca dracu", "Wasteland 2, Best way to waste your time.", this game is sooo bad m8", etc.). It doesn't necessarily seem like a bot problem though, more like spammy reviews.

Quoting: raverrebelobviously http://store.steampowered.com/app/462060 [External Link] has the same umm.. "problem"

Those sure are a lot of 4.1 hour game sessions :P

Quoting: CybolicThey really messed up in the wording of their Kickstarter update, "Beta Access for All Backers". Apparently Linux and Mac backers aren't even included in the definition of "all" anymore :(

They probably meant [Windows version] beta access for all backers. That's about right.

Probably, but they didn't mention any platforms in the remaining text, so it really does seem like "Windows = all" to them at the moment. Wasteland 2 was great though, so I'll keep the pitchforks in the basement for now ;)

Oh, maybe I'll finally get to try this series! The original came out after I'd switched to Linux and I never really felt any urge to try and get it working in Wine, but if it comes natively, I'll be sure to buy it!

EDIT: Still, would much rather have any of the Deus Ex games (especially the upcoming one) ;)

I'm itching to buy this, especially since Doom is still a no-show. Hurry up and port it already! :D

Quoting: qptain NemoKnock-knock [External Link] is a 2D game with a cartoony style but it does wonders with atmosphere and I found it absolutely horrifying, especially at first. It also plays around with some interesting themes and approaches. One of the best horror games I've played/seen.
White Night [External Link] is something I've only seen the beginning of and in a video played by others too, but that certainly was enough to make me realize it belongs in this conversation alright. I'm yet to find the courage to check it out properly.
The Cat Lady [External Link] is almost becoming somewhat of a modern classic among those who are familiar with it. It's disturbing, scary and interesting.

Also I feel that Oxenfree [External Link] deserves an honorable mention, because while not a horror game, it does pleasant spooky supernatural atmosphere better than many straight-up horror games.

Just be careful with Knock-knock and White Night. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them until I very suddenly didn't. Knock-Knock has an odd timer mechanic towards the end, where it's entirely possible to end up not being able to finish the game without starting over; apparently, it's by design, but I've rarely felt more cheated by a game.
White Night is very good, but there is some delay/issues on the controls during camera changes in the Linux port making one specific segment about halfway through the game basically impossible to get through. I tried for hours but eventually had to abandon the game.

I run Steam in Big Picture constantly to better enjoy my Steam Controller, and I suspect most who have the controller are doing the same. Before I got the controller, though, I hadn't had the survey in.... years?

In any case, it's a hardware survey; no one should be using it to count Linux users.
