CorsixTH, the open source game engine for Theme Hospital has a fresh update out
21 Dec 2017 at 3:29 pm UTC

It's still a great game now "in 2018", largely i think because it's not serious. There is a tycoon hospital game coming soon i can't remember the name right now, it surely looks "plentyful" but not so fun, as it's "only" a managment game.

Usual complaint applies
Yep, exactly that.

Some early thoughts on the open-world sandbox game ‘Project 5: Sightseer’

Alright, i tried it, and refunded for now, but i might rebuy very soon now i rethink about it, haha !

I thought it was too boring to drive around, as you can't set real road or fast travel stuff, and to reach some places you need to find unblocked ways, which are not many.

Too many rocks, cliff, holes, i needed to use "Unstuck" way too often, and at the end i even changed the options to set the timer to 20 seconds instead of few minutes.

Also the water is totally broken on my computer. At first i thought i was driving to a desert, then my car started to "fly" and react oddly, until i figured out i was actually floating on water. I can't see lake, only if i move the camera very close to the ground.

I love the design however, and the general setting, but i'm not sure i like being a car instead of a human-sized something. It means no interior, and no real feeling of scales.

Still, just to think about it now, i feel i want to play more, so i may rebuy it sooner than i thought...

I don't think i've seen that before, this is from their company website :

Be aware that we do not distribute press keys for any of our games. This includes Project 5: Sightseer.
They did Windward too, a fun but repetitive pirate boat game, also on Linux, with a quite good suuport 1 year after release, so i would expect a solid game experience with P5S, with a hope of more depth than the previous game they made.

Steampunk strategy game 'They Are Billions' should hopefully release for Linux too

I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon : http://steamcommunity.com/app/644930/discussions/0/1368380934294314930/?ctp=2#c1499000547495814450 [External Link]

Hello!

For now Linux version is not planned! Like Mac version we will study when the full version of the game is out!

Thanks.

Regards!
First, full release, then "study if"...

Hah ! I thought it was a new, new update.

Excellent game, great devs, go and buy it, play it, talk about it.

Now.

Something for the weekend: The X Franchise on Steam is free for a few days and on sale

X3TC is the best game of all the X games, in my opinion.

If you play it, play it with X3TC-Extended mod, it's simply awesome, if you like the genre.

Outside of X, the Early Access game Helium Rain, form Deimos Games, is great too.

A lot later than expected, but the open-world pirate RPG 'Tempest' is now in Beta for Linux

Current Beta is broken (no Play/Install button after entering the beta branch), but there is good hope they will fix the issue soon enough.

Here's another way to look at the Linux market share on Steam

I'd like to see same kind of analysis with GoG, Humble and Itch.io

I take my games from, in order : Steam (less and less), itchio (more and more), Humble, Dev's websites, random Bundles like Fanatical

Parkitect, the theme park building game has officially entered Beta with a new update
3 Dec 2017 at 11:13 am UTC

The price goes up from time to time, they announced it several times, and they even remind people before the deadlines "next week it will be more expensive blah blah" so i'm perfectly fine with this policy.

Parkitect is an excellent game and was one of the best alpha for me so far, with almost never missed weekly devlog, and monthly update, since mid-2016 (i jumped in with Alpha 2 i think).
