It's sounds snarky but the reality is not much will change from software and hardware developers until it reaches that level. Right now the direct support we get is from developers that just happen to like Linux. After around 10% most other developers can no longer afford to ignore that market even if they aren't adept or comfortable with it.

I've played and enjoyed:
OpenTTD
OpenRCT2
OpenClonk
Hedgewars
Foobillard++

I've also been looking at Tabletop Club but haven't played with it much yet.

Some games I thought were pretty good that got somewhat looked over:

Dandara: Trials of Fear -- Somewhat Metroid like but with a unique limited movement system.

The Dwarves -- An ARPG with a bland title (based on a book I guess) that I think made a lot of people overlook this but the gameplay was well done.

Echoes of Aetheria -- Typical JRPG which isn't for everyone but I enjoyed it.

The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians -- Similar to Grimrock (though maybe not quite as good) but still fun.

Figment -- Adventure puzzle game with some surreal and cutesy art, pretty well done.

Full Void -- Inspired by games like Out of this World, it was short but very cool.

Grandpa's Table -- It's not a crazy hard brain teaser, just a relaxing sliding puzzle game with great music.

Rise of the Third Power -- Another JRPG that had some fun writing and combat.

Seedlings -- A Godot engine puzzle platformer with Samarost vibes. The detail put into the story at the ending really surprised me.

GW1 had a great campaign that felt good to progress though. It had some grindy stuff at the end for players that wanted to keep playing past the missions but it wasn't required. Unlike GW2 that just feels like boring grind all throughout.

Often animations get stuck (until a timeout is hit after ~30 seconds).
Sometimes units can appear on a city that already has a unit and is blocked from moving away which prevents ending the turn.
Sometimes linked units don't move together properly until the next turn.
Capturing a builder or settler with a linked unit just deletes it.
Currently if you buy Gathering Storm DLC you cannot play it with anyone who doesn't also own Rise and Fall.

And those are just the issues I noticed personally this week.

Yeah I do hope they update the demo to the latest build and put it back on steam. I found the random factors in Xcom to be really annoying but Capes is all strictly predictable damage and some of the later missions end up being a real challenge to figure out.

 

Disclaimer: I did some early QA work on this title. It's shaped up really well since then and is a lot of fun to play if you're at all into turn based tactics.

Same, our battle just to get a foothold on Ashlands was pretty epic but now we've taken down a fortress and things are getting a lot easier.

 

This update for the native Linux game Valheim has been in testing for a month but is now fully released.

Yeah I like FPS games sometimes but I find them really hard to watch especially if the streamer is twitchy on the mouse and/or the bitrate isn't really high.

[–] Nemoder@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That seems to be the case with the majority of the streams I've seen, just folks havin fun with a few friends showing up now and then. I do like to check out the odd streamer I've never seen especially if it's a game I know really well. What games have you been streaming lately?

I ended up writing a perl script to generate a .m3u from a root music directory that shuffles all the subdirs so I can listen to full albums in random order instead of just tracks.

yeah the headline is pretty bad clickbait but the interview (@11mins) was amusing and pretty high praise for the deck.

If you just adjust your justice you might just make it just.

 

While the gameplay isn't for everyone I think the yearly TI production can be pretty fun to watch with how excited the crowd and casters can get when the action happens. Valve has also done a good job keeping the native Linux client up to date, though the change to SDL3 had a few bumps Icculus was able to help get most of those sorted out now.

 

If this is the same quality Quern was I can't wait to play it!
